Asik shows potential and Korver can shoot, but the rest of the bench is underwhelming. I don’t see CJ as a back-up point guard, he doesn’t look good under pressure.

zilla –

Thanks, and I agree that there are plenty of reasons to like Taj as a back-up PF. I am being rather critical, but given his reputed work ethic, I would expect to minimally see him improve his free-throw shooting. Also, it is excruciating to see him regularly fumble passes and loose balls, though I don’t know whether significant improvement can be made in that area through practice.

Loved it Tony, but I gotta respectfully disagree about Taj. He’s hitting his jumper when he takes it now (hit his ceiling?) and playing good ball on both ends in general. The great part is that his one problem (you are right, the fouls are pretty bad) is one thing I fully expect Thibs to be the guy to help with almost immediately! It’s just a coincidence I’m happy to have that our backup big man’s biggest problem is one we DEFINITELY have the coaching staff to fix.

Also, definitely right about Bogans. You don’t always notice him on the floor, but that’s a hell of a lot better than saying “Bogans is getting lit up” every game, which is what I expected to say about our SG after we let Hinrich go.

Don’t be too hard on Taj, he has taken over the Bulls standard 1st quarter offensive set breakdown that turns into a 1 on 1 iso for powerforwards/centers. This play used to belong to ben wallace, tyrus, joakim, etc. These plays usually were laughable and deflating. Taj has pulled off some nice spin moves and mid range J’s when plays break down to help the bulls not lose steam early in the ballgame.

VDN had two years of on the job training.

Clippers needed a coach and he’s not that expensive.

Brad and C.T. –

Imagine my amazement when another NBA team jumped at the chance to hire VDN! I actually feel quite sorry for Blake Griffin…

Nicely done, Tony C. …although I must admit: I think I am going to miss your “VDN Time-out Performance Reveiws”. Catch any Clippers games lately???
