And when Hughes comes back

VDN will probably start him and be all, “Well, I am going to experiment with the lineup we’ve been running so far this season…” and still keep Hinrich or Gordon on the bench.

Thabo looks more confident and aggressive

which is good but it also seems to have him handling the ball more than I’d like. He’s looking better, though.

Maybe they should start Gray

so it is less likely that he’s paired with Noc in the frontcourt

I don't mind the jumpshots

but those first two were poor. One was him catching after curling off the ball (that he somehow bounced in), and then the other was with a defender right in front of him. Oh, he made sure to pumpfake first :)

Perhaps

and perhaps I’m overreacting (it is only game 4) but I’m close to mentally considering Tyrus to be a bust.

by messwiththebull on Nov 3, 2008 6:50 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i'm sorry

but nobody is telling Tyrus to shoot every time he gets the ball. They pass to him because they are trapping his man and he just shoots. He can pass the ball too. That is part of the offense

by DangerMouse on Nov 3, 2008 6:50 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Sure it is.

But if the guy keeps doing it, it’s time the coach tells him not to. And if he’s incapable of learning, and you want to get the most out of your players, you need to put them where they don’t get consistently get the ball 18-ft from the basket.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m putting the blame on Tyrus, too. Just that, if I have a dog that keeps running out into the street, I put him on a leash.

Not a good result either.

Big difference

Lacher is playing like he’s still not healthy. Deng should never have been considered anything remotely close to a franchise player in the first place. He’s performing as he is.

they're both doing nothing.

Why don't they

keep the lineup in the got us back in the game? I never under stand why they start the 3rd with the people who started the 1st if those are not the guys doing the best in the game. Of course that gets back to my problems with the starting line up in the first place. Blah.

The problem with this lineup is Deng

Put Gordon in there at the 2. Move Thabo to the 3.

Deng has no idea where he is supposed to go and he’s the best offensive player on the court.

Deng is giving us no threat at all against Lewis and Turkoglu. If Bogans is out there things change.

Wait, you want Thabo over Deng at the 3?

You’re even outdoing yourself these days

I want matchup advantages

Pietrus is not threat to take advantage of Gordon. Orlando will keep running their offense.

I want Deng coming in with the second unit when he can really work when we need it. We need Gordon out there NOW to ATTACK JAMEER.

What does Gordon doing in have anything to do with Thabo sliding to the 3?

You can’t keep Deng there? What?

Thabo stops Turkoglu

He’s quick enough to stay with him anywhere on the court.

Is it me or does Vinny rarely ever make substitutions during timeouts?

Nice strategy, Vin!!!!

It's over

I can’t take Tyrus Thomas anymore. He’s stupid. Very stupid. Not just a little stupid, like Drew Gooden stupid, but more like sling-blade stupid. Truly the lowest basketball IQ I’ve ever seen. Now we know why Skiles didn’t play him.

He’s a stone cold, utter moron.

OK

Get Deng out of there. 2nd half rotations against the Magic work this way.

Gooden
Thomas
Thabo
Gordon
Rose

Thabo checks out. Deng checks in. Thomas checks out. Noc chekcs in. Rose checks out. Hinrich checks in. Gooden checks out. Noah checks in.

Gordon must be out there whenever Nelson is on the floor.

what do you know>

Gordon in, offense happens.

Matchups!

Unfortunately

Gordon in, turnovers happen. Gordon in, horrible decision making and shot selection happens. VDN should have taken a timeout after the Lewis FT miss to stop Gordon from being Gordon.

*sigh*

this is gonna be the trend this year

beat all the bad teams (sadly, some of those games will be close)
lose to all the good teams
get embarrassed by the really good teams

Remind me ..

1) why are we happy that Deng was the team’s first priority, signing for 72 million during the summer?
2) Does it seems as if Tyrus thinks in slow motion on the court?

by exult463 on Nov 3, 2008 7:50 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Are there any two starting forwards

who are playing worse than Deng and Thomas right now.
