Rox up 3 they take out their ONLY player who can create late in AB, and they go on to lose...coincidence....nope..... They did not have a single guy who could create a good shot for himself on the floor and the Grizz took advantage. AB......got to play AB late....period. DD
I support AB always, but god.. he lost us this game... He was in whole 4th quarter from start to 3 minute mark and he played just crap all the way. Then he came back in final minute and missed the shot.
This is another one on Adelman. His substitution patterns and time outs are ALWAYS suspect, but tonight they were just stupid. Wrong players, wrong times, main scorers on the bench while your subs get torched, just crazy. Yes, the Grizz turned up the defensive heat in the second half, but Adelman loses the lead, leaves an ineffective mix in too long, then when they finally score, he calls timeout and pulls them out. Too late. Oh well.
Brooks could be @ 30 ppg but he like the rest of the rox are nonexistent in the 4th. I hate being where we are, I'd rather be terrible than avg. Were all fans here but were a long long way away from being a championship team.
The Rox were winning by 3 when he went out...and Lowry came back and the Grizz go on a 6 point run...and the Rox got ZERO good looks. Look, AB was not great, but he is the ONLY guy that can create a good shot for himself and for others...... You have to have him on the floor in close games, Period.....play him and Kyle together if you have to....but you can not take him out..... DD
One other thing...our starters defense SUCKED BALLS...sure they were scoring, but they were not stopping anyone..... Why not score and play D? 115 is inexcusable.....they shot more than 50%...of course the Rox are going to lose. DD
I knew it. As soon as they called Chuck Hayes for that BS foul in the 4th we would lose... I guess the Griz were just do for a win.
This team is dumb and never learns their lesson. Letting Aldridge murder us in the paint at the end of a game...letting Millsap do the same...now letting Randolph. WTF! If the player who's guarding them isn't working, freaking try someone else! Or somebody else come over for some help defense! Something! Gahhh!!! And holy crap, I can't believe anyone who would say AB should have closed out the entire rest of the game! 2-10, 3 TO's! Damn Adelman for not playing that hot hand even longer! Lolllll.
Agreed. Don't get me wrong! I love Brooks, but he was pathetic tonight. As soon as he came, both times, team started struggling. He kept ball in his hands for 20 seconds and with 4 seconds to go, he passed it to a person who is not even close to open. He just hurts this team when he is not playing with effort and not making his shots... today, he was shooting terrible and then his effort was literally zero. Plus, when Lowry made a good play, everyone on the bench was jumping, and Brooks was disappointed? Seems like he got issues right now. Guy has so much talent but is wasting it all nowadays.
I guess you have a point there. In fact I wouldnt mind since we have so many problems scoring late in games to keep leads for the lineup to be an all scoring team. Hayes Scola Martin Lowry Brooks.
wow @ your man crush on AB. Why can't you admit that the player you like so much played horrible tonight? or is it that any player that DD supports can do no wrong? AB was just plain horrible, from his ill advised rushed 3 to end the third and non existance in the 4th.
I agree AB should be on the floor, but really that's by default there is no one else. By creating his own shot u mean that step back three that is beyond obvious he's taking. I'm venting, he really needs to attack the basket more esp on nights like this when his shot is off.
I don't care what sucked in starters, they gave us lead both times. It was the bench who blew it apart.
I mean we certainly cant ever play enough defense to keep them from catching up? So why not just outscore them like in the first quarter? Early fourth quarter play defense. Late inthe fourth if we cant score? Insert outscoring other team squad. Whoever is hot late.
It was not his best game, I said that...but he has to be on the floor in a close game, we have no one else ..... Actually, both our PGs were horrible...was Lowry even there on defense? Mike Conley was wearing Lowry earrings he felt so comfortable out there. DD
You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Were you too busy masturbating to Brooks pictures that you didn't see the game or caused you to go blind? Brooks didn't create crap for himself not anyone. He lost the game!!! He was 2 for 10 in 23 minutes with only 9 points. Brooks sucks.
Here is the thing.....when you set a screen for him it is 100% the wrong thing to do....it creates a problem. Let him beat his man on the dribble force the D to rotate and let him pass to an open spot..... Either way, both our PGs were gawd awful tonight. DD
It wasn't just the starters defense that was bad. The bench really just let them have anything they wanted, outside and inside. Brooks wasn't going after anyone, Chase was constantly getting beat; although he did go after some big rebounds late in the game, and then Jordan Hill was a no-show as soon as Randolph started posting him up. I was all on the Jordan Hill bandwagon and really wanted to see him play more, but the more I see of him the more I realize he is complete and utter garbage... real talk.
