These are the games you have to get an L if your tanking…its alright to beat a Miami or OKC but the bottom dwellers need to score W's against you. Our percentage for 1st went from 11% to 15%. I don't care if we get 1 or 2, but it sounds like top 3 is a must.
1. Embid
2. Parker
Love the Harris kid from Mich St if we some how go on a streak…could be a big upgrade over AB.
right now Chris Johnson is an upgrade over AB
You people love to hate on AB...
nope -- just calling it as I see it this year. AB's D isn't what is was in past years and Johnson shows a much better all-around game on offense while playing respectable D
Did you ever stop to think that AB's D is hindered by us not having a big to man the paint, our pick and roll D from our bigs is HORRIBLE, and the fact that he was playing beside guys like Crawford on defense? Nope it's all on AB. Even though his D has not been up to par he has at least tried to help by giving offense and til those last like 3 games played he was shooting the ball very well and getting a lot per shot. So, like I said it's hating to hate. AB trying to do what Green is suppose to do but wont, can't blame him for trying to step up when no one else was!
I agree. Someone has to put up shots.
Sometimes you have to force the issue. Avery was taking shots but some really does have to. I think this forum gets super against that. I'm for efficient basketball too but sometimes you need to take tough shots. Players like Durant take tough shots. Pierce took tough shots.
And they're young players being asked to do a lot. It won't happen well consistently. That's how it is. But I personally like that Avery and Sullinger have at times really taken offensive responsibility on and have had some big games.
For our future, our team pretty badly needs another scorer. I'm hoping we find that in the draft this year. But until then we have to score somehow.
