Tim Duncan makes the Spurs better because he NEGATES HIS TEAM'S MISTAKES. His players don't play better because of him. They just DON'T PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES BECAUSE DUNCAN IS THERE.

Decision making is not the same as losing shooting ability.

Dirk had one of the best post-season runs ever, and Terry was great as well.

You have no case. I already proved that the Mavericks performed just as well defensively without Chandler as they did with him.

Kind of wish they went with gold/silver/bronze tier of SS

Posterizer--Hakim Warrick??
Shot Creator--Kemba Walker??
Ankle Breaker--Austin Rivers??
Pick Pocket--Jeremy Lin?????
Chase Down Artist--Brandon Rush??
Bruiser--David West??
Closer...let's not even go there.

Of course this can all be edited anyway, so really just a minor complaint.

Still waiting to see how normal attributes weigh with these SS. Hopefully MJ will still dunk better than Warrick, dribble better than Rivers, chase-block better than Rush, and steal better than Lin.

You DID!? Where? All you've done is scream about it - arguing with anyone that tries to help you get it. And if they fail to convince you - that's proof? Come on dude.

Woodson came to the Knicks and they got better defensively, and when he became head coach, they improved even MORE. Yeah, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

These skills do not conflict with the coaches' impact. Has nothing at all to do with this.

Quote:

Look at Defensive Efficiency. The Mavs did not get that much better with Chandler.

There is FAR too much that goes into this, so you can't just look at 1 metric and draw some over-arching conclusion. Did they get better with Chandler? Yes.

what 2k is doing with sig skills is pretty genius.

You will find that you and your opponent will be approaching the game like a real life match, same strategies and everything.

@RyanFitzmagic Tyson Chandler makes his teammates better on defense in real life because he is very vocal. Watch the Knicks games and you will see he is constantly talking and directing players on where to be, what's happening, and what to do on defense. He's like a defensive coordinator out there. Just like a floor general on offense setting up the offense for the best scoring opportunity.

I already proved that Dallas was better with Dampier than Chandler, and that they didn't fall off at all when Chandler left after 2011.

It has everything to do with this, because coaches have more impact on defenders improving than defensive anchors do.

Yea can someone give me some statistical backup/logic as to why Brandon Rush has a chasedown block signature?

And shot 3pt better than Reggie Millers as well? Lol
