No doubt, Wafer fades somewhat after TMac and Artest's return; HOWEVER, I hope Adelman doesn't bury him on the bench. He has become a fan favorite. He brings a much needed dose of athleticism. He has proved that he can be clutch and he can definitely light it up. I have really enjoyed watching him and a full scale return to UglyBall is an unacceptale option. As a fan, I am tired of mud wrestling. I love to see fast breaks and crisp ball movement. Please end isomania.
i really wanna take out luther head. i mean, wafer is basically replacing him. we get a young back up guard who can attack the basket and can actually shoot the ball. he works very hard and plays with so much passion out there
i agree. i mean brooks started off the year exploding but now he's not able to actually stay the same. eventually wafer is gonna cool off and that's why wafer being off the bench is a good thing
Tmac is a proven all star and we all know what he is capable of, i say we give him the start and have Wafer come off the bench for 15 - 20 minutes a night, Barry's minutes will have to be sacrificed or he can be a situational player, although he has been playing well also. If Tmac slacks or is still unproductive, we dont let it go on for more than 3 games or so before Wafer becomes starting point gaurd again..
here's a crazy idea that might just work: let Tracy earn his way back into the starting line up then we'll worry about Wafer
he is a simple solution Play wafer for the 1st half ans Tmac for the second. Its already proven that Wafer explodes in the 1st half usually due to the team not knowing who he is maybe? Maybe due to him not being used to starter minutes. I dont know the reason but just play him in the 1st half. Let Tmac work his way back up in the second half.
I say keep him as a starter and T-Mac can come off the bench for the good of the team. The ball moves better without him on the floor with Yao at the same time. If he and Yao had any kind of pick n roll they could run consistently then I would put him to start but they don't and given the fact he has been here four years and they have never developed one makes me think its not going to happen. Its not that I think he is selfish but the reality is he needs the ball in his hands to be effective and so does Yao. That is a bad combo to put out there in my opinion. If T-Mac can swallow his ego then so be it. If he comes out and is a total team guy and not a ball stopper then maybe he can earn his spot back over time. But I am old school and believe in chemistry and when you have IT that means you have something special and you don't fix what aiin't broken. So my lineups would be as follows: Rafer - PG Wafer - SG Battier - SF Scola - PF Yao - C My bench: TMac Artest Brooks Landry Situational bench Barry Hayes Deke
