He is bringing good energy from the bench and understands that he needs to do more than just hit the 3 pointer. Will become a good player if he could improve his D.
I don't know what's more aggravating. Casspi bringing up the ball or Harden passing it off with 2 seconds on the shot clock?
Seems the opposite of what you're saying, to me. In the majority of games played, he seems to have been stepping it up late in the 4th when the pressure is on. When he gets PT early, not so much.
You are right, he refused to pass the ball to PG and played ISOball, only tried to add up his own numbers, not a team player in recent games.
Extremely small sample size. He shot 100% in Dallas, which pretty much accounts for the significant difference.
Well, 2 games since i posted this thread, and surprise-surprise: Vs Minnesota (home): 16 minutes, 5 points with 2-8 field goals (25%) and 0-0 from the line (didn't even tried); 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. +/-: +8. Vs Memphis (away): 22 minutes, 16 points with 4-6 field goals (66.7%) and 6-6 from the line (100%); 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover. +/-: +11.
Well, CasspiFan, did you read my post (#17)? Sounds familiar? The team was about to sink and nothing seemed to work. That's exactly the moment when Casspi kicks in. He is always the energy player, but nobody pays any attention when the team plays well. Oh, and this was a road game.
Yeah, i agree; but i think it's beyond that - Casspi need to realise that he's a legit Nba player. He's trying too hard. He doesn't need to prove **** to no-one. when he got nothing to lose - he's great, but when he need to 'prove' to those around him - he's.. bad.
you know that he rotted at the King's right? He might be trying to prove that he can still ball and be the player he was expected to be. There isn't anything wrong with that, as long as he does not over do it and do too much. He played really well last night. I just don't like it when he tries to go 1v3 that's all.
