What? When Budinger was actually shooting at a decent clip? Yeah, when Budinger is on-target I like him a lot more and I still think he has potential to be better, so his crappy defense frustrates the hell out of me. And I do think that shooters need to shoot out of slumps, hence me hoping JT gets more minutes from no-D Martin foremost.
IF Martin don't draw foul on the court， what's the difference between Taylor and him？ what's more he didn't play D
Or maybe JT could EARN some playing time by showing something in practice or in those few times when he does get minutes.
So you decide to give minutes to the guy who, to this point, has earned only the last spot on the bench? Hell, why not just sign Adam Morrison? He's shown he's TOTALLY unworthy of playing time in the NBA.
If we hadn't acquired C-Lee and kept Ariza for the 3 spot i feel we would be a lot better off right now. If JT backed up martin at 2 and we had moved on Battier so we had bud and trevor at SF we would at least be 2-3 wins better off. at least on a bad shooting day trevor would go 2-8 from the 3 point line and defend a little, now battier has declined so bad that he doesn't defend well and shoots 1-9 0-6 from 3pt line regularly. Not saying we would be contending or anything, btu it would be slightly less depressing to watch us play.
Did DD just say we should play Taylor?!? Kidding but I agree give him a real shot and if he fails o well another loss. But If he does good u have another offensive player that can come of your bench & do a solid job defending Just play him RA so we can stop wondering what could of been
Our defense is not getting any better so we might as well try to get the offense going. We did not just quit in 4th qt, we quit playing offense the entire second half. Give JT a shot and bring Pat back from exile. At this stage of the game what the heck.
I don't think he will make a hill of beans difference on offense, he will hurt us...but on defense he helps. At this point...we are losing anyway.....so go ahead. DD
If JT had his **** staight, he would be perfect for the team right now. Is it really that hard to play team ball??
Maybe it would help to put him on the floor with Battier and Miller to try and keep his head in the game. He needs seasoned vets on the floor with him to coach him a bit.
While Yao and AB are out we might as well find out what we have sitting on our bench and at the Vipers.
