Game 16: Hornets vs. Bucks

of David West this year. This guy is so frustrating. He’s a baby on the court always whining about literally everything. He never backs anyone down in the post. He settles for too many midrange jumpers. Oh and he has no clue how to play defense or get himself into a play. He stands around and does nothing. I’m done defending him. This guy has just quit trying. Trade him for a player that’s a little interested in playing basketball because this guy is a horror to watch while he’s on the court.

I can live with him as our second best player

He is what he is, a 19/9 kind of guy who will never be the most efficient player from the floor. His game is midrange, and that won’t be changing any time soon either. But within the context of his limitations- including defense and his propensity to force the issue offensively when he’s struggling- I’ll take his contributions any day. He’s struggling now, but his shot and above average help defense make him a unique asset.

He hasn’t been good so far this year… at all. I won’t deny that. I just think it wouldn’t be so much of an issue if Devin and Bobby Brown weren’t force fed minutes every game and if Chris Paul wasn’t hurt. West will certainly recover to become a borderline All-Star guy (in my opinion, on the wrong side of the border). And the more this team can start winning games, I think the effort will recover. Hard to give 100% effort when the Browns are chucking/turning it over and the team is struggling against the Bucs. Just my two cents.

At this rate, I reckon Marks can shoot better than him…

There we go DX

Now the dilemma

Does Bower go with the bench, or play the unit he’s been going with for the quarter and let them play the whole 4th?

by JChangNZ on Nov 25, 2009 8:53 PM CST reply actions

by trottsta on Nov 25, 2009 9:03 PM CST reply actions

i cant see the game

but is this stellar defense or disgusting offense contributing to the terrible shooting?

by trottsta on Nov 25, 2009 9:05 PM CST reply actions

Haha

I wouldn’t call it stellar defense at all.
