Update: Keith Smart would have won & January rookie "point" guards

Remember when Keith Smart got road wins against Western playoff teams with only 6 players while Nellie tanned on Maui?  Uh huh.  Leading rookie rebounders in January: DeJuan Blair and Omri Casspi. Must be nice.

After Stephen Curry's ridiculous shit game last night, it's clear he's no point guard.  And he always seems to play 40+, doesn't he? Skiles manages Jennings at 30-32 MPG this month so far.  See the numbers below to see how ineffective Curry is per minute in relevant point guard measures.  And yet the free pass because he got Nellie Ball shitwing style!  Others leave no doubt they are NBA point guards.

Increasingly, it seems that Curry's shot and 6th man-style bad-defense-exploitation scoring is all he has in this league and even that is no guarantee.  He scored a quick 6 points in the final 1:40 of the second quarter while the Bucks coasted into the half but was absolute shit throughout the ENTIRETY of the other 46+ minutes in the game.  But of course tried and failed to chuck stat pad 3's to close both halves, the game-ender after committing a foul like a moron in a situation that resulted in 3 free points for the opposition and put the game decisively in the can after Jennings smoked him straight up with an ice cold 3 bomb in his face, but also GOT HIM THE BALL BACK!  Savor your shitball steals, Baron Davis fans.  Losses losses losses and no team defense of note whatsoever.  Omri Casspi crushes GQ for pressure scoring work so far if that's what you want, while also adding hard-nosed toughness and some rebounding/defending size and versatility to the equation. 

The transition to the league is rough, the distances further (even though I'm sure GQ Head Case has been practicing NBA 3's his whole life), the players bigger (faster, better, more intelligent, better coached, less douchey).  So he gets some time to develop one might say.  I might agree if he wasn't so gung-ho and all for the me-first stat-padding shit ball Nelson plays for him as he uses him PRECISELY as I said he would: highest percentage gunner coming out of college and some handles/passing potential.  But mostly just chuck chuck chuck and the percentages dip MIGHTILY in true matchups with better, faster players.  Like Brandon Jennings and Luke Ridnour (seriously- watch games folks).

Li'l GQ Stat Pad

(like a wee-wee pad only with an X-box addiction. 
Digression: whole league loves video games, folks.  STFU with smears of players you don't like that you've based entirely upon video game habits.  Fucking Lebron and Durant LOVE their video games.  It's a league of children, sports fans.  Learn it or get out the effin way)

...got absolutely SMOKED by Brandon Jennings last night. 

Jennings is an annoying little shit and he dribbles too much with a Gilbert Arenas-level head case one-on-one agenda when matched up against his draft day "rival" Curry.  But he's a point guard and he was electric once Skiles noted the Warriors' "defense" and made adjustments to team offense movement for the second half instead of just letting the Bucks stand around with the Warriors' coaching "staff" thinking Jennings was allowed to do whatever he wanted at all times through the first half.  Skiles COMPLETELY smoked Nellie and Stephen Silas last night.  Once Skiles' offensive sets were in for the real game after the break, Jennings handed Curry and the Warriors their collective asses while Ray Ridder and Bob Fitzgerald got the injury excuses ready for the post game slobbering (they seemed fine with an 8 point lead at halftime and Cartier Martin's brief departure certainly didn't change anything).  Jim Barnett is really losing his shit, too.  Rowell and Nelson's bizarro death march has been hardest on him.  The death knells are deafening of late.  This is the end, Jim.  Accept it.  Prepare for life in Florida.

The Warriors had Jennings convinced they were taking him before they took the shitwing he just smoked on the home court.  It apparently pissed him off.  He wins this one hands down.
