Terrence Williams PR Department (AKA STOP TWEETING)

Brad Miller's contract was his worst move, IMO.

Williams is a 2nd-year player likely looking at a fresh start next season after Rick the Ruler calls it quits. He still has plenty of time to right the ship, but he needs to start by getting his mind right.

 

How is it a waste of pick already? Yes he's tweeting out of his anus but do any of you recall someone being traded just because they tweet non-sense? I sure don't.

This guy has barely been here for over a month and he'll be here for longer so relax and let him go thru whatever growing pains come. He'll be alright and same goes for us.

 

I never said it was a waste of a pick, i was more criticizing Morey for what i believe has been his worst move so far. At the time we traded for him we had Battier, Bud, and Lee in the rotation, so trading for him added nothing but unnecessary depth to an already deep position.

He's been here barely over a month? We traded for him in the middle of December.

 

Yeah, never was on the Free T-Will bandwagon. God, he's athletic, and he's got talent, but jesus he's an idiot.

We criticize Brad enough when he does that weird-ass drive thing of his, and we pretty much dumped Brooks because he kept doing stupid crap on offense. If you do stupid crap on offense, but you can get away with it, then I think Rick doesn't have that much of a problem with it - for example, healthy T-Mac is possibly the worst person possible for an Adelman offense, but he had enough talent and smarts to get away with it.

T-Will hasn't shown that at all. If the 3's that he keeps taking were going in, they would be "Those are stupid shots, but they're going in." But they aren't going in.

 

Enough of 'learning the offense' theory. Does Dragic know the offense? He hasn't had one practice yet and he's been logging minutes. Hell it took our current guys a couple seasons to completely learn the offense. I'm not going to complain because we're still in the playoff hunt but Rick does have interesting rotation patterns. Not just with TWill, but he's always made questionable subs. Quite a few this year.

But yea, he's horrible when he tweets. Look at this picture he tweeted of Chase when he was sleeping. He should have been practicing jump shots (on the plane) instead of tweeting pics.

@TheRealTWill Starting sf for the rockets my guy chase gotta get them zzzzzz's

This team isn't good enough not to be playing and developing Twill plus Thabeet.

 

Practicing with the team is different than real game time. Im guessing most people will agree with me on this one. has it ever occurred to you that his inconsistent playtime or complete lack there of, may make him look a bit rusty and out of tune?

You are making a huge assumption that Rick will be back next year. If he is back, then great. But if he is not back, then we are back to square one. We will have had an asset miss out on half a season of development.

 

The problem with him being on Twitter is that eventually he's going to say something that hurts his chances with the team, even if it's just something misinterpreted by others. He's a basketball player, not some wordsmith who gets paid for his opinions. He's also an employee commenting about his job for all the world to hear -- not a good idea for anyone. It's just not a smart career move for him to be tweeting. It's self-indulgent and it will end up costing him. Nothing good can come of it. If he's smart, he'll be humble, keep his nose to the grindstone and make the most of an opportunity when it comes his way.

 

i've only caught snippets of williams in games but it seems like he was much more stationary than the other players... as if he was camped out on the 3 point line to either shoot one (not his game) or iso from there. if he would start mimicking courtney lee it would be great - play energetic defense and on offense, run behind screens and when he gets the ball penetrate and either finish at the rim or pass off. less iso and jumpshots, much more slashing. live at the rim.

even chase is getting easy layups with rick's offense - if twill ever gets it he will raise hell.

 

Melting down? Y'all guys are sensitive. Let him vent online. Much better than him doing something on the bench, which he doesnt. He's always cheering and encouraging the players on the court.

 

Really worried about T-Will, Adelman has ZERO confidence in the guy and if he didn't play T-Will last night when all the starters were completely wasted, I doubt he will be back in the rotation anytime soon. The guy is about ready to explode, not saying that is an excuse to play him but this could get ugly or might have already gotten there.

 

Lol...Rick the Ruler. I think it's a good thing Rick the Ruler is getting Terrence the Tweeting Terrorist in line.

Bad shots and out of control play aren't acceptable.

 

I would love for Twill to get some more PT than he is...but i get the impression when he is on the court that he thinks he is too cool or way more talented than the others to try hard.

I couldn't see him diving/hustling for loose balls/rebounds...but again this is just my take on a small sample.

 

Last night had nothing to do with developing T-Will. The starters were dog tired from being run into the ground in Portland the night before, which by the way was a bad basketball move by Adelman. They were up by 15 most of the second half in Portland. There was no reason at all to play most of the starters 40+ minutes in that game. Last night had to do about giving those guys 5 to 10 minutes of rest while T-WILL and Lee played defense to keep the Clippers at bay until the starters were able to come back. Last night Lowry fouled a tthree point shooter. Will he be sat out the next game too?? Williams has taken 3 shots in each of the games that he has played since the break. Not a big deal considering the amount of shots taken and missed by Scola last night because of exhaustion. Princeton offense or not, it was a bad idea to play the starters so much in the Portland game.

 

I figured on the second night of a back-to-back that Williams would've gotten some run, so I was surprised not to see him out there.

I guess Adelman wasn't pleased with his 5 minutes of action against Portland, because I thought it was weird that he didn't get back into that game when it was out of reach.

I can understand why Adelman isn't completely comfortable giving him big minutes if he thinks the team is in position to snag one of those final playoff spots, and you'd think Williams would get that, too.

Williams' body language is usually good off the bench, but last night it was not. There was one timeout in which he didn't even stand up off the bench, another where Thabeet had to drag him up, and he still stood right next to his seat as the rest of the team huddled late in the game.

Clearly pouting.

 

This.

I'd be mighty depressed if I considered myself a potential NBA starter and then I didn't see any PT at all during the second night of a back-to-back when my teammates are struggling against the CLIPPERS.

Totally understandable. Who cares if he tweets it instead of calling his BFF to complain over the phone?

 

He deleted couple of his tweets. The ones that said about jumping off a bridge and the grass isnt always greener. This dude is turning into a head case and so dramatic after every game he doesnt get any playing time. All he cares about is himself.
