    ....with Matt Bullard and Thomas Hamilton starting. These two guys are the slowest guys in the NBA. These guys would get 0min playing time on any other team.

    I believe in starting your five best players.
     
  2. I was about to post the EXACT same thing.
    Tell me how Cato, coming off of a Career
    high in points and grabbing 12 boards
    see's zero minutes?

    Am I the only one who realizes that with
    this team Bullard is absolutely useless?
    Is ANYONE going to double Hamilton giving
    Bullard open set 3's?

    Also having your fowards stand around
    waiting for the Kick out off of the
    double (thats never going to come) is a
    killer on your boards.

    Its useless to start Hamilton and
    Bullard. They can't even be percieved as
    the best at their position, even with all
    the injuries the Rox have seen.

    I don't mind Bullard, although Mack would be better. However, I hate Thomas Hamilton.

    He is too slow and frankly too fat to play. He never hustles, and I thought the idea was to fast break...PUHHHLLLEEEAAASSSEE !!!

    He is just a traveling lane clog, and with our penetrating guards, not what this team needs.

    I am in total agreement.Cato should be out there and so should CAT.This kind of BS is costing us games.Why was that ineffective lineup of Thomas,Hamilton,Drew,Bullard,and Mobely out there in the second half...it went something like that anyway.This is one person's responsibility.....and I know we don't have Dream or Chuck to ride home in the fourth quarter anymore but gosh!Give the team the best oppurtunity to win damnit!We don't have any margin for error.

    Of course, we lose to one of the best teams in the West, must be someone's fault!

    Wide open threes don't only come off doubling the post.....there's also such a thing as PENETRATION. Just ask John Paxson and Steve Kerr.

    yeah Freak. Good comment.

    Plus, Cato says he likes coming off the bench. I think he plays better when he comes off the bench. When Hakeem comes back, we can start him, but until then, we have to start THamm.

    I gotta admit that Bullard is pretty useless. He got blocked by Sabonis one time. He can't drive or shoot off the dribble. Plus he plays crappy defense. I don't know. I wish Wizard would come out of his freaking slump. I would much rather have Wizard playing than Matt.
     
  7. Guess your teams offense better be predicated on penetration in order for that to work, Freak.

    And in case your watching Rox games...

    No clear out iso's on the wing arent exactly the type of penetration Bullard needs to get his shots.

    But hey, how many shots did Bullard attempt this game??????
