We just need Shumpert and Lin to live up to expectations and we should be a top 4 team in the West.

That's conventional wisdom. However, the average player peaks statistically at ages 24 to 25 and gradually goes downhill after that. Our big 3 definitely can have good seasons ahead but they likely will go slightly downhill each year.
The one source of optimism is that we may have Lin available for far more games next year than this year.

that's also conventional wisdom, or at least not well stated. Physical peak versus effectiveness.

As far as I'm aware, no one has provided evidence for some form of overall effectiveness that improves later. (And even if my comment were wrong, I definitely don't see how it could be labelled "conventional wisdom")

Celtics and Spurs are still pretty effective no?

that's because you've never played a team sport outside of a recreational level

then how come you can't connect the very simple dots to figure out that experience, etc would count towards effectiveness? Maybe cause of you very small sample size of playing on a team sport?

Haha - Martin getting a "small sample size" dig in on Bonn!!

Love it!

I never said experience did not count. I never said, for example, that players peak as rookies. (And for that matter, most rookies probably have 10+ years of experience.) The issue here is how much experience is ideal. The reason I can't connect the dots here is that you have not provided any dots. (Or you have provided too small a sample of dots, n = 0.) Provide evidence against my claim and I will connect the dots.

Bonnie, you're a waste of time. Snit away.

My goal in life is to waste your time. I feel like a success now.

dude your humor is like 5th grade level and you connect the dots like an 8th grader. I am still utterly shocked you have a PhD

The irony is that I am the one imploring for evidence.

notice how much evidence you provided in your original claim: none.

You did not ask for any and I did not think in text citations were the norm for this forum! Probably the most thorough analysis on the topic is summarized in pages 126 to 129 of Berri & Schmidt's "Stumbling on Wins."

Your turn to provide or direct me to some evidence.

seriously, you're a ****in idiot

Let's see who is throwing money at Lin at the end of the season. I wouldn't sign him for the full MLE.
