Boards and turnovers

[dav7z]

In S.I.'s NBA preview edition, part of their scouting report for each team was to ask another team's scout to talk about each team. For the 'Cats, the scout said this



We want that to come off the bench? No. He does way to much on the offensive end, and man-to-man defensively. No way Lexy is ready to start 82 games, either.

dav, LB needs something to whine about. TC is a better rebounder than Mek, and I fully expect him to average a double-double if healthy. Diaw should get 6 boards pg again, and Crash should get about seven. For our pace of play, that's huge. Like I said, I'm not concerned about that.

TO"s, with Boris you're going to get them because of the way he makes plays, and he make's great plays. But it's the other guys who have high TO numbers that we need to cut down on.

I fully expext to see Boris start . Thing is Boris can play about any position.
Consider rebounding .
Who do we start . Whitch team is better on defence?

Do you start a back court of Felton and DJ ........ Felton and Henderson or Felton and Diaw , Playing Lexy at the four position .


Dav, all so made sence saying 21 turnovers is way too many .

So whos the best fit in place of Bell ??

[dav7z]

I for one will hate a starting back court of DJ and Felton
Small ball is a gemic . I prefer either Hendo or Lexey.

i think that with boris and tc still recovering these first 2 games will help determine where lexi will be for the rest of the year(d-league or nba). He should get some decent playing time. He looks like he has improved alot all he needs to do is become a banger down low. But if he can play well then i expect we will get more rpg

I doubt anyone goes to the Dleague this year unless bad things start happening with the young guys and we can pick up or trade for better players...

I've skipped through this and my feeling is, TC will box out, Diaw will be close enough to make it matter and Gerald will be flying all over the place. If you are into fantasy basketball get Raymond Felton. He will be rebounding this year. The rebounds will come from all positions and Mr. Glass will be boarding them as well as anyone and the guards will be looking to run, everyone will. Expect it and watch it won't be the simple old PF and C get 10 or 15 per game each.

I really don't think diaw could play pf though. He is only fast for a pf or c and really more than being super fast he wears you out with his constant running around. He can play 5 positions and maybe should at times depending on matchups, but during his career most of the best matchups seem to have come at the pf.

I did he's my starting PG.....

[WAM9]

Given our current roster, Diaw will 100% be our starting PF.

Teej you said..."TO"s, with Boris you're going to get them because of the way he makes plays, and he make's great plays. But it's the other guys who have high TO numbers that we need to cut down on." Diaw led the team with 1 TO for every 12.4 minutes played....Ray is next at 1 TO for every 13.5 minutes played and it drops considerably after those two...they are the main culprits for TOs...at least they were last year and they bothe need to cut them down...but Diaw (again IMO) just makes as many dumba** plays as great ones so frankly he has never impressed me...and the MVP of our team is major BS...when Crash was injured in LA the next several games Diaw all but disappeared...

[teej]

^I was kind of shocked to read that too, as I think Crash does more, but Diaw was without a doubt second. No way mek, Ray or Raja did more.

As for the to's, Boris is the only guy on the team I've seen who can make great passes. I'm willing to excuse the bad ones, becuase a lot of that was miscommunication leading to drops rather than boneheaded stuff on his part. My only complaint is he doesn't shoot enough.

As for Ray, he has a lot to work on with to's, so do Vladi, Stevie Wonder, DJ, and Crash. They all looked horrific in the preseason turning it over. DJ actually had more than Ray in the preseason...
