Which is why I would have put him in Game 3 when I already anticipated a loss (not a blowout). Also, I did say "when shooting." His issue lately hasn't been not hitting them, it's not even taking them! That's a no-no in D'antonio's system. But we need to build his confidence up because he does help this team tremendously when playing well. And his shooting woes at home is why I wanted to play him in those road games more.
I think we definitely need to spend a good amount of our offense actively removing draymond from the paint. He's doing a really good job of covering both Clint and challenging the driver. Playing the death lineup does that automatically but its possible to force him into switching onto a perimeter threat when Clint is in the game too.
Wanted a smaller line up since the start so people know where I stand, n I always preference it by saying I love Clint, but small gives us a better chance. N on another note, man I can't beleive we can't get Clint the ball on those switches down low. I would think that's a form of iso too. Get the switch on a guard. Throw it down low quick n see.what Clint could do. I think he has it in him if we think outside the box he's a 7 footer with touch around the rim he should b3 able to do something if we instill that in him then I would have a problem with him starting, cause really he is giving u nothing on offense.
Nope. You do not mess with a player's rhythm this late in the season. Everybody is used to their roles. Keep it that way, and make adjustments in the game as needed. Who gives a **** about trading Ryan Anderson right now? The Rockets are literally putting everything they have into this series, and this series alone.
Again. This is why I wanted to see him in Game 3. He played in Game 1 but didn't shoot. I'm only advocating for his use situationally. If Luc isn't finishing and D'antoni wants to play 8 instead of 7 -- I'd try him out over the next guy. I believe our offense is suffering without his skill set. Morey. Posters who can simultaneously think and multi-task? Win or lose this series we have to understand that this Warriors team will be around a while and if we aren't using Anderson, it's wasting 20 mil we could be spending creating a the gap between us and the Warriors.
i don't think caplet's impact has been contained. just his box score. he can't get any more alleys since they shut down the PnR. but the threat of the alley is there so long as he's standing short corner to the basket. that pulls their 5 man away from protecting the rim against harden's drives. on defense he's our only rim protector and our best rebounder. we gave up 16 Orebs last game. it would be more without clint. he's also not our worst switch onto a durant 1 on 1. i'd keep it the way it is. like MDA said. we just need to do what we do. the only change i'd make is switching luc for gerald if he were healthy. too bad he's not.
Clint is doing a wonderful job. It's crazy how he was basically unplayable defensively the last couple years, but he has now massacred Towns & Gobert, and is battling his ass off against arguably the greatest team to ever play. A team that plays small-ball 99 percent of the time. That finish last game, along with his 4-5 free throws. Lordy, I am sure glad we don't have F'ing Nerlens Noel. LMAO...
