Here is my 'favourite' TJ play:

TJ pounds the ball, pounds it some more, drives off a pick and gets trapped on the baseline with nowhere to go. He then makes a difficult pass to a teammate in no position to do anything with the ball. Then, if there is not a turnover, he runs directly to that player and gets the ball back so he can pound it some more. Drives me nuts.

If you haven't noticed this play repeat itself all year then you haven't been paying attention.

And Calderon's stats are hardly inflated. Because he moves the ball around more other guys get assists while Jose is running the show, unlike TJ who keeps the ball in his hands more of the time. And Jose has had to get by with some difficult lineups on the second unit with struggling players like Graham, MoP, FJones, and Hump. Sometimes he is out there with not much offensive help.
