White Randolph Williams Playing Time Problems With Doc Rivers (NO DNP)

[gar]

Wilcox has the highest shooting % in the league; but is lucky to see 15 min. a game. I don't get it. Especially when you can play wilcox and kg together. Need practice bodies for sure and you need to rely on Danny and Doc to see what is happening on and off the court on offense and on defense.

Bass is late on rotations and his offense has been pretty spotty.

More Wilcox, Randolph and White. Less Bass from where I sit.

There's this thing called practice.

I don't see why you'd think we would make a decision on how somebody fits with our team based on 10 minutes together in a game.  Getting Wilcox back in a rhythm is our main priority considering he's gonna going to be our only productive big outside of KG and Bass no matter what.

from reading some of the comments here defending Doc Rivers you would think Celtics are the only team with a defensive scheme. Why is it always the Celtics system that is so difficult for new players to learn.

If this is truly the case maybe the scheme should be simplified. What is the purpose of a scheme that cannot be taught.

The scheme obviously can be taught. It has yielded 1 championship, 2 Finals appearances, 3 ECF appearances, 5(soon to be 6)playoff appearances and two of the best defenses ever(in 2007-08 and 2011-12(before Bradley went down in the playoffs), in just 6 seasons.

It can be taught, but not to everybody and not quickly.  I just pretty much assume that it takes half a season for most players to figure it out, so the lack of continuity of bench players is a problem.

I'm okay with the idea that inability to grasp the defensive schemes will result in decreased playing time.  I like Doc's bias towards defense over offense.

I don't know, but whatever Doc does irritates me very easily these days. Such as running KG to the ground when it's unnecessary. Or sticking with cold-players over hot players on the floor.

Yea, I was wondering the same thing. What's up with that Nick?

  The year KG hurt his knee might be the only recent year we weren't top 3 in defense lately. I'd find something other than our defensive schemes to criticize.

[jsingh1699]

as multiple people have said, 2 reasons why doc hasnt played them much:

1. they dont know the defense yet (we've seen how he reacts when guys miss assignments during games)

2. 3 day rest prior to this game, 3 day rest after this game (GS game im talking about)

he wanted to secure the W. obv if it was like the phx game, randolph white and t-will would have played.

though it is interesting j-craw finished off the game. i guess cause hes been playing nba level game this season whereas the other 3 have not, he got a little more burn early on.

C'mon, folks, don't you know the rules of the T-Ball League?  Every kid has to play in every game.  Otherwise, we risk damaging their self-confidence and self-belief.  We can't have that.

I've been wondering that too.  I think it has to do with 'Lakers' being his Pick-2 team -- which I think is a CBlog fantasy league.

Nonetheless, there is no reason for a Lakers logo on these boards. I get physically ill each time Nick's posts now. And I think the quality of his posts has deteriorated significantly since adding the logo.

Pick Two Draft (see his sig).

 As the poster above said, that's no excuse! I think his posts have deteriorated since using the lakers logo, I automatically think it's a troll when I see that logo!
