I've faced the fact that this years team is horrible. I look at the stat sheets. Too many turnovers, poor shooting, poor defense. But...........
Why in the world is Monty not playing Landry. I don't know which game it was, but it seems like his anti-Landry approach started a few games back when he and Kaman combined for something like 3-20 fg's. I know everyone has a bad game here and there, but putting him in the dog house game after game won't help. And his defense can't be as bad as Kaman's. Landry did an admirable job defending one of the best in Pau Gasol for 6 straight games in the first round last year. There is definitely something wrong if Monty is continually giving Marco chance after chance, but he can't do that for Landry. And Thornton last year for that matter.
When Marco had his shooting slump of historic proportions last year, Monty sent him to the bench. For about 4 games. He still gave him decent minutes. He needs to be giving Landry decent minutes as well. He's our best offensive weapon with Gordon out.
It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if Monty is really cut out for a head coaching gig. Yes, we made the play offs last year, but he's throwing instant offense out the window. He ran Thornton out of town. I can see him doing the same with Landry if this doesn't improve. The worst part is we got Landry for Thornton. And no, none of this is tanking. We're not tanking.
