Why did u ride the bench?

“I didn’t think Tyrus worked out for us much”

he was 2-2 in 4 min, 1 rebound, 1 foul

Brought back Hughes and Gray, then the Nuggets went on 18-2 run to close the game. Thank you Larry Hughes for two consecutive wasted possessions, thank you Ben Gordon for dribbling off your leg and thank you defense for failing to guard the simplest screen roll…this was an embarrassing finish to the game, punctuated by allowing Kenyon Martin two offensive rebounds to finish the possession with a three pointer. Terrible.

Remember the preseason promises from VDN about developing players this season? We’re not even two months in and he’s already proving himself to be a big liar.

first, forgive typos and punctuation for Im typin in ny iphone.

Tyrus needs to take a lesson from kenyon martin. Be active, get blocks, and get dunks.

Gordon demanded the ball from rose the play he dribbled it away at the end. Ben cannot drinble well and his passing decisions are terrible.

Noah looks like he just finished a hit off his bong when he plays. Slow, unresponsive, and he flails the ball away with any little bit of contact.

While i like noc’s play in general, tonight was bad. He did manage to draw a charge or two

Gray looked like a decent backup center.

Is it wrong that im starting to want to see hughes out there over gordon. At least hughes wont dribble it away and he attacks the basket better ( gordon flails like noah with contact). Hughes takes bad shots like gordon, but at least hughes doesnt make rose give him the ball to bring it up the floor. Hughes at least looks like he moves to get his shot (which he would never pass up).

Im so glad we went with rose over beasley. I wanted us to take beasley because he would have been a better fit, but rose is definitely the right choice. Now all we need to do is find another team that overvalues our palyers like we do and get them to trade with us.

Lastly, is it me or does the back court of rose and hunter look the best? Hunter defends well , can handle, differs to rose, and can hit the open 3.

was excruciating..lack of rebounding really did us in there..way to go small ball!

too tired, maybe I’ll have something in the morning.

to force make playing time for the tyrus and noah, now since these don’t produce we are only left to fall back using noc and hughes as forwards with fragile deng in his usual position.

Let’s revisit the Ben Wallace 2 Cleveland trade… we get back hughes and simmons, and give up interior D and a real spot scorer (1st pick Joe Smith). Only because we signed Wallace to do things he never did before, but said he could do just after the signing. “I can score” I haven’t forgot Gooden. Who and what is Simmons, is he really worst than tyrus ? how can that be?

Hell. Even PJ Brown.

look in the usa, don’t be ruled by selecting any player you can get who played on a final four team without critically reviewing their skills and complete game. Srubs play on winning teams also.

Watch especially how they perform against key competition, the big game and against other great players. If they fold when on highest spot light, just remember the Adam Morrisons, Tyrus Thomases, and the JJ Redick experients, yet if they hold their own fighting to the end, but the team folds then give then a second look and review their other game situations. Don’t watch highlight reels or agent reels.

Watch the entire game. Don’t discount the smaller conferences which landed players like Scottie Pip and Detroit’s Rodney Stuckey.

Be prejudice, you now have D. Rose..and never again draft a guard your height or slightly taller. What was with drafting “PeeOn”? Don’t sly away
from players with an attitude or tough guys whom you traditionally shy away from. Too many guys now on your team don’t care and have no attitude.

Change your attiude, recognize scoring and offensive talent is a skill and anybody can’t just acquire it by taking 500 jump shots in the off season. That type of person might improve his scoring average from 6 pts to 9 pts per game. But players like Gordon are natural scorers and most all have been doing it since High School, if not before. You really can’t teach offensive stardom as you have stated before.

Keep your eyes open, there is no way you shouldn’t have signed, or traded for Walter Herrmann from Bobcats, when he fell out of favor with that scrub coach who coached the Bobcats last year.

Recognized you have messed up royally, get tough. You’ll have to trade some players who you love, you have been asleep and are wasting time, Man up! Clear some salary space dump thoses over paid backups on your roster. Show case Deng, and don’t be afraid to pull the trigger for a big like Okafor, or even Gerald Wallace. Larry Brown is sometimes crazy, allow Deng to take 30 shots when you play the Bobcats, also give Hughes some good burn during that game also.

and maybe this is a good thing. and gs they went super small and managed to win the game. tonight it backfired…
