Taurean Prince Discussion: Bucks

The game isn't won in the 1st half either Jones. Russell shot 2-7 outside of the 2nd quarter, that's not going to get it done as the starting PG on this team. It's obvious at this point, that the magic 5 that you keep alluding to, can't guard a parked car.

These guy have to score, that's the only thing that will overcome the fact that, Austin, Rui, and D'Angelo, are weak defensively, as a trio.

Lebron is 39 years old, and I complain about his D on many occasions, but when he's locked in, he's still a better defender than those 3 guys.

Austin and Rui stepped up in the 2nd half, Russell was a no show. He shot 20% from the floor (1-5, 0-3 from deep)with 1 assists. That's not an example of having a good game IMO.

The numbers just suck with Russell against Denver period. He's played 6 games here against them, all losses, and he's avg 37% from the field, 29% from 3, with 4 assists per game. On top of his nonexistent defense. That's why I target him in these games. He's flat out sucked.

We are supposed to expect more from D'Angelo man, he's our starting PG, run the team, score some points, get some assists, TRY to defend somebody. He constantly fails on all 3 against that team.

 

Because he was awful in the minutes he played and he took shot attempts that would make Lebron blush

 

Did you somehow miss AD, D'Angelo, Cam and Spencer's 2nd half performance?

Lol..man Prince played 4 minutes in the 2nd half. He took 1 shot.

We were up 8 at halftime, those 8 minutes he played couldn't have been that bad.

 

I thought those guys at least had a fair share of positive plays.

Prince was bad across the board IMO.

 

That's because you saw what you were already predisposed to see Pioneer.

Can't blame a guy that played 4 minutes and took 1 shot, for blowing the lead.

That's just my 2 cents.

 

b******* on this one. I definitely state positive things about players I don't particularly like Rui when they do well. Feel free to check the thread. I'm probably one of the least anti Prince guys in this thread as well

I also watched the game and pointed that out of his 5 shot attempts 4 of them were just bad shots period. If you persist on using a nonsense argument like this you're welcome to argue with someone else but it won't be me

 

Shrug it's not an argument IMO. I'm trying to get some clarity on the point. Missing a shot doesn't make it a bad shot. Each of the 4 shots he took in the 1st quarter were good shot attempts, he just only made 1 of them. The 1 shot attempt that he had in the 2nd quarter, was also a good shot, he just missed it.

Dude had 2 drives to the rim, 2 rotation 3's and 1 pull up jumper in the 1st half. Which of the 4 do you deem, to have been bad shots then?

 

SMH..Yeah...I still get caught up, talking about stuff, in the wrong thread sometimes. My bad.

Russell played half of the 4th quarter tho , he just didn't take any shots. I guess Ham decided , that he wanted to see what Reddish and Dinwiddie could do, over Russell and Prince. Idk..

Back to the topic of the thread...I don't think Prince was a negative or positive impact in that one. Wasn't good, wasn’t terrible IMO.

 

Prince is poverty level, south of a poor man’s Middleton…

 

…. “another” strange hill

 

I do get it, this is the Prince thread. Big picture tho, Prince isn't some kind of hill at all, he's just a distraction IMO.

Last night was a microcosm of our season. We are in the game, with an opportunity to win late, if we execute. Then we go out and fail to execute down the stretch, with the ball in our best players hands to boot.

That's not a Prince issue IMO. I just find it weird, that this guy, gets a lot of the vitriol spewed in his direction after a loss. I'm looking at the guys higher up the food chain myself. However it's his thread and he did go 1-6.

 

Balled out today for sure.

 

Excellent excellent game in all aspects. Keep it up, Pimple Jr.

 

.... who are you and why would you have wanted anything to do with whatever you have done with Zen?? Good luck with that!

 

I am harsh, but fair.

 

Much better showing.

Didn't force shots, didn't dance with the ball, didn't make reckless drives to the rim. He stuck to what he does best and did it at a high level last night. Catch & shoot. Catch, side step, shoot. Drive, stop, mid-range baseline pull up.

14 points, 4/6 from 3 & 6 boards in 22 minutes is one of his most efficient games slotted perfectly in his role with proper minutes.

The drive and hook pass to Corner Cam wasn't pretty, way too slow of a pass but that was his only TO and only screw up offensively so it's fine.
