Clearing Up Casspi

Benchwarmer · Jul 9, 2013

Honestly, we're putting too many expectations on a guy who might not see the floor much this year. It will break your heart, when Morey decides to waive him for cap space or to bring in another player.
Remember when Shaun Livingston was cut at the beginning of last season for Scott Machado to be 3rd string PG. Even though Livingston was way more experienced ?

The magic number is 15. We can't carry anymore players on our roster, and that includes D-League players under contract.

he moves pretty good without the ball compared to most american players. a good PG could probably find him for a couple of easy buckets a game. the 2nd good thing about him is that he plays much better when it's on a wining team.

Casspi would play for Israel national team. We have a chance to judge before NBA season even starts

I can't believe there are 3 threads and 575 posts discussing Omri ******* Casspi, a bench guy on a minimum contract.

Hi folks. another israeli guy here but no worries I'm not gonna 'leach' on you guys' board or anything ,and I'm not a COF for the simple reason I don't regard the dude highly. Anyway I was just roaming here out of curiosity as to what Rockets fans think of the Casspi's signing, and I noticed the lot of the israeli Casspi cheerleaders jumping on the Houston wagon while spitting lies and disinformation about their sweetheart.

Considering americans have watched Casspi play in the US with their own eyes for the past 4 years, I would think deceiving them about his non existing skills should be impossible.

You don't need me to tell you the guy can't dribble to save his life.

You don't need me to know he may be 'open court' fast, in an obvious type of way, but in a set offence his first step is so slow and clumsy it shouldnt be regarded as a 'first' in anything.

you don't need me to know his shooting declining every years since his rookie season. and that he put of a lot of weight. and not muscle weight filks. just fat. check out pictures of his arms from his early Sac days, and pics from his last season with the Cavs.

You don't need me to know the man can't play defense. not cause he can't, but because he doesnt really feel like it. he'll gamble on the occasional pass and steal the occasional ball, but most of the times he'll just give his man the open lane or the easy jumper. depends on what his opponent prefers. and may i remind you that in most games he played against the other team's bench.

The only thing you might not know is that Casspi persona is perhaps the biggest problem he carries. the guy is convinced he's much better than he really is and has zero self awareness. He always thinks someone else is to blame for his problems and never seem to take responsibility.

In all fairness Casspi does bring a couple of good things to the table. he moves pretty good without the ball compared to most american players. a good PG could probably find him for a couple of easy buckets a game. the 2nd good thing about him is that he plays much better when it's on a wining team.But sadly, if a team plans an even semi-important role for Casspi, that team's not going anywhere.

Anyway I apologize for the long post. hope you guys have a great season. I'm gonna go now and watch The Last Posse with the great Broderick Crawford.
