Rockets declined Chandler Parsons 4th-year option

[WOW!!]

I did. One post down from the other.

I don't care. I saw the games with my own eyes.

That's just like taking Pff word as gospel.

Hard facts are we gave up fewer points a game when he played. And we had no rim defense or great shot blocker and still had a top 6 defense.

Hard facts are we had 3 OT games and had one terrible game against Portland where we gave up 134 points, as well as a tough west coast road trip which altogether skewed those numbers a bit. Plus Jeff Taylor got hurt and we had a PF in Tolliver starting at the 3 through a lot of it.

We are better defensively with MKG on the floor, but he isn't someone who can't be started over with right guy.

BTW, PFF is a grading system, not stats

[WOW!!]

Once we quit starting Tolliver at the 3 and started CDG, those gawdy numbers came back down a bit also

Do you mean CDR??? Which he played a lot of SG when Henderson was injuried.

[WOW!!]

Yes CDR, and I erased that post because it was inaccurate.

The main point was that we had a PF in Tolliver starting at 3 for many of those games after Taylor got hurt.

[WOW!!]

We need this in the line up no matter what.

Mkg off the bench is still a lot of minutes for him to swing between sf/sg...not alot changes except for better floor spacing..

If you dont mind me intruppting the bickering

[teeray]

Nobody said he wasn't a good defender. Just saying he isn't someone who can't be started over with right guy

So when guys have bad games it is because of MKG, but when they drop 50+ it is on someone else right?

Use numbers from outside of that time period then and you get 97 PPP without and 93 with MKG. Still elite defensive numbers, problem was he got into foul trouble a lot and they cut his minutes after the injury. Still doesn't stop his numbers from being elite level defensively.

Correlation does not always mean causation.

But for the 100th time, MKG is a good defender and we are better defensively when he is on the floor.

But to say he is a catalyst that can't be started over is in my opinion innacurate.
