MCW cannot see the court ever again. He does not work in this offense. You can't run the type of offense we run with two non shooters in the line up. His defense isn't even good to make up for his shitty offense.
I think you misunderstood my meaning. I never mentioned MCW. I would like to see Melo taking more shots per game, instead of guys who hit and miss like a blindfolded kid swinging at a piñata.
Even Tony Allen got hard to play later in his career as shooting became more important, but he was still a very good defender. He's a far superior defender to MCW, and he couldn't be played. MCW has his ball handling and passing, but his low IQ and inefficient offense means you don't even really want him handling the ball much anyways. I would seriously just cut him early and not waste any more time, try and find someone else that can give proper production .
Rajon Rondo still thinks Houston has 1 bad teammate. This 1 bad teammate who talks, all listens. PS: We did beat a 1st place team
MCW is like if you combined Jeremy Lin’s decision making with Corey Brewer’s control and Josh Smith’s shooting.
Clint showed an improved post up game on offense. This was encouraging. I wish he moved his feet laterally on the perimeter, but this is not a criticism of him. He is forced to defend far away from the basket because of our lack of length. Melo's shooting was great. It was nice to see him posting up. CP was the king out there, and EG played well too. Clark has good defensive potential. Tuck is the ideal teacher for him.
I would love to know "schematically" what changed. Aside from playing harder. What changed in the switches?
Nice win. Still a long, long ways to go but they showed some effort and heart out there, so I'll take it With Harden back, I'd like to see MCW dropped from the rotation.
Have no clue. Team probably won't want to move him yet until Harden is at least back, and then preferably Knight or some replacement just to have ball handlers. I mentioned in another thread, but Gerald Henderson who missed last season with hip surgery that he could have played through (think Isaiah Thomas) might not be a bad plug in guy to hit corner three's, defend and not turn the ball over.
