2. U say Chauncey was throwing it all over the place.More than Arroyo. Um...maybe cuz Los played only 7 minutes, 0-2 fg, 2 assist , 3 to's. That's 15 turnovers if he played 35 minutes,Lee. Chauncey( I call him by his first name when he has a bad game)had 6 in 37 minutes. So dont ever compare these two.
3. Enuf with the Evans bashing. OK, u hate him WE GET IT. But I never see a poor EFFORT from him. like with the europeans. I see him in a new role when Lindsay comes back. But he needs time to grow with this team. The same time frame we gave to Dice, Dos Los, and even Tayshaun. Anybody who tries to find flaws every time someone 'touches' the ball, 'obviously' never played the game.
4. Dice was "off"? He was 4-8. 50% is even, not off. Tay and Chauncey (4-23) were OFF.
Happy New year...we still love ur posts tho, my bruddah! |
Good reply.
On Dyess, obviously, when I rewatched the game I saw he was doing pretty good in the first half. My memory was telling me about his 2nd half.
On hating Evans, no. I just watch closely. Can't help noticing his mistakes. Each time he shoots the ball, he just stands there admiring his shot. The other team is fast breaking. Get with the program already. What I don't get about that is why the coach did not chew him a new one during halftime about that and why Evans did it more in the 2nd half.
If you like Evans, go ahead and point out all the times he handled the ball well for us in a set resulting in points for the team. Or point out once where he played good D against a decent player of Clevelands. Or where Evans even got close to hitting a shot. Praise him all you want. Go ahead.
I will compare Arroyo and CB for sure. Two of the best in the league on assist to turn ratios. Both had bad games on the turnover front. CB his worst of the year. I threw that in there to avoid the usual Arroyo bashers.
On Arroyo's defense, so far, this rep about him not being a decent defender is not proving to be accurate at all. Where in the Cleveland game do you see him playing bad D?
Delfino also we thought was going to light on D. Ain't been the case. Listen to his coach. Per the announcers, the coach said Delfino did fine at times on Wade and Flip was going to trust Delfino to guard Bron. More than just words, Flip did have Delfiino guard Wade. And for about 4 or 5 minutes in this game, Flip had Delfino guarding Bron.
In contrast, Flip had Evans guard Bron on one play, and it was a disaster for us, with Bron waltzing in unimpeded to the basket. You say Delfino can't defend. Well, Evans came to this team with a rep as a good defender. Do you still believe Evans can defend better than Delfino? And what do you think Flip thinks on this now?
And Happy New Year.
