what do we need to do? 

Post#1 » by twenty23 » Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:24 am

obviously our lineup/ rotations arent working. we need to figure out what to do.

one thing i dont get, how the **** can mike brown put shaq and big z on bargs/bosh, kg, sheed.

I think we need to run more. our av shaq combo starting frontcourt just does not work.
av is playing like he has post moves (lol) and shaq cant even dunk. neither play out of the lane.

oh and bring back delonte.

what do you think we need to do?

Fire your gm and coach...you have the best player in the game next to kobe and haven't won a championship yet...i think the coach and gm have had enough years to prove themselves and they got close...but failed

I don't know about the GM, but the coach should definitly be fired.

You guys have probably played the most mobile frontcourts in the NBA with KG/Sheed and Bosh/Bargnani in your first two games. These pairing have totally exposed how slow Shaq and Z are, and I have no idea why your coach ever put them on the floor together. The one play with Bosh setting a screen for Bargnani was beautiful, Shaq had no clue what to do ...

Right now I think the opponent's gameplan would be the same as last year with teams PnR you guys to death.

it isnt a shock to lose to boston, because it was the first game of the season and the cavs have more lineup changes than boston by far (plus we only played one poor quarter - outscored by 13 in 3rdq), and toronto may be a top team this season and should win at home

Bring in Stan Van Gundy! I heard he gets along great with Shaq!

(No i'm not a trolling Raptors fan by the way, I'm a Heat fan. I just like having a mounted head of a Raptor as my avatar cuz I hate the Craptors.)

I said this in the summer. I think Sheed style wise would have been perfect but I doubt he has enough respect for Lebron to keep him in check like his bromance for KG will

I am a Celtics fan, but I also follow the Warriors pretty closely. Also thought that you guys were the best team last year that just ran into a bad matchup. But times have changed. Boston, LA and Orlando would wreck you this season.

This is what you need to do:

Get rid of Shaq immediately. The only thing that passes for offense on your team is a bunch of guys playings off of one of the best slashers ever. If they aren't getting those open looks off of LeBron's drive and dishes, you might as well waive half of the dudes on your team. And Shaq is clogging up the paint like crazy for LeBron. Worst possible complement imaginable.

And he is killing you on defense, which was the strength of your team after LeBron. Guy hasn't covered the pick and roll in like 5 years.

Oh... and he is like 350 pounds, totally out of shape and will turn 38 in March.

This is not just a couple of bad games. Shaq is a COMPLETE TRAIN WRECK FOR YOU GUYS, PERIOD.

There is no way you beat the Celts or Magic if you stay pat. And I don't see why LeBron would stay with your crap team and crap city over heading to Brooklyn next year to play with Devin Harris, Terrence Williams, Yi, Lopez, a Top 5 pick, a billionaire owner, and whatever other FAs they can get to take their cap room.

Against my better judgment as a Cs fan, I gotta tell you... this is serious business. You could lose a potential GOAT if you just sit there.

So here is my trade... Shaq/Hickson/Delonte/2011 pick for Stephen Jackson/Maggette/Biedrins.

Warriors are stuck between pretending to compete and playing for 2012. That deal let's them quietly tank while shedding massive payroll. And it gives you guys a lineup of:

Mo/Boobie
Jax/Mags
LBJ/Parker
Varejao/Moon/Powe
Biedrins/Ilgauskas

Do it now. You will need all the time you can get to build chemistry before the playoffs start.
