why is Sheldon Williams not playing? 

Post#1 » by Mcfale313 » Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:50 am

sorry i've been away for a while with some personal stuffs
but i did squeeze out some time to check our boxscore and stuffs every gameday
I noticed bobby brown has played for 2 games and Sheldon (or tschalden? shawnden? anywayz) Williams hasnt played one. I figure we need more bigmen after Al went down, so why cant Shakldjasldjasdhaodden Williams play for some garbage time if McHale doesnt trust him? I really wanna see him playing for us.
anybody know why?
thanks in advance
dont tell me because Candace Parker almost about to give birth..............i know she's pregnant
and Jason Collins played a lot lately....thats wrong! i hate to see those play by play showing
"[MIN] Jason Collins missed a 17 foot jump shot from left arc", dude cant stop thinking he is not stiff..

free WIlliams please! at least he could be much better than Jason "stonestiff" Collins

I kind of think he may just be struggling with the new system. I was listening to an interview and they asked how things are going with the new team. He said there was a lot of new info and it was hard to process. Then they asked Mr. Prerogative and he said it's very similar to the Kings and he was getting ti no problem. Brown has been playing, Williams hasn't. I guess Brown is just a lot better at picking up the system and Williams is coming along more slowly.

I wonder if the schemes for the guards is more similar to the Kings than the bigs? Well he needs to figure it out soon and help Love out.

that's what I would have posted as well. it seems to me that the Landlord just hasn't been able to get the whole new system yet.

btw: playing Brown and Ollie at the same time doesn't make sense to me...

maybe it's better he know as little about our system as possible

btw basti, it didn't make any sense at all to me either. Also, I don't have a problem playing Ollie, Cardinal, and Collins, but in the name of scoring, is there ever a time any 2 of them should ever be on the court at the same time? I say no.

And we might as well not have Craig Smith on the court if we're not going to give him the ball and let him go to the work. I think the lineup was Smith, Ollie, Brown, Cardinal and Carney or something weird like that, could've been Collins and not Cardinal, at any rate Craig Smith was the only guy on the court with scoring ability and every possession is 18 footer from Ollie, 3 from Brown, jumper from Carney, 18 footer from Cardinal...just give the ball to Craig and let him work the face-up and drive move. Rhinos are known for putting their head down and going hard. Let the man do his thing.

Craig Smith and Love do not work well together. I have no idea why they are ever together.

Because with Jefferson out, they are our best 2 front court players.

Our leader in +/- is Cardinal or Gomes. Not smith. In the small ball we are doing we do not need a Smith/Love frontcourt.

Weird thing is they looked decent at the beginning of the year together, but now it is horrible.

Love and Smith were both bench players at the beginning of the year, playing against other team's backups. I'm sure that had something to do with it.

Don't say that, it'll go to his head.

Bad point point, that was a very bad point. :-)

Sheldon Williams is the first human man that I have ever seen pregnant. And the fact that he's carrying their baby in his head.... just groundbreaking.

Leave Sheldon's fivehead alone!

I think it's quite possible that he's just not that good, kids. I'm willing to give him until the end of the season - on paper his skills fit perfectly on a team lacking defensive stoppers, especially in the frontcourt. But if he can't earn PT on a 26 win team... I think the writing is on the wall.

agreed. maybe he reads all our comments which makes him cry in the corner leaving him to be unable to play.

You fellas may be right. We should all try and back off...

If we can get out of its vicinity!
