The thing about Will plays excellent when he has a chip on his shoulder. That is, when he doesn't know when he's going to see the floor again. Once he solidifies a spot he chucks. Its weird but its been like that since the beginning.

Given,
1. Bynum has been really hot since getting to play again he warrants more time, even if his streakiness will come down. But if he is there with Stuckey they do not compliment each other.
2. Stuckey has been playing better and better.
3. Singler has been playing worse and worse.
4. Knight went cold recently after being a great scorer for a good stretch, and has consistently been an excellent shooter.

Why don't we let Stuckey and Knight start together sharing ball handling duty, let Bynum be the primary PG backup, have Singler be in with Bynum...?

It is a pointless proposal given that Frank reacts with glacial pace to rotations.

I'm actually with you on this one. Stuck/Knight compliment each other well, as do Bynum/Singler. I actually think you could do Bynum/Knight and Stuckey/Singler too if you really wanted. Both Bynum & Stuckey really need a shooter to compliment them and in both cases Knight has another ball handler on the floor with him. Singler doesn't need the ball so Stuck can kinda do his thing.

I really did like the look with Daye at the 2 and CV on the floor as well spreading the floor.
We have some pretty versatile players, I'd like to see us experiment more with both big and small lineups. Knight/Daye/CV/Monroe/Drummond! :lol:

didnt catch the game live. watching the replay and lovin the toughness Dres showing, giving Lebron a shove and hard fouling Bosh whn he tried going at him. this team needs that.

Win against LeBron?
MC Hammer at halftime?

Yeah, pretty much the perfect game to go to.

Did you missed the part where the camera cut to Knight on the bench and he was looking like he wanted to kill someone while Bynum was carrying us to a win?

Or did you miss the part where after a big play and a time out, Monroe went to KISS Bynum and the whole team went to congratulate him and Knight was no where to be seen?

If that's meaningless for you, it's not meaningless for me, It says a lot about the player character.

First, I haven't seen the game yet. Knight had an off night and his back up carried the team in a win against title defender. He's a sophomore not a veteran, key player or star yet. It is natural for him to be unhappy and angry. He shouldn't be happy. If he come backs with a high determination, I'm okay with it. I get your point but his behavior also can be explained as he's a high competitive guy, not just a bad character.

Great game but I'm really hating this trend of our bench scrubs outplaying our starters. Hopefully this can dramatically boost their trade value and we can get something out of Bynum, Daye, CV, etc.

Bynum, I think is the most tradable. CV has played good, but not good enough to justify his 2/17 remaining on his deal, so he likely still has negative value, and Daye is still just an EC at this point- teams would be better off trying to acquire him for cheap in the offeseason.

Bynum, Maxiel and Jerebko are still the 3 that I really want traded since I think Bynum/Max can fetch late firsts from contending teams and Jerebko simply doesnt have a fit on this team.

Lebron played 44 minutes. Did Daye get his against Lebron? Prince had no rebounds. Did Lebron have a lot to do with that? Oh, and ha ha at Lebron playing 44 minutes and losing to the Pistons. Punk!

^
Daye played SG all game, he was matched up with Ray Allen. Lebron had his way against Prince as he usually does and Singler.

Bynum had a very good game. But does it feel like a special needs story to anyone else everytime he pulls out a good game? Bynum will suck for weeks. Then he'll go off in a game and everyone gathers around him like the wimpy kid in gym class when he finally makes a basket. Teammates don't high-five him like he's a professional doing his job, they jump on him and shower him with praise like it's the highlight of his life. And if a guy doesn't act like it's a miracle he had a good game, that player has bad character? :-?

Andre Drummond. 8-)

Andre Drummond.

He's a 3rd string pg who lead his team to a victory over the reigning champions.
He's also a midget.

^well, being an undrafted bench player from the d-league is kind of the NBA equivalent of a special needs story. :lol:

Anyone else get a Gary Coleman vibe from Bynum?

Bynum needs somebody in his ear constantly, reminding him to run the offense. When he's aggressive pushing the ball, attacking and finding the open man the guy is friggin' amazing. He's had a good mix on the floor with him recently, guys are crashing the boards and getting out and running. He's also got shooters to help spread the floor. But he frequently puts blinders on and when his shot isn't falling he rarely finds other ways to contribute. If those pull up threes he took don't drop we're all bashing the guy for taking bad shots.

I like Bynum, but he was playing like trash earlier and deserved to be out of the rotation. I'm glad he's playing well now and hope he keeps it up.

It was. Best game I've been to this year. Earlier this year though, I got to see Austin Daye pull the chair against LeBron. That was funny.

Place was packed like it usually is when the Lakers or a great team come by.
