I don't think they have found the right lineups for him yet.

I dont think we havent found a right line up yet period. Its so damn obvious we lack offense in our starting line up. Yes jr had a good month shooting but was shit again the last few games.

Till kevin love comes back. Start nance lebron cedi hood and hill. Hood so far seems a much better scorer then jr. Cedi and nance provide defense and nance also helps the offense with rebounding screening and simply starting good offense from good defense.

This would take away offensive pressure from cedi. He can take what is coming his way and just focus on defense and transition.

Jordan will not have to fight over shots with hood on the second unit.

Totally agree. Cedi is not the problem at all. If anything he is keeping the starting lineup from imploding with his defense.

I think it is pretty obvious that Hood should replace JR right now. He needs more touches and everyone in the starting lineup is getting them, but can't be relied to score. JR can be guarded closely with giving up the dribble as he is not a good decision maker. You can't do thta with hood as he is threat off the dribble and in the midrange. He is also more of a playmaker than JR.

Hood has so many 30 pt games, even this year. Jr doesn't. He just isn't that kind of scoring threat. We should not have a guy that could probably average 20 not getting enough touches. He can take over a game and the starting lineup badly needs that guy. I think the bench will be fine without him. He is not getting enough touches there anyway.

Totally agree.

Clarkson, Korver, JR, Green would be a great bench with lots of options.
 
Remember the Game when LBJ had 4 fouls mid-2nd quarter?
Fuckin' NBA Refs.
 
There are reasons for his foul trouble....some legit, some not.

Bottom line.....for a heavy-weight favorite in significant prime-time games continually, he's a sitting duck for an official that needs to show impartiality.

It sucks.......cause so many of the fouls he picks up, are humorous in comparison to the contact a guy like LeBron takes on a regular basis without getting the whistle. But he also needs to learn.....if he wants to establish himself, he legit has to go the extra mile to play clean and not give the ref a single reason to blow the whistle. For a variety of reasons, confirmation bias mostly, he won't get the benefit of the doubt on 50/50 calls until he's established as an NBA pro. It's just the way it is.

This goes across all leagues BTW. The confirmation bias in the NFL might be the worst, IMO.
 
He likes to use his body a lot in positional defense i.e. chest people up and he reaches at times.

Cedi plays an agressive style which gets the offense into a frantic flow and can create turnovers, this along with his backcourt pressure puts some heat on the opposing offense. All around he just needs to hone in a few things and he's on track to do so. Really been enjoying him knocking down those open threes here of late, he's really creating his own role on the fly, very impressed.

Cedi is usually in good position , he just needs to contest and realize he's job is done instead of reaching because that results in offensive players creating the contact (switching arm positioning mid-air contacting Cedi's). The league is currently suffering from a talent gap when it comes to competent referee's. These idiot should go assert their dominance in college ball or apply for the NFL where their autocratic desires can be fulfilled.

Kane Fitzgerald is probably the worst currently but Tony Brothers and Holtkamp are awful as well, there is a another guy who looks like a bodybuilder who is also terrible.

Some of his fouls have been totally on the refs. Horseshit. He is also seemingly the only one to take a foul to stop the break which is my faborfav thing.
