having an undersized point guard who tries to be your leading scorer isn't a recipe for success in the playoffs.


Looks like New Orleans is doomed... :cry:

His ability to run an offense, play under control, and take smart shots within a system.

Ford overdribbles the ball and often goes into MeJ mode; having an undersized point guard who tries to be your leading scorer isn't a recipe for success in the playoffs.

Career Loser = LeBron James

If you actually watched the raptors, you'd notice Calderon's "safe" play makes him insanely predictable. Our offense in the last 4-5 minutes of the game goes to waste. Last year we were one of the best teams in wins with less that 3 points, this year we're one of the worst. Jose's playing style is good for the regular season, but when teams gear towards him in the post-season, he'll get exposed.

Injuries make this decision a no-brainer.

You simply can't count on Ford staying healthy. The other differences between the two players pale in comparison to this inescapable fact.
