Summer League Game 2 vs Wizards: Tipoff @ ~ 9:15pm

i would rather keep Lamb..


D-Mo's skillset is good but not that hard to find, Channing Frye( im not saying D-Mo is gonna end up like him). But they play alike

Lamb is very rare.. he is unphased by the moment, doesnt trash talk. Although i kinda saw him have a few words with Steven Gray( which was just competitive chit-chat, because Gray smiled after he said it)

Lamb reminds me of the ultimate all-star , he has so many moves, HARD WORKER. And is humble( i was so impressed with his interview at halftime.. when asked about taking Chandler Parsons minutes.. he simply said, im just trying to get better and help out our team right now).

 

I will say this... in this game we looked bad.... "not on the same page at all"... "very piecemeal at best"..

I saw players work hard and try to work hard but this game as not well thought out at all. What was the game plan?? And if there was one... Why in the heck did we not adjust... Could it be a coaching thing??? Buy in or you will not Fit!! type of thing??

I'm pissed at what i saw tonight because we could have won this game and fans could know what we have in players..


zzpot.... i'm pissed

 

the funny think about that is that was just summer league ...LOL

 

I see what you did there.

 

Hello r****d!!!... let me fix your pimp hat before you get jacked up driving down Fondren late at night.

D-Mo is the guy... If Lamb can't pass the ball to a BIG man or any Big man.. "D-Mo" down low when he has space and position, then guess what.. Lamb is dead in the water.. he is a "lame duck"

You did not watch the game or you are on the wrong side of the ball..

I will stick to my Hello to you.. Even though it is harsh at best, and below me... and you... at worst... Let us both have better days! and Nights!! posting to each other.

zzpot.. And this time I win!!!!!:grin:

 

No having Parsons on the floor tonight really killed our ball movement and made it tough for D-Mo to get the ball in good spots.

 

Spot on.. the Big men run the floor and Gain advantage.... the people that have the ball don't feed the post at the right time...

It's like having the rug pulled out from your feet!! And it kills your offensive game plan and steals your rebounding game!!


zzpot.

 

From what I saw, dmo wasnt assertive. That system is one on one and is making it worse for him. I didn't see him get in good position but he did fling his hand in nanoseconds when he wanted the ball. I'm not just blaming him but the coaching for not setting any inside plays or anything. Not surprised at all, back where we left off.

 

I will back you up on this ... With Robert Horry.... The man could feed the ball into the post.
It seem like that part of the game is a lost art!! All old school Rox fans know that Horry was passing the ball the Hakeem... Horry did it all over the NBA!!

He spread the floor..passed into the post and ran the floor... Lots of rings on his fingers.

Lamb may have those Go GO Gadget arms... But if he will .. or can't feed a low post player the ball like Horry used to do for the Rockets to Hakeem or who-ever... Then..I will now Digress

All this comparing and bust talk is tiresome and its only the 2nd summer league game. The only thing we saw was that we lack a pg on the summer league team and D-MO didn't follow up his good game an became frustrated. Oh and Lamb can shoot.

Slow down folks. None of the draft picks are anywhere near busts. Lots of Royce talk. Hes not used to playing off the ball. It will take time. I cant to see how some of you people react when Lamb goes cold or gets locked down.

 

FIXED

 

I know it's just the summer league, but the defense played by our frontcourt was troubling. The combination of D-Mo and White was not working at all. Their games don't look like they'd mesh well together, and I thought D-Mo especially looked lackluster on defense.

If we don't land Asik or Howard or both, this could be a long season.

 

Lamb is a better all-around player than D-Mo no question about it. I was unsure about the first game i saw Lamb play( thinking he could be another Donte Green). But now im sure this kid will be a star( his halftime interview where he mentioned how important Parsons was) and that he is not thinking about minutes, but trying to get better and help his team win( just lets me know his intangibles are off the charts.. and that he is a HARD WORKER)

 

Believe it or not.. Jeremy Lamb just outplayed the "so called" 1st and 2nd best SG's in this year draft. his turnovers were high, but thats because he had to bring the ball up the court, and he did pretty good( for a player who is not used to doing that)

Lamb proved to me that he is a competitor that wants to be the best, he outplayed Beal and Ross, playing outstanding D on them in both games

He plays man on man so well, that the ballhandler is forced to push off of him, which leads to offensive fouls. And he does not flop or sell it

Jeremy Lamb could be a prototype player.. similar to what Parsons was last year. These dumb comparisons for Parsons( like Luke Walton) are simply because they have never seen a player like Parsons before, so they just give him any random player

 

Lin, Lamb, Parsons, and Dwight is a nice lineup

 

I agree... Lamb can shoot... drive.. to the lane ... he has to keep his head up also. He has not made a lot of good passes, not sure he has made any... off his drive to the LOW post man or to a back door cutter or to a spot up three point shooter that I have seem?? That is a HUGE problem!!

I like the young man but he has to eyeball the people he plays with... Also people were talking about his on court demeanor or "Body Language"... He has good to better than others body language.... Right now it is his team play.... dissing the ball to people.

And yes Lamb is a 2 guard but he has the ball in his hands a lot right now..

Horry was a SF... 2 Guard... he feed the post... passed the ball to the big men down low and cut to the basket... Lamb is not Horry, but he could learn to be... maybe... he is young .. but right now he needs to start getting his head into the game... JUST LOOK UP AND PASS THE BALL... or drive and pass.. or drive all the way... Or stop and pop.. Lamb has skills to kill... just don't kill the Rox's by not using your skills young man!

ok.. we can both go with that... great post friend..

stay cool

Morris has a lot of developing to do. He showed tonight he's a one trick pony. Looking to score, but missed a lot of key passes that could have led to easy buckets. I know it's early, but I'd rather see Parsons, Lamb, Jones & White split minutes at the wing over Morris. They show more play-making abilities along with the ability to score.

I'm not taking up D-Mo, but I think he was a little frustrated because he had a great first game, and hardly touched the ball this game.... which took him OUT of his game

 

I like that Morris played well, but i didnt like some of the times he was forcing up shots in a crowd instead of passing out to wide open guys on the perimeter. I even saw Morris called a for a offensive 3 second violation.

Morris was trying to "get his" so to speak tonight, and i dont like that type of player honestly. Zoran played well, and he reminds of Shane Battier with his D, not sure how good of a shooter he is, but i wouldnt mind having him on the preseason roster. Fortson has to GOOO

BTW the Wizards have a nice future, and once the amnesty Blatche they will have nice guys and leaders like NeNe and Emeka who will teach the young guys like Jan Vesely, and Seraphin what it takes to win, also that PG/SG from the Czech Republic for the Wizards will be a nice player in the NBA, he reminds me of Gogi

 

Coaching and game plan... what was it?
