I was at the game and Mo williams was playing out of his mind. He was the reason they won just as much as James. I mean without him hitting all those shots the game easily could have been the blazers to win. It all really comes down to us hitting our FT's and a few more open looks and put backs 2 inches from the basket that just didn't roll our way last night.
Perhaps, but because he has James it allows him to play out of his frickin' mind sometimes... including last night.
Mo Williams is like Chauncy Billups but without the D. Makes some plays, but not a total play maker. Makes big buckets. If you go under the screen he will absolutely make you pay.
Mo Williams is Good. He averages 16/17 ppg and shoots 47/48% (fantastic for a PG who shoots a lot of 3's) Plus he shoots 90% from the line. If he's a scrub? Sign me up - I'd love to have that guy. Anytime you have a PG who can get in the lane and hit those runners (like Mo does) it opens up the floor for everybody. At the beginning of the season, the Cavs made a bid deal about him and his ability to score (take pressure off Labron) Look what he's done. Cleveland has almost the exact same roster as last year - add Mo Williams and a couple of draft picks that aren't doing jack . . . and they've gone from flirting with .500 to 32-8. Mixum, look at the starting PG's around the league. After Paul, D. Williams, D. Harris, Billips, Nash, and maybe a few youngsters like D. Rose or Augustin . . . the next "tier" are guys like Bibby, Andre Miller, Jamir Nelson, Rondo, Jason Terry . . . and your buddy Mo. Look what's left after that. And even though he doesn't normally drop 31 points on you, it's not all that surprising. He was on fire, and some of those runners he was hitting were tough shots. Did we leave him open behind the stripe? Yep, way too much. But you can't play Labron straight up, so that kind of thing can happen. Sometimes good players have GREAT nights.
He's good, but he's not AS good as he showed last night. The point guard defense was just utterly horrible. Sergio loses his man on every possession and Bayless was in major foul trouble.
If Nate had been paying attention and had Bayless go at Mo Williams when he had 5 fouls with almost 5 minutes left in the game, and considering the fact that Mo had fouled Bayless 3 straight times when he went to the hoop, maybe he wouldn't have been in the game to attempt those last several 3 pointers. But he didn't, and the Blazers got burned. Same story, different day.
I 100 percent agree with you. I literally sat in my seat at the game last night with my arms folded from the 10 minute mark of the third quarter pouting because I was so mad at our great Nate Defense!
Its "too" talented (my pet peeve) ....i like how MIXUM had to wait for a neg comment before he posted again
Holy cow, Mixum got owned in this thread. I feel bad for him though, because nothing he says is being taken seriously when some of his points are legit. Oh well... Its entertaining.
All Mixum posts in this thread... In unrelated news Mo Williams makes it onto the Eastern All Star team LINK
LOL at the multiple "Deleted...personal attacks" in this thread...I'm pretty sure what I said wasn't that bad...
