Re: 11/1-11/7 Game Discussion Thread
What? What teams are you talking about? THe Suns just made the Western Conference Finals last year....not good?So now Shawn Marion was a slasher and scorer/closer? Okay.
People will say anything for the sake of supporting their arguments. Gosh darn.
Don't get me wrong, I like Marion, and he was a great defender (great), but he was not a slasher by any means and certainly not a scorer/closer.
And J-Rich was not on those good Phoenix teams.
Dude Marion was a slasher off of Nash creating. The Bulls don't have that is my point. Derrick Rose has no one to slash, shoot or finish off of his creations.
I have no idea what you are talking about closing from a PG. What do you want Rose to do that Nash did then?
Checkout the latest stats of Shawn Marion. Get info about his position, age, height, weight, draft status, shoots, school and more on Basketball-Reference.com
Marion averaged 20 ppg with the Suns.....again what are you talking about.....Last edited by Dewie12; 11-05-2010, 11:12 PM.Comment

Marion scored transition points with the Suns and played defense. He didn't just take guys off the dribble like a typical "slasher" would.What? What teams are you talking about? THe Suns just made the Western Conference Finals last year....not good?

Marion scored his fair share of points, but wasn't really a "scorer".
And what I meant by "good" Suns teams was just the Steve Nash MVP-ish years. I'm not trying to downplay their other accomplishments.
If you remember those years, you'll remember Steve Nash hitting clutch threes all the time (ridiculous overtime game against I forget who comes to mind) and doing it off the pick-and-roll. And I'm not saying Rose can be the guy who hits those threes. What I am saying is that a PG can be a closer, and it has happened before. That's all.
Bumi has this idea that no PG can ever be a closer and that no team led by their PG can win it all. It's just not true.Bears | Bulls | Cubs | Illinois | #Team3Some

Re: 11/1-11/7 Game Discussion Thread
A slasher is someone who can get to the cup, with or without the ball in their hands. Marion did this all the time.
I will just leave the rest of this alone because I have no idea what point you are trying to make about who are "closers".Comment

Re: 11/1-11/7 Game Discussion Thread
The Suns have made the western conference finals more than one time with Nash as the PG. Secondly, yes, Marion was a slasher/scorer during the height of his career with Phoenix. Jason Richardson fit that role last season.So now Shawn Marion was a slasher and scorer/closer? Okay.

And then there was Amare, who was, and remains, an elite scoring big.Comment

Nash was a moderate scorer and elite facilitator. He WAS NOT his teams primary scoring threat. Derrick Rose on the other hand, is.Marion scored transition points with the Suns and played defense. He didn't just take guys off the dribble like a typical "slasher" would.

Re: 11/1-11/7 Game Discussion Thread
Marion "got to the cup" in the transition game. He was not a slasher in the traditional sense. He was not an effective slasher in the half-court game.
And most of my post was directed towards Bumi, hence the closer part. He claimed Phoenix had a closer not named Steve Nash, and said it was either Amare or Marion. I assume he would take Marion out of the two because Amare isn't really a ball handler.
Again, the only part of the post originally directed at you was the part about Marion being a slasher.Bears | Bulls | Cubs | Illinois | #Team3Some

Re: 11/1-11/7 Game Discussion Thread
In crunch time, Steve Nash was the primary scoring threat.
And wait a second, you just told us Boozer won't help Rose in late-game situations. How can you turn around and say Steve Nash (another pick and roll guard) was helped by Amare (another a pick and roll forward)?
And I still don't know where you got the idea that Shawn Marion was a "slasher/scorer". That would imply that he created his own shots.Bears | Bulls | Cubs | Illinois | #Team3Some
