Lesser of two evils - Buike or Pietrus

Whos the lesser of two evils?

Pietrus dogs it, fakes injuries. He does have his moments, but I think hes basically shutting it down for the year now after his nice stretch of games.

Buike tries at least. Doesn't understand what hes doing out there, not that Pietrus does though. His confidence is shot now. He did play nice D on Kobe, and always contributes a little on the offensive glass.

Call me crazy but I wouldn't mind having either of these guys on our squad next year.

I'd take Bukie any day of the week, simply because of the IQ. He also handles better and usually has a more consistent shot. Not as good a 4 or 5 as Clouseau. Bukie a better 2 and about equal at the 3.

Buke no question... You dont have to convince him that he's not an all-star...

I still think Buke can be useful on a good team... a 5-10 min a night instant offense type guy. Quick hook... if he's hitting, he stays, if he's not, he's on the bench..

But if we're talking about as PF's, probably Pietrus, and it's damn sad that I'm half serious when I say that.

I'd take Pietrus > Azubuike..I'd also rather eat cat poop > dog poop.

Isn't that sort of a moot point Reg, since neither one of those guys should be playing PF? Once Petey's out of GS, he'll never see that position again. It's only semi-retarded, drunken, half-senile coaches who play guys 6'6 (who don't weight 250 or >) at the power forward position unless its due to an emergency situation (i.e., players sick or hurt).

Pietrus. Atleast he plays defence and has a good stroke to his shooting. Also contributes in rebounds and brings energy to this team.

Along with bonehead plays

reaching for stupid fouls

The occasional step out of bounds

and selfishness.

Oh yeah, and an occasional highlight reel dunk that he /you hope will get you your next contract.

I change my vote to Pietrus... the Pietrus homers are funnier than the Buke homers :nod:

If I'm forced to play them at forward, Pietrus. Otherwise I take Kelenna as a backup SG.

You can say that about everybody. Look at Stephen Jackson the other night against the Lakers. He dribbled the ball off his foot leading to a turn over. Did you see the play yesterday against the Nuggets when Jackson made an inbound pass to Ellis and Ellis was not even looking?

As for reach ins... everybody does that on the Warriors team. Look at Baron and Ellis, they reach for stupid fouls which leaves trouble for Biedrins and Harrington causing them to get in foul trouble. Have you not seen Ellis step out of bounds the other night? Everybody does sometimes because the corner is very slim and when you drive you sometimes step out of bounds like Monta did the other night.

Selfishness, look at Baron and Stephen Jackson. Jackson is horrible at shot selection and so is Baron. Nelly play Pietrus not to have him pass the ball, because he rarely gets it standing in the corner and sometimes cutting to the basket.

Kelenna hit two CLUTCH shots down the stretch tonight and was one of the main reasons we beat Dallas.

There is virtually no chance that MP will agree to return to Warriors. (Nor will POB)

At the same time, W's will match any contract offer to Buike. Buike is on minimum salary but has opt-out clause.

I would have to disagree, I think both are leaving next year.
