Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5006850, member: 1414"] Magic was a unicorn. Penny was essentially ahead of his time. An early big scoring PG/wing facilitator. I don't think the PG position has been a significant part of the issue in Boston's struggles in some post season games. The problem has been reliable inside scoring from bigs, which is why they went and got Porzingis. When JB and JT force things, it's not because there isn't a PG around, usually there are two (White and Holloway now, Smart and White last year) it's because the only big is Al who is standing on the 3 point line (or Williams last year who could really only score on lobs). I'm not saying nobody is playing point guard, just there is almost nobody who gets the ball in the backcourt and brings it up 99% of the time, then looks over the D up top while directing people and deciding how to attack the D. John Stockton, Isaiah Thomas, those kinds of players. Most teams use multiple guys to bring it up and initiate the offense. [/QUOTE]
