Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 3615069, member: 966"] Sidibe being out: I don't think he changes the 3s against us, the bad perimeter d, the lack of first half hustle, the missed bunnies, etc. Yep, a win is a win, but this win revealed some continued concerns. • Sidibe's health is a major worry. • Joe and Buddy are not improved. I'm discounting the lack of practice for two weeks excuse here. They're the same players as last year. • Quincy is better inside. Not better outside. The outside part might change with 'less rust'—fingers crossed, but then again, i'm not sure i want him taking 3s anyway. • Eli to Griffin, not an upgrade, but he's going to have some big games and might become The Man over the course of the season. • Bothers me that Edwards got almost zero time, and didn't look like anything while he was in there. • Bothers me that JBA got zero time. And it's doubly bothersome that he got zero time in a game almost entirely without Sidibe or Edwards. Where Frank[I] did[/I] get a minute. If JBA really has been converted to a Center. What does all of this mean? • It's impossible to quantify any of this, but the two week practice 'penalty' seems like it's only part of the story. Somehow, we played harder/better in the second half, almost—once again—as if we just weren't prepared mentally, came out taking too much for granted against a 'nobody' team, and they smoked us until we started to take things seriously. • You can say JB gave Joe a chance to play himself back into the game. You can also say that JB nearly pissed away the game by not playing the better player, and may be contributing to some bad vibes and chemistry and an early transfer. Just one game, but 'hurt feelings' don't need a season to be established. I wonder if there's a backstory with Kadary. Hope not. Hope we have him for a while. [/QUOTE]
