Casspi has been very disappointing, but when we first signed him I had the feeling he wouldn't have much of an impact. Our bench is very weak.
This really starts to bother me. Don't you ever look at the stats sheets of these players. Casspi makes 0.32 attempts/min, DMo 0.31/min, Parsons 0.35/min, Harden 0.42/min, Garcia 0.27/min, JLin 0,31/min and TJones 0.33/min. Casspi is among the lowest in TOs. Garcia makes 50% more 3pt attempts per game than Casspi (about the same PT). Therefore, Garcia basically never goes to the line compared to Casspi, who goes to the line more than Parsons per minutes played (they are about equal FT% shooters). Where do you get these ideas??
I was cursing McHale for having Casspi out there... I really hope Hamilton's serviceable. Otherwise our wing backups are dreadful.
Stats don't tell all.., casspi usually doesn't touch the ball but when he does he just chucks it. He sucks and I'd love to see him get less playing time. There is a reason why the kings one of the worst teams in the league didn't even want him
If he made 3 of the 5 3pointers the rockets would of won. He needs to be sharper. He gets rebounds but can't keep them in his hands sometimes. I think that and miss shots are a strength issues. Maybe he should ask the guys that carry the machine guns in the idf how they train.
I've pretty much given up on Casspi. He's already starting to get DNPs and his minutes are falling away. I think the rockets like his sister though!
Giving up on him is extreme. On the defensive end and the rebounding he did well. If he made 3 out of 5 3 pointers the rockets would of won. His game needs to be sharper.
DON'T READ THIS you've been warned. Now that you've started reading this a little girl will stalk you and stab you 33 times in your bed tommorow night. The only way to stop this from happening is by giving me rep. I love you fellow clutchfans. Unfortunately, if you've read this then you need to rep me. It'll save your life!
Actually Casspi has 5th most TOVs on the team with only the 7th most minutes played. He also has the 5th(4th w/o Brooks) most TOV per 36 on the team. Howard(3.4), Harden(3.4), Lin(3.2), Brooks (2.6), Asik (2.3), Casspi (2.1), Parsons(1.8). He passes up too many open catch and shoot jumpers to drive to the basket. He needs to emulate 2Pat and Delfino instead of Magic Johnson.
No idea what this video has to do with our discussion. Let me help you out - Perhaps I missed your point, but his one seems more relevant to the point in question: [youtube]dyydvnrPssM[/youtube] Or this one perhaps: [youtube] VHPTnZcN2zU[/youtube]
He's one of the worst players in the NBA. Hamilton sucks, but even he's an upgrade compared to this scrub.
I think that was casspis last straw vs warriors, mchale and Morey wanted to give him one last chance to see if he deserved to be in the rotation. No better way to test him like in a playoff style game like that vs the warriors. I don't expect him to get anymore playing time. think they will give Hamilton a try. Casspi was really blessed basically, went from almost out the league to getting consistent mins on a contending team.
I too think he is done. He has played himself out of the rotation and Garcia is close to the same situation. Very disappointing because of the promise that Garcia showed last season and the occasional made threes by Casspi. Garcia has battled with injuries, but Casspi is without excuse.
