Clifford Needs to Make a Decision. NOW.

[Guest Dark Knight]

Just like I said on the other thread, all of these guys are liabilities on offense. CDR rarely plays, I'm not sure what games you've been watching. Tolliver is one of 3 guys we have that can hit jumpshots consistently. McBob, as much as I want him outta there, is a good passer and decent shooter for a 4. Hendo.... yeah I'm not sure here. Like I said above I guess the FO wants to play him considering the contract.

MKG.. 26 mins

CDR.. 24 mins

McBob couldn't guard a broom & he's useless as a rebounder.

Nobody cares that he constantly jacks up 3s at a low % & can pass. That's not the job of a PF.

[Proudiddy]

Tolliver deserves his minutes.

My gripe is the passes MKG and Hendo are given for absolutely sucking, and for McBob undeservedly eating up Cody's minutes.

As I said, and he showed it again tonight... Cody will make a mistake or two, but he erases them with huge impact plays and does things that shift the momentum. And he plays with heart... find me another big not named Ibaka that moves his feet on defense and runs like Cody does.

Clifford is really pissing me off.

I'm getting close to being on the Zeller bandwagon.

[Guest Dark Knight]

Zeller was the most coveted prospect in the country 2 years ago. He'll be very good once McBob is out of the way.

MKG is frustrating. He plays great defense, rebounds as good as any wing, & is explosive on offense when he wants to be. He just disappears too often & isn't assertive on offense. But he's still only 20 freaking years old so who knows.

[Rise of The Hive]

When I saw Neal was starting I thought for sure I had fallen and bumped my head at some point today and then I learned that Hendo was unavailable, I should have known.

[OchoNueve]

McBob now > Cody Zeller now

 

Cody Zeller Potential > McBob...

 

If we weren't competing for the playoffs, I would agree to start Zeller.  But McBob is better than Zeller in all aspects of the game right now.  And although I am high on Zeller in the future, i have never seen someone get blocked so embarrassing and viciously as Zeller does at least 1-2 times a game.

[OchoNueve]

Also, Neal is better than Hendo and we should be starting Neal at the 2

 

Best 5

Kemba, Neal, MKG, McBob, Al Jefferson

 

Bench (in order when healthy):

Zeller, Hendo, Jeff Taylor, Tolliver, Ridnour, Biyombo, Haywood, CDR, Pargo

[ncrecordkeeper]

Hendo is the one that irks me. Shooting guard that can't shoot from deep.

Cody has looked like a deer in headlights most of the year but he's rounding the corner and looking more natural and comfortable, playing more instinctively. So I think he now needs more minutes.

I like mcbob on this team. He can shoot well enough to keep d honest and draw out a 4. Makes great passes. Kemba is a good pick n roll player but leaves some to be desired in facilitating otherwise. Mcbob makes up for some of that.

Tanking is useless imo. We aren't bad enough this year to have a high enough pick to win big. Even if we did, FO would screw the pick...again. I'm glad we got Jefferson. He's fun to watch operate down low.

The problem is MJ loves McBob, he will probably retire here if it is up to MJ.

In 100% agreement on that tanking paragraph. Al has actually made it fun to watch Charlotte basketball again.

[ItsPantone278]

Zellers flashing a bit and playing hungry. Ive been impressed with Clifford and his team management. I actually think we will be even better down the stretch and in to next season. Zeller will eventually be the starter but for now he's giving us a lift off the bench. When he can do that every night then make him the starter late in the season or next

[wareagleflyboy]

Would anyone still questioning Clifford like to step forward?

[Care-Oh-Linuh]

I like hendo off the bench. Doesn't mean he won't play, he'll just play with a different unit. He's good enough inside the 3pt line that we could even run the offense through him with the second group.

However, he doesn't help against other starters if there not afraid of his ability. Gotta start a guy who can hit the 3 at sg.

On another note, I believe if a player is good enough to be picked top 10, he should start.(I understand if another good player is in place already but that team would rarely make that pick anyways, right?)

People act like rookies are babies and need to be taught everything. Uh.......most of these guys have played basketball their whole lives.

And this doesn't mean he can't still be taught by a vet. All of that stuff is off the court anyways. Just start the man and let him play!! You'll know if he's got what it takes when you give him 30+ mins/g
