What is going on with Kyle Lowry? He had the one good game recently, but mostly he's been really mediocre lately. He didn't even score a point tonight.
We have been suffering for the past few years for the same reason we did this game. No rim protection, no star = We still can't come close to filling the void left by not having Yao. A defensive roster with a defensive identity is the only thing that can make a starless team a strong contender. Both are not in sight... *sigh* (goes to reopen draft thread..)
Ugly but not surprising. No doubt got issues on "D" but that isnt new. Just perhaps more noticeable when guys like Ryan Anderson and Earl Clark are getting uncontested shots/layups Not sure you can even call it defense. Doesnt get any easier here on out. Destination: Lotto land(?)
1. Patterson looked good... he got good mid-range shots 2. Lowry is really effective from bench. I think he can play fearless when he is a bench player... He is not that good playmaker as we thought.. He is good with fastbreaks and that goes well with the bench. We need brooks back! 3. Scola needs to pick his game up 4. Williams is not as good as people thought as he was. 21 minutes, 1 assist for a guy we were thinking was as good as Lebron in passing. 5. Martin, again, is the best player in the team and most consistent. What happened to our bench? They need lowry back I guess.... Please please please, WE NEED A BLOCKBUSTER TRADE... just whatever it takes to get a Start... Melo, Nash, Paul... or whoever... just get the damn superstar in this team and don't touch Martin please... Martin will be a great compliment to that superstar.
I think I now see your point about Hill not being a real center. Problem is: He's not a real good PF either...
Even if Melo Leaves Morey said he can go in a sign and trade with the team he wants to go to. Morey knows he might leave if he comes here.
Maybe, but all these guys didnt quite "get" the system for quite a while...he'll need some more time to learn.
When did Hill play PF? He's barely logged any minutes there since Hayes went out. The whole love for Hill started WHEN he was playing at PF not Center. I'm not getting into it, because obviously some people just don't like the guy. They have nothing positive EVER to say about him and root for him to fail. So what point is there me wasting time discussing about it?
