It just became too much and forced me to write an article and vent my frustrations. By the way, did anyone else see Big Baby Davis crying in tonight's game? Pricesless!

However I would add that the assists should lead to an easier basket than the scoring player could have created on his or her own. Passing to Kobe with 2 secs left and he nails a smothered 3 pointer is not really an assist in my book. Only open jumpers, layups and dunks should qualify. Assists become alot more subjective then but that's how I feel about it. Point proven Steven. :)

There's a great article at 20 Second Timeout that talks of how assists aren't tracked well these days. http://20secondtimeout.blogspot.com/2008/11/smooth-all-around-performance-by-paul.html John, an assist is supposed to be awarded if the recipient makes an immediate move to score after catching the pass and if the pass contributed significantly to scoring the goal.

So maybe he is sweet. lol But he's always been a pretty good rebounder for a guy who's only 6'1." Think Jason Kidd triple doubles (10 pts, 10 boards, 10 assists). The thing is that I doubt he really got 17 assists. The whole system of what an assist really counts as is all screwed up. I’m not surprised Rondo got a triple double. So maybe he is sweet. lol

His last year at the Univ of Kentucky he led his whole team in rebounding. He averaged 6.1 in 2005-2006 at Kentucky. He just has a knack for it and he has extremely long arms. He is a solid player.

A Triple Double! 16 pts 13rbs 17asts. Thats a baller. Lil Bow Wow's big brother is becoming dominant. I think the Pistons can beat every team in the league other than the celtics right now. We can only beat the Celtics with everyone playing Arron Afflalo defense! The Celtics have earned their Swag. They are no longer the big 3 but now the Big 4 especially with Rondo. Come on!
