I love it. We all need to find another excuse for why we aren't playing well

If the Magic lose to the Wizards... I'm sold... something is going down trade-wise... good or bad

Exactly.

Where is the "effort" from the "best center in the NBA?"

I just stating the reality. It is tough to expect a coach to instantly put a guy with no real nba history. Who's career in the league has not been good so far. I think when Stan looking at another PG he thinking maybe we should trade for a Sessions. Few weeks ago maybe we should sign Nate Robinson. You saw the Bulls get Mike James. He might even be looking at Jwill at courtside and say maybe we need to see what kind of shape he is in.

I'm not saying Ish can't play. I'm just stating Stan going to look and say is Smith better than Duhon. Even as bad as Duhon has been it isn't like he is much different than when we gave him a big contract. His weaknesses and strengths are still the same. So it is going to be tough to justify Smith in front of Duhon in the rotation. He going to look at Duhon and see a pretty good assist to turnover ratio. Shooting near 40% from 3. Not the worse on defense. I know he probably knows Duhon sucks but he has to be convinced that Ish is better than that. Tough to do when you have a 41% career TS.

From what I've heard from Stan, Stan asked for Ish. He went to Otis and asked for him. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I know Stan asked for specific skills, Otis found some people, and either Stan signed off, or Otis did it on his own, but Ish was signed based on what Stan requested. They made this decision with needs in mind. Like I said in my earlier response, I think there is an over emphasis on our 2nd string point guard and the skills needed to be one. That doesn't mean Duhon gets a pass for sucking. We do need speed and penetration to counter our 2nd unit's inability to move the ball in towards the rim. Duhon doesn't offer than, Ish does. He's shown it.

That's the reason this is frustrating for me. Stan asked for Ish, got him, when he's played he's been much better than Duhon, yet we still see Duhon. We don't have 3 years to evaluate Ish. Might not even matter in 2 weeks.

I can't say he is much better because he has barely played. We have seen him for 36 minutes.

I would need to know the dynamics of what SVG was asking. Who were the other guys on the list. If he said bring in Ish because he is better than Duhon then he should play him. If he said bring in Ish because we need a 3rd PG that can break pressure. That is fine but it isn't like teams tell you that there about to pressure you. He couldn't get the ball up on John Wall. Wall is a good defender but not really known as a full court pressure guy. Either you play Ish full time as back up but it will be tough to wait until teams pressure you.

What's Jordan Crawford's career high? Whoa, slow down now, it's whatever he ends up scoring tonight.

I thought Crawford went to the Blazers...oh nvm its just another one who can hit iso-3's

This dude just chucks bad shot after bad shot and makes it. Beyond frustrating to watch.

Post #273 » by **SOUL** » Thu Mar 1, 2012 1:41 am

I turned it off.

I swear every game I watch whether we win or lose, we suck. I turn it off, we come back. Hopefully its the same tonight

It's more frustrating because Stan hasn't learned to do the same. Stan likes to bench guys for 10 minutes straight once they get a little hot...

Yeah I know, like with Jameer hitting a couple of threes right now. We'll see Duhon in a few cause Stan has a set rotation that he does not deviate from...sigh.
