Clyde & The Pearl
Starter
Exactly. There is a big time weakness in this team & it's not MDA it's the Center position.
QUEENS1985, MDA doesnt use his center. Let me ask you. Would you rather have STAT try to guard Hibbert while he's in foul trouble or Turiaf/Sheldon Williams? STAT is a bad matchup even if he isnt in foul trouble. A couple of shrewd defensive manuvers and we win this game going away. It wouldnt even be a struggle.
Put the bigs in there and let them bang with a light weight Hibbert. Let Turiaf and Hansborough try to out hustle one another. Turiaf wins some of those battles.
I know your response will be these guys suck. IMHO you ask them to do specific things that they can do and they'll do it well enough. The problem is they dont get asked.
You guys keep thinking we're going to get Jordan, Dalembert or whoever and MDA will use them. First I doubt we get either, because he doesnt want them. Remember he'd rather do it his way. Second if we do neither is the type of big MDA covets. Just look at tonights game. Turiaf does some of the same things Dalembert does, but MDA starts Williams.
Look at the bigs this cat has gone through since he's been here. Curry, Darko, Randolph, Hill, Moz. All could have offered this particular team SOMETHING. Except for Moz forcing his way into the lineup none of them played. Besides Curry they've all been exiled and are now helping their respective teams try to win games.
This coach is a complete JOKE...
