Monty Was terrible tonight . Awful
True, but you never know what Monty actually called in the huddle.
Either way, I'm more impressed with this team after tonight then the Orlando game. There are some huge issues, but I see the potential.
If only we'd give up on hard hedging the PnR. It drives me insane.
The explosive, lean, mohawed EG lost the damn game against the dreaded Mavs.
Dallas was switching everything. And I don't think there was enough time for a set play for a 3. Reke had the hot hand and is really the only guy who can always get a shot off.
It's game 2 and that's a legit playoff team. Not to name call, but the overreaction is really foolish.
Message to Monty:
Bench Eric Gordon and we can win us some games.
I think Monty and the son of a coaching friend are mainly to blame.
offensive fouls lost this game. whether some should have been blocking fouls or not is a different story. but that was the big momentum changer
We also got nothing from our bench. Per usual. It's embarrassing. Rivers and Jimmer were no shows once more. I expect that to be a regular thing. The things we can do with EJ's salary once he's off the books...
I have actually defended Williams in the past but he appears to be regressing. He just looks like a deer in the headlights. He knows that he now has enough talent and thus under more pressure to win. He is crumbling under the weight of the expectations. I don't expect him to be coaching this team next season.
What about giving some credit to Dallas? They are a FAR more experienced team after all.
It's just hard to say we gave our best shot when our most expensive player gave us a 0-1-1-0-0 and 2 fouls in 34 minutes.
Jimmer, is a shooter and for 4 minutes he never had a play run for him. THAT is bad coaching. You have to see what you get game to game. He was rubbing his socks getting warmed up and he had to leave the game. Too funny. I am ambling over to the group that says the guy isn't treated fairly.
I doubt Monty will bench Gordon. Jimmer went 0-6 last game and still saw a few minuets tonight. Besides, I believe Monty still thinks he can get something out of Puddin. Those guys will suffer the same fate.
We lost to a better team.
You realize that benching your starting 2 guard 2 games into the season is absurd right?
Don't be silly, no he didn't. We are a team that as a whole is still struggling to find cohesion on both sides of the ball, find our optimal roles when on the floor with certain lineups, and optimize our lineups and minutes.
Far too much selfish plays that resulted in turnovers. Evans great run means nothing when he takes numerous bad shots in the closing minutes and ignores other guys with better looks. He tried to be Kobe and he isn't Kobe. Ryno needs to be smarter with the shots he takes. Far too many bad contested twos. Salmons is a waste of minutes and gave up a couple points and provided nothing on offense. Rivers is continuing to struggle on both offense and defense. Frankly there was NO reason why Rivers should of been the sole ball handler when the lineup was Rivers, Gordon, Ryno, Davis and Asik and he kept screwing up. That is the perfect time when you give Gordon the ball and let him go to work and try and get him involved after a rough start.
