Hawks (43-10) at Celtics (19-31) Game #51 2/11/15

You don't bench a player in the last 5 minutes  after showing that hustle.

Was at the game, I said the exact same thing, that and also benching smart on the final possession, CBS ended up looking smart with turner making that floater, but IMO, terrible line-up for the final possession.

I enjoyed Tommy at the end ...

I don't even he thought a come back was possible ...

He was like .....so surprised sounding when ET shot went in ........I was laughing at his voice .....it was like dang ..we won ! HA hA ...

If Thorton and Bass are traded by the deadline, does this team becoming a bottom 7 team? Or are those roles easily fillable by Young and another backup big?

Is Prince's influence on this team the reason for the wining? Or is this team naturally scrappy and will pull out wins?

What does Ainge do?

I do not know the exact numbers but our Win % has gone up impressively in the games that Prince played.

So...

9-14 with Rondo (39% win percentage)
11-17 without Rondo (39% win percentage)

Makes sense.

Mavs... 19-8 without Rondo (70% win percentage)
Mavs... 16-11 with Rondo (59% win percentage)

Seems legit

+1.

Actually... Mavs 12-9 with Rondo (57% win percentage).   They've gone 4-2 since his injury. 

Another Danny Ainge special.  3 draft picks for an unrestricted free agent that makes almost no impact on a team's ability to win games.  Pretty pleased with the trade.

Rajon Rondo is a top 3 player in the NBA.

so, this is an argument that prince should be traded?

This reminded me of how some try to use statistics to measure a players true value  Well said Charles.

Also, did anyone here get the girls in highschool? Haha

Charles used a stat as his counterargument, confirming that he's a nerd that can't play basketball and never been laid.

Hugeee fan of the knock on analytics. Gotten into disputes with others here re: the issue, but you're listening to HOFers completely dispel their validity.

Celtics made history with this game. The worst FG (32.2%) to win a game since the 60´s.
