There is a D-league for realgm Poster? :)

Andrea is playing badly. But is changing its type of game. This Smitch wants now. It takes only patience. Bargs will be a very good player (but not at the level of Lebron. No match).

Notice how when Sam Mitchell gives him 25+ minutes he will score 15 points or more?


Don't mix up cause and effect. Does he play better when he plays 25 mins, or does he play 25 mins because he's playing well enough to deserve it?

For it to be the former, then he's got to be playing same as ever for 25 mins, then the switch goes off after that magical mark and he plays well. That's pretty unlikely, and a bad reflection on the player.

So my guess is that it's the latter. When he's playing well he gets more court time, so his stats end up higher. So your comment doesn't do anything to shift the blame away from him.
