Why is everyone in love with Oscar Torres? I mean really. Each time he is on the floor, I see nothing spectacular. Who in the hell compared him to Glyde? If I was Drexler, I would be offended. Torres can't hit a shot to save his life. Granted he is a much cheaper brick layer than Shandon Anderson, but brick layer nonetheless. I also think his defense is overrated. How many times did Steve Smith score over him (or by him)? Smith is not the fastest engine running. No wonder Cat leads the league in minutes played. Without Cat, we would have 0 productions for the 2 position. And another thing. Get TMO and EG some more f@#$ing playtime! They can not be any worst than Walt and until last night, Rice. Still venting.
I agree. Torres sux. He's quick for someone his height and that is all. No handles, no shot, no intelligence for the game. OK on defense because of the quicks.
Oscar plays his FIRST significant minutes and shoots 0-6, Steve Smith runs past him (hmmmm maybe because he has a LETHAL jumper) yeah you're probably right about not letting his slow ass pass Oscar, but if you were in your first MAJOR NBA game, I'm sure he'd blow by your ass too. It takes time (REAL TIME at that) to learn the different nuances of players so that proactiveness can come into play. I'm sick of these emotional, whiny responses on why we are losing. It takes time to get chemistry. We are 8 games into the season. Do we have to nitpick and throw blame for the next 74 games? That kind of attitude doesn't help ANYONE, albeit I am tired of Kelly in the paint. He's DEFINITELY had long enough. I am past trying to convince myself he'll come around this year. He just doesn't have it in him to be a perennial defensive threat, and surely as hell no offensive threat.
