Blake gets minutes because he's supposed to be a shooter yet he's only shooting 35% this season. That's not good. He also misses every big shot. He also plays no defense. He's killing the team.
Why there is a question between him and Andre Miller is fucking mind boggling. It should be Andre and Rudy in that starting lineup.
He got us the big lead. He was throwing lobs and got us lots of the easy buckets Charles Barkley says we don't get. It's sad because it was his best game of the season until those last few minutes.
There shouldn't be a question. Blake is clearly not as good as Miller yet he still plays and misses way too many wide open shots for being a shooter. The whole reason he gets minutes over Miller is because he's supposed to be some good shooter yet he continues to fail. It's terrible.
Unfortunately the only way to cut down Blake's minutes will probably be to trade him because I don't see Nate limiting him to about the 15-20 minutes a game he should be getting.
Blake doesn't just bring shooting. Blake was the master playmaker tonight. He was the guy who was finding way to get us easy baskets.
Everyone should hear everything in Bill Walton's voice. With Calvin's facial expressions as an extra piece.
That isn't the norm. It's actually very rare. Plus Andre Miller can make those same passes. Blake is in there because he's a "shooter". He's just not good enough of a shooter for the role.
The notion that our PG MUST shoot 3s is fucking horrible. The game of basketball is won under the arc, not above. So fucking what, with what Andre can't bring in his 3 point shooting he can bring with defense, rebounding, better penetration, better passing, and better finishes at the rim. It's fucking retarded on so many levels.
if you dismiss the fact that being able to spread the floor with good shooting makes it easier for the team to succeed inside the 3 point line, then yes "it's fucking retarded".
The trade-off is with Roy, not Blake, if Miller starts without Blake and his 3pt shot there also. It means Roy has to be the designated 3pt shooter to open the defense and let the inferior Andre be the go-to-the-basket guy. It's a total downgrade of our offense. Might as well trade Roy for a pure 3pt shooter.
lol....reading these last few pages was much better than paying attention in class Its too bad EVERYBODY is allowed to post on the internet
