If Pimple is gone, Pimple Jr will be sent to G-League. I don't know what games you people are watching... he sucks. Max is a better player than him. Man, I'd rather have Max Lewis develop over this bum.
yeah, he's been a net negative on the floor, but i think that's as much about ham's usage as it is about prince. he's a 20mpg backup big wing. he can catch and shoot the three at 40% and defend larger wings. we would have killed to have him a couple years ago!
16 minutes tonight and the Double U for us. Keep his minutes in that range please. 11-0 now when he plays under 24 mins.
I don't know what it is but the +/- doesn't reflect that for whatever reason the team seems to fall apart when he's on the court. He can't be directly blamed for bad TO's from REaves and Dinwiddie but everything tends to just get worse when he's out there. A couple of things is he doesn't really ever cut hard and he's not a good enough ballhandler so he's pretty easy to gameplan for defensive teams so teams can jump the Laker actions quicker. Plus he's allergic to rebounding like Reaves and not a very good defender so he hurts you on defense as well. Sure he's a threat from 3 but I wouldn't be sad if he gets waived.
To be fair to Prince, he was part of that unit that got us back in the game in the fourth, whittling a 21 point deficit down to single digits. Prince can be frustrating when he plays too long but in short minutes he works pretty well. I like him at 15-20 minutes off the bench. That’s his sweet spot.
He had some really questionable decisions tonight. Defensively against Kawhi and Russ. Dancing behind the arc. I really wonder who he sees in the mirror due to Ham’s unwavering devotion. Not sure how he ended up as a +3, I think Cam and Hayes lifted him up.
Yeah that why his +/- wasn't bad but he was really bad outside of those minutes and frankly it was just one of those I'm Lebron James and I don't care who I have on the court with me but I'm not going to be embarrassed by Kawhii so everyone get out of my way runs.
This man thought he was Iso Joe in the first Q and the start of the second. Ham's confidence in him is getting to his head. Wild.
He's getting close to being unplayable: he played like he thought he was Middleton this game and he wasted 4 or 5 possessions doing something stupid
I mean I can't imagine Phil Jax or Spoelstra just keep letting him take some of these shots. The margin of error is too small against these really good teams like Denver where you can just have a roleplayer waste multiple possessions like he's been doing. Ham needs to sit him down and let him know he's a good player and he should play to his strengths not try be something (i.e. Kris f***ing Middleton) he's not. The fans always love guys who try hard in their roles
Did u see the shots he took? 4 shots were so bad that they might as well have been TOs. Have to win as many minute as you can against Denvers bench
If anyone missed it, here's a reenactment (It was nice of trade demand weight Harden to film that for us)
D'Angelo's 1-5 in the 2nd half didn't help either. He makes over triple Prince’s salary. 12 minutes are still only 12 minutes. Are you complaining about Dinwiddie and Reddish both playing more minutes, and going a combined 2-7? You guys need to stop trying to blame Prince for everything.
Gotta make shots to beat Denver period. He wasn't the only one that came up lacking in that regard. I'm just curious as to why Prince is being targeted. He played less minutes than everyone except Hayes.
