It's funny how some can see a game and still not get it.
#1) Tay does not need the ball on the wing as a go to guy.....he ain't that good, nobody on our team is that good. Tay will get 18pts if they have enough sense to move the ball weakside to hit him on a cut, curl, post up or jumpshot. Tay also needs to take a step in from the arc sometimes and put more pressure on the defense, he's not a 3pt shooter, he's a guy who can make the shot from time to time....there's a difference between the two.
#2) Sheed played a solid game, I'm one who feels that this team is at it's best when Sheed is not a focal point of the offense. That is a position that he is not comfortable in, he likes to have the game come to him. Since Sheed arrived in Detroit he's never been more than a very skilled role player. Sheed's best games are when he gets you 16 pts, 4 from the off-glass, 6 from the arc, and 4 from the box. When you try to go to Sheed exclusively it slows this offense down (circa CHarles Barkley in Houston). Last night Sheed played great help defense, he was active in trying to double and recover , just a solid Sheed game all around, sure we wish a few more buckets would have fallen, but hey.
LAPISTON, what planet you from??? Rip used to be a great passer and slasher off the curl, that play used to be very fruitful for this team until Flip turned Rip into a statue in our half court sets.......doesn't anybody remember the game where Rip had 24pts and 12asts. Rip plays out of control alot, but he finally pefected his passing and drive game only for Flip to take it out of the DANG playbook
Rip credited the former a-hole/tyrant/traitor/coaching great that used to coach this team and credited him for completing his game, only for Fred Flipstone to bypass all that and make Rip one dimensional again, but Rip didn't care because he finally made the all-star team and had the green light to shoot three's
