What's new

Less Miles, more Evans & Hayward

AK was playing his heart out in his last game before he twisted his ankle, and same for Bell in the Denver game. I don't get the hate on this board.
 
Trout, please get on CJ's facebook again and talk trash to his family. After that, he started shooting the ball well. That is all.

I tried, but he's got me firmly deleted. On the flipside, I've been going to town on D-Won't.

What hate? Their 30+ year old injury prone players. They bring little energy at the start of games and inserting Miles and Hayward in the starting lineup immediately changed that. They are also good players that can give the bench experience and some scoring.
 
I don't see most of the games, but based on the ones I get on national TV, players like Bell and AK can play hard and well, and it is not appreciated at all on this board. I was not talking about just you Greg, but the board in general. This was just an example.
 
I'm not a CJ homer and would love to see more AK over CJ but let's be fair here. CJ takes most of his ill advised shots with shot clock winding down. What do you want him to do with 4sec to go? Pass it up to someone else on perimeter?
In fact when plays got broken and clock is going down passing the ball up to your best outside shooter on the court is'nt worst decision.

Sample size: 1 game. So sue me.

I'm just providing data; I'm not offering opinions as to whether CJ truly sucks or is merely horrible. I'll let the data -- which clearly shows that most to 95% to all of his shots are taken in the last few seconds of the shot clock -- speak for itself.
