Just keep one of the young bigs in the game.  I bet one of them can get an offensive rebound.

Instead, we keep these bricklaying wings in the game.

 

No reason why Okongwu shouldn't play 25 minutes tonight, at least.

 

23 - 7 rebounding edge now.   Still ZERO offensive rebounds.

Gwu 15 min restriction.

LP needs to do the opposite of what he wants to do. Get Cam the f*** out. Go big with Gallinari, Collins, Okongwu, Hunter and Huerter/Rondo/Goodwin.

Let Hunter run point...He is doing a better job than everybody else combined!

[NBASupes]

Does anyone really think the Bucs will beat the Chiefs in the super bowl?

[terrell]

Nothing from 2 guard spot offensively..

Heck no.

Why cant we hit threes? It's so annoying.

[Peoriabird]

29-12 rebounding advantage!  Time to go smaller!

They are not in rhythm 3's.  Just jacking them up like LP like it!

Cam really really gotta work on his shot. It's so inconsistent on a night to night basis. A big part that would help is if he would consider the possible of passing the rock. 8% assist rate, everyone knows you will shoot. It works if it's like last year in Jan and after when you are making shots but when you aren't. You just muck up things. 

 

Cam looked good at times last year, when they would run pick and roll with him as the ball handler.  I wish he was in that position a little bit more, looking to facilitate, than just being a tough jumpshooter off the dribble.

Rushed/not in rhythm 3's are low percentage shots.  plus look at who is taking them.

Honestly the 25 attempts aren't really the problem, it's the 5 makes that pose the real concern. 

At some point you'd think LP would recognize what they do well and what they don't do well. 

Also rhythm 3s are fine. Jacked up 3s by Cam or Rondo aren't.

He doesn't have consistent mechanics.

His teams are always like this.  High volume, low percentage

Cam just needs time to get back in rhythm. He's too sped up right now.  

I don't understand why some want to pit Hunter against him.  Hunter has looked excellent.  Huerter needs to step it up too.

Okongwu has looked pretty great on defense all things considered.

That means Bruno . . or Solomon Hill starts the 2nd half then.   Gwu is already at 12 minutes.

[JayBirdHawk]

we had a better 2nd quarter, 32-34...the difficulty is the 1st quarter got down so big.  our defense needs a spark to cut the lead.

[terrell]

Cam and Huerter playing like they dont want the starting 2 guard spot..smh

[Peoriabird]

I have no idea why posters continue to think that one of the keys to victory is shooting a lot of 3's.  That is just bad basketball!

this is what LP said about minutes:

 

SO I would think Gwu limit is no longer 15 minutes
