I will be in the minority but here goes....
Yes he has been a great microwave off the bench and we have no one else on the bench to fill that role, but what I see is the ball really sticking once he gets it and it annoys me. Yes its hard to argue when the shot goes in, but if he is still here come playoffs, playing against better defenses, this could be a problem.
I have always favored ball AND player movement, not iso hero ball. Who should take the shot? ... The open player.
What am I missing here gang??
Any season with Kyrie. The guy constantly did things to detract from team unity. Not showing up on the bench for the Game 7 vs Cleveland and then shooting us out of the game that ended our season vs Bucks and then saying that he should have taken more shots in the post presser are two perfect examples.
The Perk trade in 2011 ruined a team that I loved and took away our one advantage over the other contenders - toughness and interior muscle.
And Danny decided we needed athleticism instead (so we could look like every other top team).
If I remember correctly the Perk trade had more to do with his upcoming free agency.
Contract negotiations revealed that Perkins would cost too much money. Instead of losing him for nothing, Ainge gambled that the Celtics could use multiple veterans to cover for Perk, and get a long term asset in Jeff Green.
I've said since summer league - Hugo reminds me of Dan Majerle. Similar body type & athleticism. Similar motor. Similar rebounding. Similar ball-handling and passing. Similar slashing to the basket. Majerle had the perimeter shot while Hugo's shot is still a work in progress. 2 time All-Star. Would have made more ASG's if injuries hadn't of slowed him down.
In terms of willingness to trade Hugo - for a star player / core piece, I would make him available. Short off that I would keep him off the table.
his offense has been bad most of the season. not an overstatement or exaggertion.White really needs to get his act together. Not only is he not helping out there in this slump, but his consistently awful shot selection is really hurting us.he's been bad for most of the season -- certainly his offense has been. not sure what's up with him but C's are going to have a rough end of season if he doesn't get it together soon
I think it?s a bit of an overstatement to say he?s been bad most of the season. His assists, rebounds, and points all align with his averages over the last couple of seasons - all a little higher given a bump in mpg. His shooting averages are down and he definitely had an early season slump and is having one now. In between he was very good. I don?t see a problem defensively. Idk what it is lately but I think he?ll get it back.
His shot selection did drive me crazy tonight.
Maybe it's time to start thinking about keeping Simons and shipping White out instead
