Holy cow, you didn't see him bitching the entire first half? He was begging for a 't', and I was hoping they would give him one, if only to get guys angry.
Outlaw has the lowest net of any player on the team. When he's in the game, we are outscored by an average of 9 points per game. There are only 21 players in the entire league who have a worse impact on their team. Don't tell me he's productive with a stat like that. -Pop
So why didn't you just start yet another thread about Outlaw? Nate didn't play him "extensive" minutes tonight, as you opened your monologue by stating.
So are you going to address the real point of my post - that Travis isn't worth the minutes he's being played - or are you going to play semantics because it suits your opinion better? -Pop
Your thread says "Not one of McMuffin's better efforts tonight." You then open it by wondering when Nate will stop playing Outlaw "extensive" minutes. Only problem? Outlaw didn't play "extensive" minutes, and the team could not score in the 4th quarter with Roy being doubled. I thought it was a silly way to start your rather long point, that's all. I mean, if you are that off in the first sentence, why should I bother to read, let alone comment on, the rest of your post?
no the problem soda is that papag has no real argument or solution, so he'll sit here and have a pissing match with you over the way you worded your first point. to the first point, travis has been clutch in the past and maybe he needs to get some starters minutes because the guy has no clue with the second unit. the minute he touches the ball all movement stops and it becomes travis one on one. at least in the first unit he could stand at the 3-point line and hoist up those. i'll give him credit for this though, he's added the necessary six inches to his shot from last season. nothing pissed me off more than watching him chuck up shots with his heels on the 3 point line.
I offered "arguments" and "solutions" to the only part of the post that I read. You know, the part that you only commented on as well. So here we are in yet another "Outlaw Sucks" thread.
outlaw doesnt "suck" IMO. but he is overrated by our fans. our fans get to emotionally attached to our players.
Starter minutes would be even worse for Outlaw. He's NEVER played well starting in a game alongside LA and Roy, and that's because Outlaw needs to ball to operate. Forget camping in the corner, there's plenty of times this season where Travis should have just caught and shot, but instead passes up the open shot for a step in jumper that usually results in a brick.
i was just tossing that out there since in other threads batum is the worst stater in the league. it does frustrate me when he catches the ball and hesitates, and he does this ALOT. it kills all ball movement. face it, the guy is not smart on the court.
actually i was responding to YOU in the manner that you've hijacked this thread into the first point and his entire rant is now lost.
1. has already been discussed in this thread 2. really the only guys i see move without the ball are rudy and batum. the rest of the guys sit around and wait for the ball to get kicked to them. i agree more movement is needed. 3. I watched this game with my father, who is a huge fan of the SC and it infuriates him when roy takes over a game with his iso game. in this case i had to argue with him because brandon was the only one hitting until LA got going late. I don't understand why blake was playing the two man game with LA and not roy. let brandon get him the ball, if they want to sag off kick it right back and let brandon create. 4. i know i've posted this before sarge was great for the last couple years, exactly what this team needed. a disciplinarian that would knock some sense into our knuckleheads. the time is near when he will no longer be the coach and we will find that guy to take us to the next level.
