    Work in progress in offense no question. Good or very good defender IMHO. I think he is what we need in a game 7 to counter Iggy. It's going to be a slug fest we need our own 6'7" 3 and D players. Shumpert is earning time I think we need to keep playing him.

    He gambled a few times on defense and got burned for it, but he's a playable wing. Provides just enough spacing to allow our Tuckwagon lineup to be out there a few more minutes

    I trust shump more than house that’s Forsure.

    He didn’t play great tonight but hit a 3 and his famous pull up 2 lol.

    But he’s just solid and playable

    That’s what we need plus for the most part he grinds hard and D and doesn’t make many mistakes besides some of his gambles.

    Shumps been hustling. making good plays and bad plays as its part of his nature. seems to be doing well on defense as the warriors backcourt has been relatively quiet. as a 7th man you gotta go with him over house, green and faried at this point. though im not opposed to trying house for a short stretch to give the line up some size since it appears tucker is the only "big" we can rely on this series.

    Lol, you're a feaking idiot if you can't see how bad he's playing. So what if he made a few shots. He gave up plenty because he didn't switch on the screens. The dude completely lost Curry AGAIN in the third quarter. Thankfully Curry missed the wide-open shot. Oh and that missed easy layup, beautiful, just beautiful.

    He had some huge plays for us too on the defensive end, and that midrange jumper he drilled was neeeeeeeeeeded.

    Net positive in this series.

    He is fresh legs. He is a physical body that is not afraid to get physical with curry or thompson. He needs to keep it up. He was not here to be a superstar. He is a role player. But as long as he can not be a complete disaster out there.... giving Chris Paul and Harden time to rest is what will help us in the series in the long run. Beat them up Shumpert. Go full MMA on them.

    Exactly, he lost his man multiple times when he failed to switch.

    I like what Shump is doing, even though his offense has been bad.

    Whenever they get a wide open 3, I always look to see where Shumpert is. He's been atrocious 75% of the playoffs. And at his supposed specialty. Hopefully he unearned the time he theoretically earned in game 3. This 9 man rotation is too much. Shumpert doesn't belong on the court anymore.

    Hey, we've won and he's hustling. If you want to be mad at him playing, be mad at House for playing scared and Green for still not knowing how to defend properly. I did think Green deserved some minutes, but MDA going to that 7 man rotation. Soon you won't see anyone else besides Rivers and Shumpert.

    This.

    The Worriers made a run down 15 to a 4 point deficit until Shumpert made a 2-pointer to stretch our lead back up to 6. It may not seem like much, but boy, we needed that basket badly.

    spending a few years switching with J. R. Smith could get you out of the habit

    You talk like a little b****. Stay off the board if you can’t handle a little criticism of the players.

    My only complaint for him is to stop trying to jump the passing lane. Any inch of daylight that klay/curry/durant see they will launch a 3.
