Henderson, but not a surprise to me. I never knew why we got him and I still don't, as he fills no need in any way for us. I guess Neil thought some sort of miracle change was going to occur in his game.
Uhh... he carried us for two weeks there during the season. I don't see what you don't see in Henderson, how 'bout them apples? Damnit... now I have to watch Good Will Hunting for the 100th time! God I love that movie.
Overall the 2nd unit as a whole they don't have no confidence at all especially on the offense. It tells me what you seen in regular season that all they got. Playoffs you put it another gear because the other team will and the 2nd unit don't have that gear.
Crabbe and its not even close. I think Aminu will have a game he gets hot and surprises us. But even when he doesn't he still provides great defense and rebounding. Griffin couldn't do a thing against him last game. Very underrated how critical that was to our win. Glad he's continued to fire some threes every game. Ed Davis has been ok; not bad but not his usual good production. The problem with Crabbe isn't just that he's missing; he's not even attempting shots. He's playing hesitant and scared. He's had a decline the second half of the season but now its gotten really bad.
Henderson is a great player..he's done a lot on defense and can get you double digit scoring off the bench...I wouldn't judge G by the first two games against the Clips in this series..I like what he brings...same with Chief..those guys frustrated Blake the last two games...Crabbe just hasn't had the impact Henderson, Harkless and Aminu have had from what I've seen..he's not givin' us much so far anyway
The whole bench pretty much has been MIA offensively. Eventually Crabbe and Hendo will hit shots though, so I'm not too worried.
considering how woeful the first 2 games were, there are a number of people that deserve to be mentioned, and rightly so. overall, I'd give the nod to Crabbe, although his decline started a while before the playoffs.
I hope this playoff series lowers his offseason price a LOT or I will wave good bye if he gets offers near 10 mil
I haven't seen Leonard once. If he would just get off his ass and show us what he is made of we would win this series. Hands down Leonard.
...isn't this Henderson's first playoff experience as well? It's not surprising that the "shooters" like AC and Hendo are struggling a bit considering the stage they are both on for the first time. Guys like Aminu and Hark (and even Davis to a lesser degree) that rely more on their hustle/effort tend to do much better during the playoffs. The good news is that our supporting cast hasn't scored as well as they normally do. This bodes well for the Blazers being able to put it all together for once in this series. If this happens, then they will blow the Clippers out of the gym in Game 4. A likely scenario given that LA's old aging team is on short rest and there is no way in hell they will continue getting the favorable ref whistles on the road!
Well, it's not really true. His raw rebounding numbers are good, but most of his rebounds are uncontested. In reviewing them it looks like he had: Game 1 - One contested rebound Game 2 - Three contested rebounds Game 3 - Two contested rebounds He's played good defense in G2 and G3 - but aside from defense he's not providing us anything.
And then watch him become an 18-20 ppg player for another team. Look what Harden did after sucking in 2012 Finals and getting traded. He became an All Star starting shooting guard.
