I liked the way JC was setting guys up in the 1st half and part of the 3rd quarter. Then he decided to play like his buddy Lou in the 4th. Don't follow Lou. Play the right way.
My favorite possessions are the ones where he dribbles for 18 seconds and picks up his dribble without having anyone to pass it to.
Derozan has established his rep there, it's his team and the face of the franchise since Vince Carter. Most players would have done the same thing.
Tunnel vision that's getting worse + absolutely horrendous defense tonight (And for the most part all season)..... Question 1: Has this dude peaked? Question 2: Is it time to explore the trade market on him?
Yes, I believe he has peaked, but I'm not sure he has any trade value. I think with Lou out of the way he's at least as valuable to us as whatever player we could get for him.
I used to like Jordan. Used to. I'll be happy if he's traded. He frustrates me with the dribbling, turnovers and 1 on 5 play.
If Williams is gone, full rein with the second unit...who knows? Clarkson is trying to do too much with limited minutes and opportunities.
But if we think he dribbles a lot now, which he does, imagine what it will be like when and if Lou gets traded and Clarkson is going to one of the main guys for the 2nd unit
If anything, Clarkson is coachable. He takes constructive criticism and works on what needs to be shored up in his game.

I want to see the return of that JC from his rookie season. He had a great mindset and approach to the game.
