I’m not getting the hate for Shump last night. He made some stupid plays but he was a very active on defense. He was a hound the 1st qtr. then everything went to shit and he reverted to making bad passes. He shouldn’t be playing PG to begin with though. That’s on lue. He’s encouraging him to be aggressive.
There’s really not any minutes for Shump besides PG minutes. He can usually at least get the ball up the floor.
I’m fine with his current role. And honestly would rather have him playing backup PG minutes next to Wade instead of Rose. At least Shump can sometimes shoot the 3 and defend 3 positions, and Wade should be able to keep him from doing too much stupid shit on the court.
I agree with this. Shump fits our starting lineup a lot more than rose and wade but it’s still not a good role for him. It’s just the best we can do right now with IT gone. It’s too bad we can’t trust Lebron to not be a turnover machine and play PG himself.
I thought Rose/Wade played really well together in the preseason. Its the regular season though so we don't want to burn out 37 year old Kyle Korver either. He's had to bail us out far more than he should have too this early in the season. Some nights it will be best if he is just the floor spacer.LeBron is playing PG. and we can trust him:
But at the end of the day if you can get by without forcing him to dribble the ball up and down the court for 36 minutes one November, you do what you need to do. Should have IT sooner rather than later at his point. Rotations should settle nicely with him playing ...biggest issue will be Rose...Wade is obviously the better player and they can’t both share a second unit IMO. (All it would do is take shots from Korver which is bad)
