    Lately Casspi and Garcia haven't been great...but at least Casspi can contribute. When Garcia isn't hitting the 3 (most of this season), he's useless

    It seems as though his home country is supporting him, so he tries to put on a show for them... Considering he doesn't get that many touches, I'm not surprised he chucks it.

    Some of the shots should not have been taken...i agreed. But he's a good shooter...so why not. He should learn to drive more like what Parson did pump faking that literally have opponents losing their pants.

    I care because at least some of his playing time should be going to D-Mo.

    Because if the person hurts the team, it can cause us to lose games. It doesn't matter whether they're paid a lot or not.

    I so miss Patterson. Do we have anybody in the RGV who can be a reliable big man off the bench ?

    he's one of those players you cringe when he puts it on the floor and throws up a floating jumper. thing is, it does go in every now and then. it's a 2-edged sword with him, sometimes he takes a woefully ill-advised shot and sometimes he saves your possession with a surprisingly tough make.

    ideally, morey will pick up a better stretch 4 before the deadline to push casspi further down the rotation.

    Then let's hope improved depth next year makes him the 10th-11th man where he belongs.

    I don't understand the Casspi hate. He's far exceeded my expectations.

    I'm not sure what we would get in return. A Casspi isn't high priority to any GM, so the only way he gets move is with a package deal.

    I think he's looked pretty decent as a slasher. Maybe not as good as Parsons, but he's still not a bad option to throw the ball to when he's cutting to the basket. But he's a pretty good 3-point shooter. If he's getting the ball open on the perimeter, we want him shooting it.

    He's pretty solid for an 8th man, which is what he is when we're healthy, so I'm not worried about him
