The interesting thing bout Oso is his ball handling and passing skills. They're both pretty impressive. His offense is pretty much limited to driving to the basket and shooting a little teardrop in the lane. He's going to need to make some progress there and on his free throws if he's going to get to the next level. Plus, he needs to get stronger.

But I'm much more impressed with his this year than last. I think he can play as a backup big man on a contender. He's more of a solution than a problem this year.

I think he's an All-Star PF if he ever learns how to shoot. And I think he's smart enough and motivated enough to do it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

He's 23 years old and still cant shoot a "normal" looking shot besides a free throw and even that can be a struggle.

He's never going to develop a respectable shot in the NBA.

His best bet would to be just embrace being physical and focus on being a defensive force. Some of my all time faves couldn't score a lick.

I'd like that but I'd also like it if he was more aggressive offensively and tried to throw it down on fools. He's got the athleticism. Maybe take a page out of his buddy, Oso's book.

Get Ben Wallace to come teach him how to be mean.

Brooks is right there.

Dunn, I think just needs a couple of years of practice to get comfortable. He'll either get there or not - I don't think drastic measures are going to help with him at this point. His form is fine.

Ighodaro, on the other hand, is the perfect candidate to hire a shooting coach and completely rebuild his form. He has nothing to lose. Even a slight bump to his ft shooting would be great for his game.

How are we feeling now about this upcoming home stretch? 2 games against good teams and 2 against bad.

I think we beat the Bucks and Jazz and lose to the Nuggets. The Raptors game could go either way. We don't want to get swept by them, but it is the second night of back to backs.

[Superbone]

I'm a little worried to be honest about our whole playoff positioning now. I do think we'll most likely go 2-2 in the upcoming home stand. 3-1 wouldn't surprise me and 1-3 would be devastating.

7th isn’t that bad of a spot. It does seem inevitable that we end up 7th…just gotta win the play-in game. I think we can give the Spurs a fight if we are healthy.

[JJ Slim]

I'm of the opinion that because it appears we are solidly at least in the play-ins and that we have exceeded even our own expectations and also that there is honestly no way we make it to the Finals much less win them that we do what we can in the playoffs, go as far as we can, get some excellent experience for all involved, especially the rookies and others that have never been in the playoffs, try to keep injuries to a minimum and make plans for next year. Some how this is now the longest sentence I have ever written beating out the one I just made in another thread lol.

[Split T]

Ya as I thought about it more, there was probably a better option than Rasheer out there to finish that game if the only goal was winning that one game….however, if Rasheer is going to be a significant player for us, he’s going to have to take and make pressure fts like that. Let’s get the nerves out of the way now.
