He could take ZZs minutestonight if it were up to me. He ain't all theat great but he is better than ZZ. Pick and roll with Bibby/Big Z could be deadly and could take some of the scoring pressure off of the starters. He will go back to Cleveland though, so, I waste valuable minutes of my life typing this.

You should post this on every baskeball board in the land. Josh does not get enough credit for how he plays the game. Years back, the media wanted to give AK47 is own country for playing like this.

That would be sweet; watch Jamal and Z play pick and pop. Pick and roll with those two would be unguardable.

Our problems are: ZZ/Joe Smith Bibby/Teague On most nights you get nothing from those 4 dudes. We need a PG and a backup C.

If JJ goes to the Clippers it will be all about the money and not about winning; nothing we can do about that. If a player this stage of his career chooses money over winning, there is nothing you can do.

Yep, we should sign him immediately. He is a better option offensively than Joe Smith and more active around the basket. He is avging 9 and 7 with 1 block in 22 mins a game.

Joe could easily get his average off of open ball rotated jump shots and pump and go drives. Why can't he see this?

Yes, immediately!

Durant remnds me of a young Big Dog Robinson.

I said the same two weeks ago; Mo plays a lot better with the starters because he is a utility type guy that can hit open 3s. Marvin is too passive with the starters but with the 2nd unit he can be more aggressive. Not only would I make that move; I would start Jamal. I want to play with leads instead of falling behind and catching up. You can get 17 pts of the bench from Marvin and Bibby...let Bibby play pick and roll/pop with Joe and ZZ, hopefully that would get more out of them because they are currently giving us nothing. I don't think Woodson has the balls to do it, though.

That quote by Woodson is to let Bibby know that his defense is a problem, so he won't be shocked when he is benched.

It's usually against teams with big front lines...Smoove's advantage against bigger guys is that he can face and drive, he can't drive if they play off of him and give him the jump shot. If Smoove is to reach the next level he has to be able to hit jump shots from 12-15 feet.

OKC is a better basketball team. May not have better talent, up and down, but they are a better team.

We simply don't attack Lewis and Howard on the offensive end. Horford and Smoove need to attack the basket and not settle for hooks or jumpers. What happened to Smoove taking two dribbles and trying to break the rim he rarely does that anymore. Vince gets to guard Marvin, which means he can relax. Attacking the interior and creating fouls is the way to go. We have to keep the game close. If you watch the Magic, when the game is close Anderson, Redick and Barnes are not nearly as comfortable taking and making threes, but when they get a lead it's like those guys gain confidence because a miss doesn't mean as much when you are up by 10-15. Defensively, fouling Dwight as much as possible is the key. He gets frustrated and we don't have to double. Be aggresive and push him of the block, if we foul, so what. Al, Z, Collins, Smoove, Joe Smith, that's 30 fouls use'm. And yeah making Jameer defend Craw is also a good Idea.

That sucks...Josh does so much on the floor.

Same thing I said in chat tonight. Bibby is just too slow to start and play 27 minutes a night. If we don't make a move, the only thing we can do to improve is to start Craw and have Bibby run a bunch of pick and rolls when he is with the second unit. I still think he can be effective as a pick and roll jump shooter against 2nd stringers. If he can get a lot 0f 10-12 ft jumps shots off the bench he can help. But if we want to get better without making a trade or signing a free agent, we have to move him to the bench and start Craw. (Push Craw's minutes up to 37 and Bibby's to 20). If Teague would stop making so many simple mistakes and could make a jumpshot we could give him a few extra minutes.

Wow....we really need to keep Bibby on the right side of the floor, check that out!

If we got away with the bumping, pushing and grabbing that Houston gets away with, we would get a title this year. But, I guess Houston gets away with that because of it's "scrappy" label.

Joe sees what I see: Craw could probably avg 25 on this team easily and give you 5-6 assists a night.

Wow....

We better sign him; because if y'all havent noticed we are beginning to use a Craw/JJ backcourt in the 4th. That means that Woody is going to become comfortable with this and JJ's minutes are going to start to climb.

We avg about 103 pts a game, without "givin a s***" about offense. The only team that avgs more in the East is Tor and the give up 2 pts more than they score. So maybe Woodson is right if you play D like I want you to, then that 100 pt avg is more than enough to win games. Who cares how we score 100?

I would do a Mo Evans for Andray Blatche swap...I believe Blatche would do damage here, he is a great fit and was sat down recenlty by Flip for complaining about lack of playing time.
