So Long Jordan Clarkson ( aka Chucky McJumperson)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He'll bring it game 3 & 4 . he'll be better on the Road
 
Looked passive out there. Maybe Rodney and George are rubbing off on him..
We’re you afraid to mention Nance as well due to possible negative repercussions felt from the homerism? It’s okay, I’ll say it for you . Nance sucked as well and his 15 minutes of Cleveland fame is about up if it hasn’t expired already.
 
He needs more shots

He can create off the dribble

King will neee that
 
Isn't it amazing how so many players get drastically worse when they arrive here? Seriously, look at his stats pre-post Cavs... now think about how well he played in his first 2 Cavs games (Boston and OKC), to how he plays now.

How can our staff literally make players worse?

Never practice, never coached or taught anything , this is why they all get worse since the second they arrive here. Plenty of players this year including some of the more recent guys talked about how shocked they are at that we basically don’t practice or do anything but watch some film.

Add that to the trash schemes they’re telling them to run and this is what you get, a team that will be infinitely times better if it wasn’t told to do anything and just play free and thoughtless, Lue himself said that maybe it was a mistake to implement his stuff on the new players because they were playing better without it, his words not mine.
 
He's a role player with a shaky handle, streaky jumper, and bad vision. These first two games aren't a surprise.

Watch the Richard Jefferson interviews. It's not the coaching, it's the style and pressure that comes with playing on the same floor as the GOAT. Jefferson aptly explains exactly why some players thrive when they come to play with Lebron, and some players aren't cut out for it, or need a lot of time to adjust their mentality. The bar of expectations is set at getting to the finals and anything else is failure.

You and others just like to blame absolutely everything on coaching, when the reality is much more complex. You guys are the worst kind of back seat driving Monday Morning quarterbacks. You're not in the building with these players, and you can't possibly know all the factors that go into the way things are on a Lebron James team.

These kinds of mental adjustments are going to come a lot slower and harder for guys like Clarkson and Hood than for other more veteran players. That is, if they even manage to make the adjustments in time while Lebron is still here.
 
People that just want to blame the coaching are looking for a cop out.

There's a reason LeBron always leans towards vets with a track record. You're seeing it play out with guys like Clarkson, Hood and Nance. The playoffs and no regular season are totally different games.

Eh bullshit. Stevens has Horford and a bunch of rookies up 2-0 on the Bucks.

While I agree that our new guys are underwhelming, they're not being put in the best position to succeed either because of the simpleton they have to refer to as "coach" on a daily basis.

This. Bingo.

Horford is a role player who isn't an alpha, he is just a veteran who is a very good complimentary player and he fits within a system. There's a reason he never was and never will be an NBA finals MVP.

Lebron IS the system on any team he plays with, and everyone else has to figure out how to fit in around whatever he's doing in any particular game. Players who are used to playing in a more structured system, having sets run for them, and doing so in the relatively low pressure setting of the regular season are in a completely different situation.

It's apples and oranges.

That's why you need to play him next to LeBron, he needs less responsibility.
 
This is Al Horford's TENTH postseason, and he's made it out of the first round in half of those appearances. He's a damn good player on both ends that people don't give credit to because TT and Love own him. Both Jaylen and Rozier were a part of their run last year. Not a huge part, but a part nonetheless. Ditto for Monroe and Morris.

What part of FIRST YEAR IN THE POSTSEASON do people not understand?


Also, why are we talking about Boston like the Bucks aren't fucking miserable?

I actually don't hate the idea of Clarkson playing more minutes with the first unit, but I don't think you need to start him. Just bring him in for Hill early, then bring Hill back in to start the 2nd quarter.
