This is why you don't play Salim

[BHayley]

In that second quarter, that Acie Law and Salim backcourt was getting eaten alive. I was worried as soon as I saw that tiny backcourt we'd have truoble. I don't know if it was Salim's fault, but that was awful

What is up w/ Salim? It's all or nothing w/ him. He needs to be traded to a team where he can get consistent minutes while he still has some trade value. He could net us someone who would help out a little more I believe.

[DrReality]

have suggested this for years, but it is less likely to happen how than ever with our think guard corp. If he could play consistent minutes he could be decent for the second team.

Our coach is an idiot, Salim should be on the floor with JJ or JC.

Doesn't matter who he's with, he will chuck it up whenever he has a look.

This is what I was talking about the other day. That's what his job is, to come in the game and put up shots. He's not a PG. He's an Eddie House / Barbosa type player. They only have one job . . . to score. If they're cold, they might hurt your team. If they're on, they can extend a lead or get you back in a game. People who adovcate him getting more PT, have to live with this. He's going to have games like the one he had Saturday night.

Interesting thing about the Law - Salim backcourt though. They actually played much better defensively, than they did offensively. But I agree that Salim should play with a bigger guard like JJ.

I like Salim, I just hate it when he chucks early in a shot clock or before a play can develop in the half court. And he has a good game off the dribble when he actually uses it.

He should be running around like a mad man looking for shots, but he needs to be smarter about when he takes them. Late in the shot clock - good. When he's wide open - good. One the first pass of a possession when our offense is out of rythym and we need to get a good look at a high percentage shot - very very bad.

I loved seeing him pump fake the three, drive it to the lane and get fouled in the last game. He has a floater that's very effective, but it's underutilized.

I agree that he should only play next to JJ unless the other team's going with a small back court.
