Because our role-players are worse. You got a problem when Chuck Hayes is trying to score. This why Melo didn't want to come here, he new our team sucked.
Yeah where was Lee??? I can't believe Budinger played more minutes the way he was playing. I also though Hill deserved more PT. Much better D in comparison to Scola/Miller and it would have helped our rebounding a lot.
How is playing badly for 5 games not a good excuse? Even the lakers can play badly for 5 games. That's not enough to say this team will still be this bad with them in the lineup for a whole season.
2 in a row? im guessing you weren't a fan to begin with. you can be mad at the team but threatening to not be a fan anymore is, well, silly.
Hill does nothing either. The best stretch in recent games is Lowry/Battier/Martin/Scola/Hayes in 3rd quarters. Mill + Scola = no inside defense and no inside rebounding. Scola + Miller only had 10 rebounds combined in 76 minutes of play. Raptors got a lot more shots than Rockets. Samething happened last game.
Too many one-dimensional players on this team (Bud, Miller, Scola, Martin, Brooks, Battier, and Hayes) and that needs to change. If players can't play consistent defense, the coach needs to do what JVG used to do. Adelman needs to sit their a$$es down.
We are losing anyway, why not play Hill? What the hell do we have to lose? We are already losing every game. Play HILL ....and Ish.....give our starters a break. DD
I'm amazed at how shocked some of you are. No Yao and No Brooks. At this point with those two we aren't winning at title. With them missing it is going to be ugly period. Carl Landry and Trevor Ariza damn sure wouldn't change that.
Actually, we lost to the Craptors last year in Toronto during that Saturday 11 AM game, remember? That was with C-Landry. I doubt C-Landry would've put up 31 points tonight like K-Mart did. (Keep in mind that I love CL. His remains the only jersey I've ever bought of any kind in the NBA or NFL. And I'm a pretty old dude, so that's sayin' something.)
Adelman needs to go to his bench more especially near end of 3rd quarters. He is over reliant on his starters. Its clear that most of them were dead tired down the stretch. They should try and go to scola more. Martin played horrible as usual in the 4th. This team just needs Yao and Brooks asap.
RA has started to show some rust. The Princeton offense or whatever was for the 90s, and now defense wins. Wonder how things would be had we not fired JVG...
Scola was on the perimeter guarding Bagnani all game...Miller is just playing cowardly down there.... Ole defense. DD
