No, just no. They just cannot give us anything that Asik/Casspi doesn't do better. They want to play stretch 4s and outscore us? Play Casspi,...
Yeah, he really can't, his rebounding is bad and we have no weak side help whatsoever if him or Parsons is manning the four with Asik/Howard at 5....
Yeah, that's probably all true and for now we shouldn't be playing these dudes anyway (if not for injuries and foul trouble). However, it tends...
If Smith misses his assignments and D-Mo should be checking Crowder, how is that TJones´fault? You don't have to make **** up to discredit these...
With our perimeter D, coupled with defensively average 4, Dwight alone cannot provide elite rim projection for 36 min and is going to get worn...
There's also the fact that if we want to contend for championship, we absolutely need someone else who can play the five (especially defensively)...
Especially with Garcia's recent shooting, you could make a convincing argument that he should never try to pass that to Omer. For example:...
Asik/Howard duo needs full-strength backcourt which is able to move, move the ball and hit their perimeter shots. Harden was visibly bothered...
It's not a luxury, though. At the moment, it's necessity. We cannot put in D-Mo/Smith/Jones at the 5 and expect to mount a respectable defense.
So, Motiejunas for Amir at the trade deadline? :p
Rockets: "We can't give you the max because we are keeping James Anderson" Dwight: "You can't give me the max because you are keeping...
He will pick them up but what's the point in doing that before the deadline? When discussing potential trades, it might add only 0.0001% to the...
Good post (as usual) although I'm in favor of Asik. You are of course correct on the issue of establishing your style and dictating the tempo....
I voted Asik. Start him and Beverley as long as it works. Our 1-2 punch: Punch 1: Beat them up, shake their confidence and frustrate them...
Dwight Howard is 6'10" in shoes yet his standing reach is 9'3.5" thanks to his massive wingspan of 7'4.5". Omer Asik is 7'0" with a wingspan of...
I agree he is plenty good enough to be our backup 5 (in case O is traded). The question is, is he going to be healthy enough? His injury...
Brewer by far (though it's not really his fault).
He scores well in the post and his interior passing is good/excellent. That's about it. He cannot defend the 5 spot. He cannot anchor a...
Alligator arms. Defensive instincts are not good enough. Not enough bulk for the 5 spot (though this can be possibly improved.) He didn't...
This.
