Am I crazy to think had we had a legit center and rondo back we get by the Nets and Clippers? Loving the grit and fight of this team
We beat both without the center everyone claims we need, all we need is Rondo. We don't need a center, Lopez is a unique player, all teams struggle to stop him. If you notice all of the other centers we have played have performed under their avg, guys like Hibbert and Duncan. The centers and PF in the league are more of the Hibbert/Duncan types, easier for our guys to defend. I knew we would do a good job on both Jordan and Blake b/c they are right down our bigs defensive alley... I was never concerned that either one of them could cause us trouble. Even though Lopez is an offensive beast, we figured him out by the 4th and shut him down. We just couldn't score to save our lives and it was the same story against the Clips. Give us a healthy RR after he gets chemistry with the guys and we are gonna be better than people think. COME ON RR, PLEASSSSSEEEE!!!!
Our problem is scoring droughts, we don't need anyone but a real pg. Craw has been excellent but he is no RR. These two games after winning player of the week Craw hasn't been good. If he isn't penetrating and controlling the offense, we stink. Again, stats are going to fool some people but Craw hasn't been getting the offense moving like he had been b4 winning. We do enough to win on defense but we go minutes upon minutes without scoring. It's not all on Craw but he is usually the one with the ball stuck in his hands. He has been taking a lot more bad shots the last 2 games too.
