I mean come on, why is Oscar not starting, you need someone at the 3 spot that can shoot, and right now, Tmo is the WORST of the available 3s. Oscar should be the starter. DaDakota
I dunno man, i think Rudy just likes to do the opposite of the most logical thing. (sorry for sounding dumb, im high) but everything that can happen does too us. fodker
He missed some shots, but overral he played ok. he had 7 rebs and defended Marion well. Thats why I think this sytem really sux. Morris is a slashing type baseline player, but all he does is wait at the 3pt line like Horry,Pippen,Anderson, etc..... Rudy really needs to get some kind of movement along the baseline for him and Griffin so they can get little post ups and short jumpers. I bet you if he had Grant Hill Rudy would have him waiting at the 3pt arc for a pass.
Leeb? He played well? The object of the game is to put the ball in the basket. Tmo shot 1 for 9 from the field and for the year is shooting LESS then 25%. I think he is just not a good shooter, we need someone that can shoot at the 3, since our biggest problem seems to be scoring these days. Torres is better then TMO, I think TMO can be ok, but he has Langhi-Itis....you know...deer in headlights look. DaDakota
It's only Oscar's first game back. I don't think TMo starting was meant to indicate a radical shift in the depth chart. And after this game, I'd be surprised if TMo starts over OT on Friday.
Although I have blamed the system regularly, I think we are being a little unfair. The system calls for the 3 to end up open on the wing. What you do when you are open depends on abilities. Probably the first play of the game Tmo was wide open. He could have shot the ball or take it to the basket. He was at the basket in a flash and although he missed the shot it showed you his speed and athletism which Rice and Williams just cannot provide. He will hit those shots. DADA, he was put in there for his defense. OT last night messed up many time on defense. Give the youngsters some time.
Oscar would have been schooled by Marion. Tmo is our best defender and passer. I thought he played well but didn't shoot real well. He will come around... I say he should keep starting..
