Cam passing up on too many shots. 

he was hot, got benched for no reason, now he's trying to find his feel again without forcing it.

He's still learning his spots in this league. you don't bench a guy that hot after only 6 minutes Pierce, especially one that has struggled with his offense as bad as Cam has. Just stupid.

Well damn lol

 

But yea Trae is having a real bad sophomore slump right now

[LK6969]

Can you really blame Trae? Hard to pump yourself up for game after game when you know your HC is complete filth.

I also like how LP literally is ruining Cam's confidence. Also I like how CLP gave up on Alex Len 10 games into the season. Yet continues to have a love affair with Djones, Vince and Bumbry.

Yeah, CLP is such a "player development" coach. Also he's very "defensive minded" too.

CLP is trash. Has Trae given up on that peanut headed fool? My guess is yes. 

In before KG01 asks " WHO WOULD YOU REPLACE CLP WITH?"

My response is literally anyone. Anyone that uses analytics. 

Imagine being awful at your job yet still collecting million dollar checks. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!

Fernando.

Wherefore art my Fernando?

He's not allowed to play the 4.  So when Len and Jones are playing well ( even if we keep losing ), he can't play.

Poor Bruno.

This is the same MO Pierce had last season. He only runs with two bigs. Last season it was Dedmon and Len; this season its Jones and Len. Maybe having three complicates things for him and/or he does not think it gives players enough time to get in a groove.

Start giving some DNPs out while keeping Len going off the bench. A lot of coaches do that when no one is really taking the position by storm. One night start Jones, the next night start Bruno. It cannot hurt anything that is for sure.

Any update on Hunter?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Crabbe is -19 and has contributed nothing.  Carter is -7.

LOL . . and why punish Bembry?  He's been a rotation player all year.  He's helped us far more than Carter, Turner and Crabbe this season.

Agree on that. Bumbry is  ALOT better than garbage VC. Sheesh.

It's more of the fact that he need size at the 4, if he can't get shooting at the 4.  At least give the team a chance to get more offensive rebounds, if another big is in the game.  Bruno has enough lateral quickness to guard Markkanen.  And he can challenge shots on the perimeter.

This game, we're getting nothing out of Parker and Hunter.  Vince isn't doing anything either.  All 3 of those guys can or will play the 4 at some point tonight.

You got the Damian Jones lob fest going right now, but both Jones and Parker move so poorly laterally, that it doesn't matter what they do offensively.  They give it right back on defense.

I'm watching the Bulls feed:

Stacey King:  "Bulls can get any shot they want.  There's no duress.

Nerlens Noel Travis.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result, despite the current result ending in destruction or despair.

The bigs lack of ability to defend the PnR is embarrassing

It's not embarrassing.  It is what it is.  So it's up to the coach to make the adjustment.
