Cut Mason Jr. and bring in one more big that can bang & play a little. Send Moz to the D-league for development..Really not a whole lot to complain about right now though..Nice job tonight...Can't have a letdown these next 3 games -- @ TOR Sun, Minny at home on mon, then TOR at the Garden on Weds..3 winnable games..I want all 3.
I actually think Moz was caught not thinking about who was around him. He had to realize that Mbenga was a shotblocker, but he probably didn't know. The other mistake he made was going up soft and also not using the pump fake to get the defenders in the air. He wasn't wide open on those rolls to the basket. He'll learn from this and hopefully he'll realize that he needs to go hard at the basket or pump fake to draw the foul. Just don't put up weak attempts inside.
You've got a keen eye for detail Nix, but I just don't see it bro..He looks lost at sea to me out there..Talking to my friend Big Al during the game and he feels the same way you do, that's he's basically giving us solid minutes. He's encouraged and he sees major promise..I see the upside too, I just don't think he's ready yet for NBA basketball...Like I said earlier in the thread, maybe some day (he's got some ability to work with & build on) but he's just not helping us the way he should...Earlier in the season I was angry at Ray, TD and co. for not getting him the ball when he was open and I said so --- now, it seems like once or twice a game he's getting the ball in good position and he's just not cashing in AT ALL..Different situation now..Couple that with some soft defense -- I just think he needs the NBDL to help him improve his overall game..Hey maybe he comes back an improved player..That would be the goal..In the meantime get me another dirty-work big to compliment STAT. I can think of several real good options..
