i agree that it is a personal responsibility issue, but i would say that a wife and children losing 25 years with their husband or father would be considered harmful.

but rubio's turnover % is 22.7, which means he turns the ball over 22.7 times per 100 plays. irving's is much better, at 16.9.
one more stat... irving's win shares per 48 minutes is .146. rubio's is .116.
i don't want to sound like i'm not a rubio fan, but i see irving as being more of a game changer.

if you look at their stats per 36 minutes, rubio only averages .4 more rebounds than irving. less than half of 1 rebound does not mean he is a noticably better rebounder.
i don't see anybody running away with it over a 66 game season, but i agree that the knicks will take the atlantic, with the celtics and 6ers fighting over second place.
right's argument isn't based on anything (see below).
he brings up injuries as a reason why the heat could fail.... an injury to ANY of these teams' studs would wreck each of their championship hopes, it's not something unique to miami.
------------------- "Lets look at the last few teams that won titles recently, shall we?
those ppg totals are their regular season averages for the year.
right did not mention that EACH of those 3 guys averaged less points in the post season last year than in the regular season numbers above.
how does that support right's argument about the bench's increased importance in the playoffs if his example won the title while getting less production from its bench?
