We need bench scoring.... badly.

[BigGameDamian]

Mo and That's a good thing.

So a rookie is going to come in and take Mo's minutes and that's a good thing for Chemistry? You might as well trade Lopez for Asik. Either that if your so sure about CJ trade Mo before the 19th.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Get right out of town.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Well, I would like to see Crabb more too. It sucks the bench was 0-7 from 3. God knows Crabb can hit the 3. Earl will run the offense, which is something that Mo is hit or miss on when he's looking to score. These games are bound to happen, and CJ will be back soon. I feel sorry for Utah.

Yes I would like to see Crabbe instead of Wright when the other team has a smaller SF out there. Supposedly he has shown very well defensively in practice.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Team loss. They looked tired tonight. Still say we need a veteran PF or better yet, Center.)

Or someone who could play both. Anderson Varejao?

Varejao would be another good player for us. He's got that motor to really change the game for our bench unit.

 

[maxiep]

I don't see a need to change anything. Let our bench develop. They're not playing great right now, but there's no reason they can't step it up.

 

[tlongII]

We're 17-4. We're fine.

 

[magnifier661]

Let's trade for Kobe! :maris61:

 

[tlongII]

I have no idea why Nate bags on Mo so much. He's shooting about 42% from the field and about 37% from 3's. Also 92% free throws. He's doing a good job.

Nate has to find someone to be upset about. He's been on his case the entire season.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I think some people just need to calm the fuck down

 

[3RA1N1AC]

How many points should our bench score? Our starters score a lot of points, even when bench players are in the game

 

[Blazinaway]

Or someone who could play both. Anderson Varejao?

I'd much prefer Spencer Hawes, great offense and shooting, averaging 10 rebs a game, makes our big rotation much better with better flexibility.

That's not true. I was optimistic about Mo when the season started, and I even defended him for a while, but slowly over the first twenty games he's become the most frustrating player on the team for me.

I bag on him because all of those shooting percentages have nothing to do with running a basketball team. He's one of the league leaders in turnovers, he dribbles way too much, and when he's in the game all that beautiful motion and passing shuts down. Just because he occasionally hits a crazy pull-up jumper after dribbling for 15-20 seconds does not mean he's doing fine.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

They should be 10 deep with starters, these inferior bench players deserve to be benched

Substantive.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

I too think earl Watson is the answer to all that ails

Good analysis

 

[3RA1N1AC]

You are just scatterbrained here..."we need bench scoring.... badly", yet your plan is to get rid of our highest scoring bench player, and replace him with earl Watson.

Worthwhile read

That's not my plan. That's A plan.

Watson might not score as much as Mo, but what if he gets better results out of Dame, Wright, Robinson, and Freeland?

Steve Jones constantly hammered about Ball movement and player movement. With Mo there is no ball movement. Maybe with Earl there would be better ball movement and thusly better player movement and a better offensive rhythm?

 

[santeesioux]

I'm definitely coming around to the Hawes idea, he'd be a great bench guy. Would probably cost more than we want to give up, but would be cheaper than Asik.

I think Asik's asking price will come down a bit. you never want to start out selling low.

 

[Blazinaway]

I think Asik's asking price will come down a bit.

maybe, but in any case Hawes is a much better fit with RoLo

 

[ripcityboy]

What players are you thinking of getting and for who?

who are U askin? if you've read the last page or two my vote is for Hawes, but not sure what the cost would be

He's a reserve and he can score. He fits very well with our team.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I thought this team was a championship contender? How the fuck can they be and still need a bench?

"contender" is in the eyes and homerism of the beholder, as currently constructed I think we are a lower probability contender, the right addition could very well change that

 

[Natebishop3]

What players are you thinking of getting and for who?

I really like Rodney Stuckey. I think he would be awesome off our bench. He's a free agent after this season, so I doubt Detroit will want to pay to keep him. It's a question of how much it would cost.

It's a question of whether we're willing to send out young guys to bring back talent that could help us win now. Guys like Jordan Crawford and Rodney Stuckey would be great scorers off the bench for us.

Who said we're a championship contender?

Umm, I think most here are cautiously optimistic about getting to the 2nd round. Maybe you are confusing this board with the gilroy garlic festival?
