Against Miami. it was aired on a reasonable time here in Israel. 1. What happened to Lin? it is so sad to see such a talent player sit on the bench and doesn't play much. 2. Beverly can be a great player but most of the time you don't feel him on court. 3. Parsons is a smart player. great defense. do his shots only when really available. 4. Harden is super-hero. such a great player. but- everyone else are looking for the next pass only him thinks different. 5. Howard is a classic #5, you don't see players like him anymore. 6. Jones- Great player under the shadow of Harden and Howard. May blossom on another team as leading star. 7. Casspi- I dont understand why he sits on the bench, especially against Miami where his 3pt were needed. 8. Garcia- Like #7 9. Asik- The guy was like a zombie, maybe he needs to trade to a different team to show his skills. 10. Hamilton/Donatas- Sorry, I dont see how come they are before Casspi or Garcia. Again, this is my impression from one game only.
Forgot to say this- We have a team that can win the championship. But only if the players will step up their current performance.
If you'd have watched the games, you'd know that Casspi and Garcia are only consistent at one thing.....being bad. Lin doesn't bring the defense to be a starting point guard in the NBA, but as a 6th man, his skill-set is perfect. Asik is working his way back into shape.
Bro, you talked too early. Watch more games before posting next time. Other than that, glad you had fun watching that lost.
1. Lin does play a lot. Probably about 30 minutes a game. That's almost as much as a starter. 2. You definitely feel Beverley on defense. He's always playing aggressive D. 3. Parsons is capable of playing good D when he wants. But a lot of times he's just average on defense. 4. Harden is one of the few players on the team that is allowed to go 1 on 1 vs. the defender. That's why others seem to be looking to pass except for him. 5. Howard isn't exactly a classic 5 because he's somewhat undersized and is skilled in the pick and roll. 6. Jones is an okay player. No way I see him being a star anywhere, though. 7. Casspi hasn't been playing well lately. He was much better earlier in the season. 8. Same with Garcia. He was shooting terribly, and got benched. 9. Asik is getting back from missing 2 months with an injury. He's playing catch-up right now. 10. Hamilton was playing well and making 3's. D-Mo has been playing a lot better recently.
This! The way Casspi/Garcia have been struggling I'm very glad to see DMo/Hamilton getting their playing time.
1. What happened to Lin? it is so sad to see such a talent player sit on the bench and doesn't play much. Lin is Linconsistent. When he is playing good, he can be pretty darn good. When he is bad, oh god he is bad... 2. Beverly can be a great player but most of the time you don't feel him on court. You need to watch more games. Beverley's D is felt every time he is on the court. 3. Parsons is a smart player. great defense. do his shots only when really available. Great D? No. As Parsons has worked to expand his offensive game, his D has gradually regressed due to the fact that he doesn't have enough energy to go around. Recently his shot has been a bit iffy as well. 4. Harden is super-hero. such a great player. but- everyone else are looking for the next pass only him thinks different. Our offense really starts and ends with Harden, especially in the 4th. I would like to see a lot more off the ball movement from other players as opposed to watching him try and break down opponents 1v1. 5. Howard is a classic #5, you don't see players like him anymore. He is NOT a classic 5. He is smaller than most C and lacks a stable post presence. He is best described as an athletic big man that relies on athleticism to beat his man. 6. Jones- Great player under the shadow of Harden and Howard. May blossom on another team as leading star. ...No, just no. 7. Casspi- I dont understand why he sits on the bench, especially against Miami where his 3pt were needed. He sits on the bench because he has been sucking it up for more of the season now. He started off hot, but has cooled back down to near Cav uselessness. 8. Garcia- Like #7 Until recently, it is arguable if he even deserves his vet min contract. 9. Asik- The guy was like a zombie, maybe he needs to trade to a different team to show his skills. Just curious, what do you expect out of a guy who basically hasn't played a minute until now, especially considering he always played a very grounded game? 10. Hamilton/Donatas- Sorry, I dont see how come they are before Casspi or Garcia. Easy, because they are better. Casspi and Garcia have played like hot garbage for most of the decision. It can be argued that they don't even deserve their vet min pay.
For those of you who got insulted by my first game experience, it was only one game. Nothing special. If time permits I will watch more games as I enjoyed it. Cheers
Nice. Now just tell us how to say trade Lin in Hebrew so God can hear us a little better in case something is being lost in translation with the prayers.
