Dennis schroder helped his value for a couple weeks but I think he starting to hurt it now the way he's been playing lately.

Damn, Schroeder just playing bad. Walked it up full-court for that last shot, then threw up a terrible shot. Is he sleepwalking? Come on.

Loving the defensive effort for the most part. Ball is moving pretty well on the other end, too.

Repeat that effort in the second half.

Good, then maybe we can keep him on the MLE salary increase rules we’re subjected to.

I gotta ask.
Why does Langford have the same amount of Rebounds as our 2 Centers, combined???

Hopefully we don't see a repeat of the Knicks game, where the C's came out so flat in the 3rd. I mean, these guys can learn their lesson, right? Right??

In fairness:

1. Effort
2. Rob has been out on the arc setting picks for JT
3. Freedom has concrete in his shoes

sucks that so many of their key guys are out. I was looking forward to seeing the growth. I always speculated they'd be better without Sexton and Mobley, Allen and Okoro are a good trio of defenders.

Good, then maybe we can keep him on the MLE salary increase rules we’re subjected to.

About $10M, this Offseason. -- It's a Strong possibility.
Plus we'd be a year ahead, on his Bird Rights (than any other team).

meanwhile Schro's presence made PP a 2 guard and somehow despite playing well and making his shots Nesmith has been buried again as the Schro-Smart pairing is at it again..

I see No redeeming value in Ime as a coach and definitely not understanding the small or big picture..

can't wait for Nesmith to come in cold again and miss his only shot and wait for someone to say he can't play.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

is it a surprise that Clev has played it;s best now that they lost their number one shoot, shoot shoot and never pass PG.

lose the ball dominators, win some games, what a surprise.

ime has made changes at times this season . not starting schro may seem late but at least he did it. he has had other small moves at times too, it's just that most coaches like a set rotation, but i'm glad he hasn't been as rigid as it seems. he has also played the guys when who contribute as much as its said he doesnt play the young guys. he's played all of them more EVERY TIME they produced! grant, romeo and now pritch got some time when they did positive stuff and he sat all of them when they didn't.
