This dude... He may be making a difference off-the-ball, but his production with the ball is absolutely horrible. I don't know that I've seen a center throw up so many airballs within 3 feet of the rim. And he has repeatedly done things that completely defy situational strategy and logic. At the end of the game tonight, I believe we were up one, or it was tied, and he got the ball and turned around immediately and threw up a horrible shot as he almost fell into the cameramen under the basket. Then, at the nd of the game, he gets a rebound, down by three, and tries to shoot a two with the ladt shot of the game.

Color me disappointed so far.

I agree and disagree...

He plays good for the first 45 minutes of the game, but the last 3 minutes he was awful. He missed three shots to either tie the game, win the game, or get us within one. He's just a black hole down the stretch.

For the life of me, I don't know why we didn't go to Kemba (10-13) down the stretch.

Aside from my comme t about the airballs, which I've seen him do multiple times over the last week or so, it pretty much is just the end of the game - which is what I was referring to with the situational strategy.

I get that we're paying him to pretty much be the guy, but the way he got the ball when we were tied and immediately turned into a spin and then shot with Gasol all over him was completely retarded. He drove completely under the basket and threw it up into the bottom of the rim. It made absolutely no sense.

Yeah I heard Dell say that they need to go through Al down the stretch... I was like what the hell?

 

He has missed two shots to win the game already and you want to give him a third?

 

What's funny (but not really) is his inability to score down the stretch cost us the game against the Pacers last night as well.

LOL, yeah I'm hoping they've learned now that its good to run the offense through him for the first 42 mins or so, after that, give it to Kemba, Hendo, McBob, or BG.

I think it comes down to the fact that we don't have a "that" guy to go to on this team when it matters.  Big Al I don't think, is going to be that guy.  We need that pure scorer to lay it on.  (No this isn't a commercial for tanking lol).

They are tanking im happy about it too
