We just need that threat out there. JJ Redikk isnt' big time. DJ can't score. Austin shouldn't even be in the game in the 4th. Crawford shouldn't even be on the team imo. Blake and Cp3 need help. Doc is acting like the bench is conposed of Big Baby and Hedo all over again:snoop:
Sure if it's the last possession of the game, but do you really want a lineup where no player can cause defensive breakdowns during possession changeovers near the end of a game? Pierce can barely put the ball on the floor anymore. You have to get him a set shot and since he isn't going to be running off any picks in halfcourt sets, it's easy for the defense to read and react to when he gets the ball. I think it's best if yall persevere with Redikk, he just needs to get the ball more often in situations like that.

Lance Stevenson on the Warriors 2 or 3.. Wes Johnson or Paul Pierce on the Warriors 3 or 4. We just have to take that hit either way. These guys execute and play together. Against that team there won't be that many turnovers on offense. And I'd love to roll with Redikk but he doesn't hit big shots in crunch time. I'll take a chance with a guy like Pierce. He's been there and isn't afraid of the moment. There's been enough years of CP3 and Blake either turning the ball over, or dribbling too much, getting double teamed, exhausted late in the 4th, etc. Time for something different even if we do take a hit on the defensive end on a few possessions. This 2nd round exit sh*t time and time again isn't fun breh

Pierce can't even guard his shadow anymore. You can't really keep him in if teams are exchanging possessions; forcing him to play defense.
He was the reason the Wizards went down 3-2 against the Hawks.. He couldn't boxout Millsap, Nene had to cover for him and that left Horford open for the putback.

shyt still haunts me :mjcry:

What the fukk. You get rid of Randle then.
No. Just, no.

Randle has shown his ability to possibly be a great player while Okafor has also, but Randle is a much better rebounder and looks to be a much better defender at this point. Right now, Oak is all offense/scoring and Randle does a lot more whIle putting up similar numbers on a team where he gets the ball a lot less than Oak. However, I would have been willing to see how they would have worked together so I woulda drafted Oak. If we struggled defensively and I HAD to make a change, I'm putting Oak out there for a trade before Randle. Randle has a rare skilkset.
