Message: [QUOTE="CuseFaninVT, post: 2440973, member: 2002"] It's an interesting post, but assists are only granted to a player when the person passed to makes a bucket and scores points. I don't understand what you are saying when you say (twice) "while assists don't get you points." Literally, the only way you can receive an assist is when your team scores points. I like points. And as you say, unassisted points are harder to come by than assisted points. I would FAR rather see Matty M throw down a 2-handed dunk with resultant goofy celebration from a pretty Frank dime than Tyus go 1 on 3 and struggle to make one of two free throws. Tyus had two pretty passes to Matt in the last game. When he gets pressed harder, he gets tighter with the ball and passes less. It should be the opposite. You want to put two guys on Battle, great. Tyus, pass to the open guy for a dunk. That's the easiest way to beat a double team. [/QUOTE]
