[*]Very much concur with the first paragraph!
[*]Very fair point - in the last 3rd of the year, it's quite easy to say Goodine was, at worst, equal to BB per 40 MPG.  I tend to think that's rather worthless statistically...for reasons below, but I can make that argument.  I may also argue the second Carolina game, etc...for various reasons weren't outstanding by BB despite stats, but I'll leave it alone as they were fine.
[*]If you say that about BG, then we're on the same page!  :)  I think he did enough to warrant a longer leash - I truly do.  I also think with the longer leash, the more you tend to produce.  Again, I often reference players like BJ Johnson, who seem to only excel in the odd games where they get some kind of extended run.  Whereas, in the games they "suck" and don't produce they're usually pulled off of 1 turnover, or one missed shot.  Which leads to bad stats, which is quickly referenced (and quite worthless as a reference point IMO), and makes people rely upon observing other basketball related skills.  Which some people don't seem good at it IMO (not you, just a general observation).

Anyway, great response!
