Vafan Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Every day I check the boxscore. The opposing PG is always having a field day. Is Lue playing any defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exodus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 It's funny watching games on LP and hearing the other teams announcers. They give Lue a lot more credit than the people on this board. Once when he went to the bench in the second half they said he had been their best player for the game. They were singing his praises all night. But of course on here nobody notices the 21 pts and 6 assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vafan Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah, but James had 28 and 9. Would Artest improve our defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 and yet again, he was abused by the other teams PG. Mike James probably had a career game tonight. 2 nights in a row the other teams undersized PG comes close to a triple double against Lue. That is a huge reason why he needs to be our backup PG that gets 1/3 of the PG minutes, looking to score while he is in there. Thats pretty much all he does anyway. He has an AI personality where he doesnt get his teammates involved nearly enough and is always looking to score for himself. In the right role he can certainly flourish, but that role isnt as our big minutes PG thats for sure. Unfortunately he is the best we have right now.

sinctybldh Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 In the off season next year Knight better start addressing some problems on this team. Lue needs to go. We already have our short scorer off the bench and that is Salim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kenta Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 LUE has become a defensive liability every since last year when Woody let him be a scorer, because we needed scoring so much!!! Now he can't stop an injured PG that's not playing. I mean he really sucks on defense now. I remember when he only played defense in LA and gave AI fits in the playoffs. That gave him a reputation that he wasn't really deserving of, DEFENSIVE stopper. We should get a 3-way trade with LAL and IND, since LAL wants Artest and Phil loves Lue. ATL sends: Al + Lue ATL receives: Odom + IND's 1st LAL sends: Odom LAL receives: Artest + Lue IND sends: Artest + 1st IND receives: Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Quote: That is a huge reason why he needs to be our backup PG He IS the backup pg, and his D is no worse than Harrington, Zaza or Childress. Everyone was getting lit up tonight, including JJ. They were taking a lot of long jumpers and making them. Lue got 6 assists tonight and 5 last game, playing 30 minutes. That isn't bad. And tonight he got 21 pts on 10 shot attempts. It is funny how the announcers can see what you guys can't. Of course they need a staring pg but they don't have one. You can't blame Lue for that since he signed here to be JJ's backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lue played 25 minutes James played 31 minutes Peterson played 43 minutes You think Lue was guarding them from the bench? Do you think he was guarding both of them at the same time when he was in the game? Toronto scored 35 pts in the first quarter. Was that Lue's fault? He doesn't start in case you forgot.

pathway23 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 yeah but Ivey only played 4 minutes. again Ivey does well and sits.... 4 minutes, 2-2 FG, 2 reb 1 ast 0 TO Lue had 2 TO in his first 12 minutes of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 The reason Ivey doesn't play is because he can't play. Lue played 25 min, got 21 pts and 6 assists. If you think that is a bad job by a backup pg you simply don't know basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Quote: The reason Ivey doesn't play is because he can't play. ???? a) ivey is our best pg defender, something we SORELY need b) ivey comes out and scores 2-6 points in the first 4 mins of every game and then gets benched the rest of the half...how can he show he can play when he gets benched after doing well? maybe those nights he's on he could get 20pts if he got 30mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 I really don't know what the deal is with Ivey. The only thing I can think of is that Woody doesn't like the way he runs the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
