THE PG RANKS THE 20 TOP NBA PGs - THE POINT GUARD Show - Episode 31

THE PG ANNOUNCES FIRST PRE-SEASON RANKING OF THE TOP 20 NBA PGs

On Episode 31 of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program, The PG announced his Pre-Season Rankings of the NBAs top 20 point guards.  He cautions that this is not the final pre-season listing; it will be amended as circumstances dictate up to the final THE POINT GUARD show before the start of the NBA season (to accommodate circumstances such as trades, injuries, etc.).  ThePG insists that this ranking is calculated more as a prediction of performance this coming season, rather than as an indication of past seasons' efforts.

Among the names on last year's Pre-Season list which do not appear on this summer's initial list are:  D-Rose, Devin Harris, Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, and Baron Davis.  With the exception of D-Rose, who is expected to miss most of the year after ACL surgery, these omissions do represent a true "changing of the (point) guard" on the NBA landscape.

1.   Chris Paul
1a  Deron Williams
3.   Rajon Rondo
4.   Russell Westbrook
5.   Steve Nash
6.   Tony Parker
7.   Kyrie Irving
8.   Brandon Jennings
9.   Damien Lilliard
10  Darren Collison
11  Jrue Holliday
12  Ty Lawson
13  Rick Rubio
14  George Hill
15  Goran Drajic
16  Kyle Lowry
17  Mike Conley
18  Stephen Curry
19  Jeremy Lin
20  Raymond Felton

This list will be amended on an on-going basis until the Saturday before the season begins.  Feel free to comment at any time.

THE POINT GUARD - Episode 30 by ThePG On Blog Talk Radio

Here is Episode 30 of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program.  The show features ThePG and Speedy the Point Guard and airs every Saturday evening at 6:30 Eastern Time.

On this episode, The PG goes into a detailed examination of how the recent blockbuster trade sending Dwight Howard to the Lakers will cause ThePG to re-assess his earlier prediction that the D-Will/Joe Johnson backcourt will have more of an impact this coming season than the Nash/Kobe tandem.

THE PG CORRECTLY PREDICTS CHANGES BROUGHT IN BY MARK JACKSON AT GOLDEN STATE

The PG calls another one!

As I posted the previous entry, I ran across this excerpt from an episode of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program (on BLOGTALKRADIO) which aired weeks before the start of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season.  In this episode, Speedy asks The PG what he thought of the (at that time) recent hiring of Mark Jackson to replace Keith Smart as coach of the Golden State Warriors.  The PG's response was ultimately determined to be right on the money, including the forecasting of the moving of Monta Ellis, the insertion of a big off-guard (Klay Thompson) into the lineup and an attempt to bring in a low post presence (which turned out to be Andrew Bogut).  The PG predicted the end of Golden State's entertaining brand of high-scoring basketball as Mark Jackson turns the team to a more traditional style of play.  Lastly, ThePG correctly predicted that these changes would make the Warriors a better team - just not as much fun to watch.

According to YAHOO Sports, Stephen Curry should be 100% totally rehabbed from his ankle injury by the first game of the season on October 31st.  Since Monta Ellis has been moved to Milwaukee (and sense the Warriors are finally starting a big guard at the shooting guard position) The PG figures he will finally get a chance to ascertain to which of the 3 Style of Point Guard Curry belongs.
