full credit to you Mori , I only have the 2nd half to finish but I couldn't even get through the 3rd quarter just now. I am not surprised by Monroe, he is always efficient on the offensive end and is known to have quick hands on D. A rim protector he definitely is not but like some of you asked, is a 27yr old legit post presence that bad of a piece to use ?Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:I watched the game on DVR on a delay, so I couldn't comment during. Quick thoughts:
- I thought Jackson had an awful game while watching; lost the ball a bunch, an air ball of an open jumper, just generally looked scared and lost. But the box score showed decent stats for him. I guess we need to give the guy more time.
- I thought Munroe looked pretty darn good out there. An actual professional NBA big man. Had post moves and everything. Don't see why we shouldn't play the guy.
- Even though we lost big and lost bad, I didn't hate watching this game. We do have a lot of players I like.
- I really dislike Mike James. Whoever said that he's our best PG over Ulis is crazy. He is a ball hog and chucks up bad shots. He has no business being an NBA rotation PG imo.
- I hate watching James Harden. I hate his foul-drawing BS and how the refs consistently fall for it. I hate his little hand gestures and his "eating soup" motion or whatever it is. f*** him.
I will wait and see what Triano does because even the high post stuff we tried before that wasn't suited for Len , Monroe would actually be able to operate in that set too. It is one of two things watching the 1st quarter, either simply a new guy now finding his role on the team or the kinda usage you give a guy who you don't plan to keep around.
As for Josh it was a decent game but decision making is still the biggest part of the learning curve. He has the freedom to bring the ball up when he rebounds but I'm sure most of the time he has chosen to attack the basket 1on1 or keep the ball and then attack off the pick n roll. Those are the ones I not too fussy about, if he doesn't get anything on the break I think he should just run a play and still trying too many scoop finishes which getting blocked. Was better last night tho
