Seems like we almost have to play zone when Miller is in there. He gets beat by everybody he defends.

[keynote]

This second unit is getting outhustled -- badly. Webster in particular is having a tough time with Gee, who is a bigger, more physical player.

[80sballboy]

You can see Andre Miller has had one practice with the Wiz. We're just throwing up jumpers and not going inside to Seraphin or Nene now that he's in the game.

[queridiculo]

Is anybody on that unit going to try to play some defense..

[Sluggerface]

Spencer Hawes would have been a great pickup. Really would have rather had him + Udrih than Andre Miller.

[Illmatic21]

That's where Temple really set the tone. Miller brings more offensive know-how but is a huge drop off on the other end

[nuposse04]

Randy, the enabler of momentum.

Potato head is a fool but at least he tries to right ship at the first sign of problems. Randy is all bout bleedin out a mutha ****. Dude sucks massive balls.

Still, I see guys like Rose drive with Boozer & Noah. I see Westbrook drive with Perkins & Ibaka even though Ibaka does have a lil range. Kobe is a SG but he was driving with Bynum & Gasol. I just dont like our picks. Never have and never will. Again, I think Flip was a PG with limited athleticism so he wanted an O that could play to those strengths. Billups & Cassell are great but they are made for this system. How often did you see them attack the rim? Its all jumpers with them or passes back to the big.

59.7% of John Wall's shot attempts this year are at the rim.

Russell Westbrook shoots 48.7% of his shot attempts from the rim this year.
Russell Westbrook shot 52.6% of his shot attempts from the rim last year.

Derrick Rose shot 52.9% of his shot attempts from the rim two years ago when he was healthy. It was just 42.1% this year.

are you sure thats not there FG%? I see Westbrook & Rose usually attempt like 42-46% of there shots at the rim while Wall is only at 32% which shows you how bad it is. You are probably look at there FG% at the rim which makes it even worse since it shows Wall is a better finisher then them

[MikeTheKid]

Just turned the game on and were only up 1, whose scrub of the night so far???

[dlts20]

KS is so much more under control now. Seems unreal

[Sluggerface]

Where is Wall? wtf

[dlts20]

I wouldnt sit Wall this long even on a b2b. He had crazy pep in his step and he dwasnt that aggressvive last game so he probably had alot of energy. He's just making Wall cold

[SizzlinSimms]

Nobody really.

[dlts20]

Wall was having his best game in a long time and just because we have Miller now, means they will start stripping his minutes down? He always cools our hot hand. Wall was in a zone in every way and was in total control of the game. Hope he didnt lose that

Ya there's no way that's right. Last time I checked Wall was attacking in the low 30s.

[Illmatic21]

I don't know what Wittman is doing with minutes, but if he's gonna sit Wall that long he better play the majority of the 4th.. against NO he left Miller in until 4:00 and it almost cost us the game

[CPThree]

Miller should have been out a few minutes ago.

Randy's like a kid with a new toy.

[Sluggerface]

If we could get Hawes + Monroe next season I would cream myself.

Hawes is probably going to want a pay increase though.

[stevemcqueen1]

Cleveland is playing a pure 2-3 zone defense.

[CPThree]

Wall tearing it up > sits for almost 10 minutes > comes back with a brick and turnover.

Great coaching.
