Matt Carroll-DNP CD
This is the second straight game that I have been watching Matt Carroll closely on the bench during the games. Our game against Pacers and also Magic, we are down 3 with the ball and he doesnt even get a chance to play. Man you would have thought he did something bad to Larry or something, but Larry must hate him. In the Magic game, some of the fans around him said some things and Matt just shook his head and gave a half grin about it. He then started talking to his teammates about it. I assume he will be gone when (not if) we make our next trade. he cant be happy just sitting. Last night was bad also, he was the only one who didnt get off the bench during the 1st half. Collins got in before him. what do you guys think? I know Larry doenst like his game because he isnt very athletic, but we were down 3 and really need a shooter.
for whatever LB really doesn't like him. but then again larry must know what he doing. it's not like we haven't won yet.Originally Posted by bfer
the worst was the magic game. down 3, 1 sec, inbounding the ball with only 2 3pt shooters on the floor. take out crash, diaw, the center doesn't matter. why not put him on the floor?

My wife has been livid that he has not gotten much playing time. She loved him and keeps asking why such a potent offensive weapon doesn't get ANY minutes..... and I have no answer for her.

Simple, Larry's a racist
I'm confused. I thought this was a Matt Carroll thread.

Hilarious!
I didn't figure he'd get much PT here as LB shipped him out on the first bus outta town already. I'm surprised he's getting none though. Matt's probably the worst defensive player on the team, so I'm sure that's playing into it...but you have to think even LB could see use for a gunner every once in a blue moon.
He's pretty much exactly the opposite of what LB considers the preferred type of player for the NBA. LB's in control of the ship, so it is what it is.

Tease his D if you want, point out that hes our token white guy if you must, but don't disrespect the mans ability to rain down points with his sweet jump shot. Something most people would look for on a team that is only averaging 89 points a game!Simple, Larry's a racist

LBs D game style is great but sooner of later we have to put it in the hoop.

All off-season we were complaining about Hendo's lack of PT... now it's Carroll. There's only 48 minutes to distribute at the 2 people...
would rather see Henderson get 40 minutes than Matt Carroll to get 3.
Henderson can play defense, and has potential. Matt Carroll cant play defense, and has 0 potential.
I wasnt saying we should play him a lot, but in 2 games we were down by 3 with less than 10 seconds and he still just sat on the bench. if we dont use him in those situations, when will we? I think we had Derrick Brown in the Indy game and Im not sure who was in at the Magic game.
Larry brown loves 6'8" athletic tweeners who block shots but can't shoot to save their own life. Preferably black.
but Carroll is a 6'5" unathletic white guy who shoots 3s only
