this would be true for hedo when he played...
but its not nearly as bad in this case, we got injuries, and Kleiza has shown he has the ability to score, atleast when hes open...
He had a bad game tonite... lass few games he was good on the offensive side, not so much defensely, but u take what u can when we have soo many injuries.
Oh and as Matt52 above me said, his contract aint exactly... big

I would have to agree that based on his play at the World's and pre season that injuries maybe a factor in his play (and others). I may not enjoy the inability to make plays but certainly not the effort. Hedo on the other hand...different story. That guy begged off day 1 due to fatigue because of his summer and then dogged it....and we dont even need to discuss contract terms.

Why? The same reason Barbosa still gets touches, both are here as scorers on a team lacking in talent. If Kleiza could improve his efficiency, there isn't any reason why the guy can't average 20/10. He really needs to start hitting those open 3's, its ugly.-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."

Up until tonight he had been averaging 19/9 the last 6 games.

Oh yeah, injuries.
All things considered Linas has been doing a pretty good job picking up the slack for this team. I can deal with a bad game every once in a while.
