As long as josh smith is playing the 3 its gonna be a train wreck. Homie can't guard the 3 and he is not a perimeter player.



Somebody on that front line gotta go:mjpls:
Said it from the jump. That was an idiotic signing and only stunts the team's growth. It seems like they're gonna have to trade Monroe for a 3, but who knows what Dumars will do.

i still think the team is fine and atleast a playoff team, i'm willing to give them til Jan. if they still playin this lost on defense then i'll know for sure Cheeks is ass (dont even ask me how) and that the pieces just dont fit

but the defensive communication is trash and BJs defense is not going to get better unless he is told to stop playing like a dumbass, stop reaching and stop overplaying and letting the PG drive (cause then the big has to come help and then his man is open and everything is all fukked up, etc)

as big and athletic as he is, drummond plays with no urgency on D......he got jordan hill looking like kevin love out there

He was getting pulled out a lot covering for Jennings and was just simply out of position, with a few exceptions, Hill is a great energy guy though and gives a lot of folks problems

like i dont want to blame BJ but this nikka just might be one of the main causes of why our TEAM defense is trash. you can not let the PG just penetrate every single time and open up the court. now drummond gotta step out and clean up your mess, now somebody gotta go clean up his mess cause drummond man is open, and so on and so on

edit: like jennings look like he been in his fair share of competitive basketball games. he may have some street in him. usually after you get your ass bust so many times, you start stepping up your game on defense. but this nikka let blake penetrate on his ass ( :scusthov: ) all night , it was disgusting






pause :mjpls:

And the defensive rotation is ass so that shyt never works. Getting beat happens, which is why when that defense is in a row it doesn't look so bad. Chauncey and Rip both would get beat quite a bit, but the d knew how to react when it happened. The one beacon of hope is that Sheed and Chauncey are both involved with this team and and are Worthing with them on the d, but even that may be a reach, cause they missing some of the most basic elements of good team d, communication.

At the moment there is ni vocal leader on defense....I think drum or jennings has to become that guy in order for this shyt to work

I didn't catch the game. The BJ/Dre clip is blood curdling! If that don't make top 10 then I'd like to give espn a big middle finger in advance. I hate we lost, Even Vegas had us winning. I aint mad though. Imagine the excitement of that play at the Palace. Our Schedule gets easier in the coming weeks (no title contenders/extended road trips) Tuesday can't come quick enough.


Still slightly disapointed, will check back after I watch more highlights and boxscores.

Drummond has to, big men see the floor and are the last line of defense.

When he gets better at communicating on D, they will improve.
Yea this year he js getting more vocal, talking shyt to hibbert and being aggresive and what not
