morris is terrible. he will be traded. His stats look good, but he's doing too many stupid things on the court
Didn't most people hate Delfino a couple weeks ago? Now you all want him to start? It's only 4 games, and both Denver & Blazers are better team.
No to Chandler coming off the bench for Delfino. Parsons is a glue guy and while he has started off bad in scoring so far, he is still a very viable player and can pass. Start Delfino and you will see him chunk up 3 pointers whenever he gets the ball without nearly the same defensive ability. Morris seems to work better playing at the 4 IMO, but the coaches need to stop going to the small line up where you play Parsons at the PF spot when other teams still have bigger or better ones on the floor. Delfino at the 3 is fine but him and Parsons seem to be a bad combination.
Chandler is playing like a better version of Shane Battier. That is, more intangibles and even less tangibles.
I like Chandler starting. He does a lot of things well. He's a better FT shooter than last year. He looks quicker. His 3-pt looks better but he's in a slump like the rest of the team. That said, he'll get out of it pretty quickly. The best thing about him is that he's only been in the league for 1 year!
Haha nice Delfino rocked for us last game, i'm not sure he is the option as a starter though.. He could do it but i feel he's more effective as a sixth man. Maybe its the jolt parsons needs to play with that high energy board crashing mentality he had as a rook. As they say form is temporary but class is eternal. Chandler will be back to his best soon enough
the stats are cute and all, but this is about re-allocating CP. I'm telling you, there is too much clog with Harden, Lin, and CP. Those stats don't tell you about overall team chemistry. But it's only been 4 games so the sample size is too small anyway.
Chandler fit in well with last year's starting lineup because we had two big men with a mid-range as well as two great perimeter shooters in the starting lineup. Is he a better fit in the starting lineup this season? Ideally, we want a good wing defender who can make jump shots on a consistent basis (ex: C. Lee), but we don't have such a player anymore. Chandler can at least defend KD, Kobe, etc.
Get a grip, people. Chandler is only in his second season, early in his second season, with almost the entire damn team traded, released, replaced. Parsons will get his **** together. I don't doubt it for a second. Sure, someone may be good enough to bump him back to a 6th man role, which he would fill rather well, I admit, but that isn't close to happening yet, in my opinion.
You're the one who wants to bench him after 4 games. Why is it suddenly "too small a sample size" when I demonstrate using that same sample size, your own sample size, just how fundamentally and embarrassingly wrong you are about this? I tell you what, let's use all of last season as a sample size, just to humor you. Now we're looking at a sample size that includes every game Chandler Parsons has played in the NBA. You'll note that last season, there were just 37 players in the entire NBA who could match or beat Parsons' production in PPG, RPG, and APG. It's a group that includes almost all of the NBA's all stars and consensus best players in the league. Buh buh...that can't be true because Reasons, right? What are we saying here? "Chemistry...?" "Sample sizes...?" Come on now. Chandler Parsons is a special player and magnitudes better than the summer league scrublords you want to replace him with on paper. You're going to have to just accept that this is the world you live in. The power is inside of you.
The most disappointing thing for me regarding Parsons so far has been his crappy 3 point shooting. TBH, the entire team has sucked in this area. Lin's also shooting at even less than his usual barely, good enough rate last season. If the team even shoots maybe 33% of 3s as a team, we wouldn't be worrying so much about offensive deficiencies.
