The three main categories for a player aren't good enough for you...
Since I watched the games it kinda isn't. Numbers won't tell the whole story especially just 3 categories

I mean come on now, these are point guards and we aren't even listing Turnovers or Steals. Rio only averages more points because he's shot more than Teague, A LOT more 3's at that.

You can suit yourself but I like athletic PGs that can average good A-TO ratios and can get me more steals.

What a horrible way to close the game for Sacramento.

Take two terrible shots and allow a open three and then not getting back and allowing an easy layup.

Yeah well at least Tyreke was able to bounce back after leaving the game in the 2nd and finish with another strong game. He's looked phenomenal his last 3 games.

I heard the Kings announcers (Bill Walton) say that it was so bad that it looked like it could end his game and maybe even season. Were they just exaggerating?

If I remember correctly (this is from me graphing the NBA) he only does select games.

When you watch the replay it really does look bad. All his body weight lands on the side of his ankle. He wasn't even able to walk into the tunnel under his own power, Cousins and someone else who I don't remember had to aid him. But then he came out his same old self in the second half.

Antawn Jamison posts up and loses the ball. Anthony Parker wide open for a 3, waits to be contested to take the 3.

Rio and Teague also play MUCH different roles on their respective teams. Chalmers is a better passer than Teague but isn't relied on to facilitate as much because of LeBron/Wade. Chalmers suits the Heat MUCH better because he's a much better open jump shooter than Teague, and he gets a lot of them from kick-outs form LeBron/Wade. I don't know what you don't get about that? Clearly the Heat would rather have Chalmers than Teague.

Might have something to do with the Cavs shooting 14% from 3 when they normally shoot 40%+

Part of it but that doesn't have to do with the defensive side of the floor. First half we weren't making shots, this half we are.

Dove why don't the Blazers play Nolan Smith more? He's done well all 3 games he's gotten in/.
