easy for us to say i guess.... nice play though, Kemba to be honest, just showed the Raptors how to rub off a scree correctly.

Patterson might be smaller, less athletic, uglier, and a whole bunch of other things, but he knows the play, understands positioning and performs the role he is out there to to.
My whole point is that Casey's priority is to try and win the game and not to give JV the minutes we all would prefer he have over other guys that likely won't be here in the teams future. In order to win you sometimes have to play the less talented player that knows what they are supposed to do in the scheme of the defense, as opposed to the more talented player that doesn't always have a clue. JV is being brought along slower than we like, but he's getting a good amount of minutes and it's a long season.
in case you're wondering, patterson is a brutal defender. it's been a constant knock on him since he entered the league, and is why he's been given away numerous times since being drafted. but hey, EXPERIENCE!!! TRUTHINESS!!! cling to the mysticism!TRUE LOVE - Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.

Andrea was unleashed and we went on to have the worst D in NBA HISTORY! When it comes to D I will never doubt Casey. I'm pretty sure we're a top15 Defensive team. After the way Patrick Patterson and AJ shut down Boozer the last game I don't blame Casey for to them over JV. Patrick is Stronger, Quicker, and has more experience. Amir is just Amir. There should never be a complaint about Amir playing more than JV. Never!

JV has to communicate that screen and call the switch (which should be obvious with 1 second left). Either way, glad he was on the floor to experience that misstep. Will only make him better.
As has been stated, if Jonas is going to be out there, it's weird he's not defending the in-bounds pass, where he has the most size/length to disturb it, and since he wasn't, it's strange having him out there at all. Not to mention it's the simplest assignment to give the most inexperienced guy as well.
Sidenote: I have been thoroughly unimpressed by Lowry's D, and leadership on both ends since he came to this team. He is not any kind of floor general. He has poor body language, and there have been a few times when you see him getting into his teammates for mistakes that were clearly his. Guy is producing decently and not as fat/bad as last year, but I can't wait for him to be off this team.Last edited by white men can't jump; Fri Dec 20, 2013, 01:31 PM.

You and I and everyone else at the forum that doesn't care much for where this season is headed may want to see JV get minutes, but you must realize the coach has an agenda which includes winning first right?You come at the King, you best not miss.
