Yeah, I guess this makes sense.

The thing when I played was that I was so incapable of this kind of decision making that I find it pretty remarkable to see it in action.

It's simply a hard skill wrap your head around.

Sorry for being picky for an otherwise excellent post..but for all the kids out there..FYI..its RAPPORT!

And oh..Jose is unbelievable lol..kinda pissed that he probably wont make the ASG coz of stupid fans voting in Kidd and to certain extent Wade (who missed half the season and his team is doing nothing for him to b an worthy all star candidate...but OH well..its the same story e/yr)

you guys remember the play when Jose puts the ball in play and tries to communicate with Joey - they show it many times on RapTV?

It is the play when Jose puts the ball in play and he calls/whistles Joey...(whispers/lip talks about passing the ball to him) then a bit frustrated he goes again: Joey, yo, hei, Joey...whispers again "I'll pass you the ball"...

It is frustrating to play with players who can not read eye contact.
