Redd, Wade, and Lebron....

[TJ_4_CV31]

....against the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs:

Redd: 27.2 points, 52.4%, 46.7% 3pt., 37 minutes

Lebron: 26.6 points, 44.2%, 27.6% 3pt., 46 minutes

Wade: 26.7 points, 61.7%, 25.05 3pt., 41 minutes


Food for thought Cav fans.


Redd has taken his game to another level. He's proven every year in the league that he'll make great strides as a player. Redd is also an underrated defender.

Haters: Redd is a one dimensional player, he's a jumpshooter.
Redd: Ranked 5th amongst shooting guards in free throw attempts.
Redd: 15th amongst shooting guards in steals
Redd: 12th amonsts shooting guards in rebounds


Haters: Redd is overpaid
Redd: Actual Salary = 12mil Fair Salary = 19mil (82games.com Fair Salary Rankings).

Hughes Actual Salary = 10.3mil Fair Salary = 1.2mil ----> OUCH!

Yeah, Hughes is a better fit. :chuckles:

Redd did do a fantastic job, and did it very efficiantly as well. I still envy that he is on your roster and not ours.

Nice sig btw.

Redd is a very good player. I have never had a drama with him. Out of the three free agent guards last season, Ray Allen was our best fit overall, with Redd and Hughes having different pro's and con's. Redd obviously the superior shooter all over the floor, with hughes the better penetrator defender and playmaker. We needed a bit of everything so it basically is a wash. Hindsight allows us to say redd was healthier giving him the big advantage which is true. I am not at all disappointed with us signing Larry, but he does need to step up further next season. That'll come with him being with the team a full year, something that Redd and Allen have had an advantage of.

And it still couldn't get your superior Bucks out of the first round. Or even the ability to win two games while we won 7. Go home with your stats.

Bucks loose 3-1 in a boring first round game that only fans of both teams watch.
Cavs loose 4-3 in a instant classic series.
Heat win 4-2 in another historic series.

 

[cdt]

This is all he can resort to posting since his team did nothing besides become Detroits punching bag in the first round. All the hype he tried to create around this mediocre .500 team was a waste of his and our time.

So we can now look for an offseason full of statistical scenarios where TJ Ford turned it over less against the Western Conference or some bull$hit.

No one cares about Milwaukee, the Cavs are the better team, it's really not even close. So quit boring us with your Buckish posts.

We all agree Redd is a very solid player. The one stat that is missing is his regret for not signing with the Cavs....with him on our roster, and I think you would agree, we would have been a lock in the ECF for many years to come.

Listening to Reghi call the games all year, he kept talking about the options that were given to us last Summer at SG - Redd, Hughes, Allen and even Johnson. Some were pipe dreams - but he was very persuasive in his arguments that a healthy Hughes is what we needed. I understand it is just announcer talk, justifying the signing as is. But the fact is, Larry was our only option. Johnson was unattainable without losing pieces, Allen for some reason was in love with Seattle, as was Redd with Milwaukee (I think something happened in the process of wooing him....maybe LeBron didn't give him the sell - I thought I read Redd and LeBron didn't even speak during the process - I think that if LeBron had reached out more, Redd may have been ours). That leaves Larry. Not a bad consolation prize - as long as he can stay on the floor.

I think we can all agree that we have been a dominant Eastern Conference team with Redd in our lineup. Snow's weakness in our lineup would have been even further masked with the worry a Redd brings to an opponent. Could have been something to watch.

15th in steals amongst just shooting guards isnt that good man.

Redd didn't even come close to drawing the attention LBJ did in a series... Not to mention, Rip Hamilton was the guy guarding him.

Agreed. In 37 mins per game in the playoffs did Redd get his team involved enough for one win??

I think the King did.

 

[KingJamesMVP]

Redd was amazing in the playoffs, except for game 1..

Too bad the rest of the Bucks really only showed up once

 

[hughes1988]

james 23... u said the pistons and heat game was a historic series??? im not to sure that is possible with pistons were sick... every player should have stayed home and be happy they were able to beat the cavs.... my point is pistons sucked in almost all those games and was awful to watch, unless your a heat fan of corse...

Wrong. Redd was the one and only concern of the Pistons against the Bucks. He was gaurded by Hunter, Billups, Hamilton, Prince, and whoever was on the floor with these individuals at the time. I'll give Mike Brown credit, he learned from the Bucks defensive mistakes. Not doubling the post and switching on the high pick and pop were strategies that I wanted the Bucks to use going in. Too bad they decided to allow the Pistons to shoot uncontested three point shots.

CDT, go clean out your lunchbox. You claimed that the Bucks would be 12th in the east so you were more wrong than anyone. I claimed that the Bucks would be a 5 with the Cavs being a 6. That would make my prediction better than yours. Sit---------------->Down.

 

[cdt]

I was exaggerating since you over exaggerated how good they would be :] you showed up like they were the 72-10 bulls or something. Fact is this is a cavalier board we don't care about milwaukee. Lets bring up another stat games won by redd wade james vs detroit wade: 4
lebron: 3
redd: 1

My man, you must have slept through that Bucks vs Pistons series..

Redd did not draw nowhere near the attention LBJ did.. They didn't play any tilt zones on Redd, they did not trap Redd (with Ben Wallace) at the baseline, they did not come anywhere near Redd at the top circle..(Again, with Ben WALLACE)

Rip Hamilton guarded him for the most part and tries to stay with him, Hunter took over to spell Hamilton, and Prince had him occasionally on the switchout...


Name that Pistons defender (Look at how many times Ben Wallace was out on him... Was Redd being guarded by the DPOY ?

It's not even close..
