Rivers Tells Rasheed To Limit Threes

Celtics coach Doc Rivers told forward Rasheed Wallace to stop attempting three-pointers during the team's win over the Warriors on Wednesday.

"I got on him, and I rarely do, about the threes," Rivers admitted. "Because even though he was wide open, it's really tough. I mean, he was wide open and he took two, but we had just taken two quick ones. But he's got an incredibly high basketball IQ. He's been phenomenal in the locker room. So, I'm just happy to have him."

Wallace has attempted 70 three-pointers this season, hitting 31.4% of them. He's on pace for 500 attempts in 2009-10.http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/62911/20091120/rivers_tells_rasheed_to_limit_threes/

Well this obviously isn't the PO so it's not really a fair comparison.

Carter isn't doing anything that Hedo didn't do last season. He would straight-up take over games...important games, in the clutch.

Lee has a ridiculous amount of upside and he's a great defender.

If the Magic think they can win right now, then maybe Carter was a good choice, after all. But will it still look like a good move a year from now? Two years from now?

It'll be interesting to see how it all works out...but i liked how Hedo and Lee fit with the Magic.

I'm having a hard time justifying Carter over Hedo.

Carter is the better individual player, but they essentially gave up Lee as well. And it's not always about the better talent, it's the better fit.

Case in point: The Pistons came awfully, awfully close to winning the title in 87 and 88. Two wrenching playoff exits when they could've easily come out on top. The chemistry was off in 89 for reasons that had nothing to do with talent: Rodman was a versatile defender who had earned more playing time, and Adrian Dantley resented it. They traded him to the Mavs for Aguirre. Now maybe at that point in their careers Dantley was a better player than Aguirre, but Aguirre was no slouch himself and was a childhood pal of Isiah's who would make no trouble. It was a people trade, not a basketball trade, and without it they probably don't win a championship that year.

I've just never been impressed with Vince Carter. Every NBA player will tell you he has, or had in his prime, just as much talent and skill as LeBron, Kobe and Wade, and he's never come close to anything they've done. Never gotten past the second round, and I'd have to check basketball reference, but I don't think he's even been on a 50-win team, whereas of those other guys, they all have at least a Finals appearance. He just doesn't have *it*, whatever that is.

And got Ryan Anderson. IMO, Van Gundy should be starting Howard, Anderson, Lewis, Carter, Nelson (when healthy). The whole point of trading Turk was so Lewis could move down to the 3 and they wouldn't be undersized at 4. As much as I think that trade helped them, I really don't see the point of it with the lineups Van Gundy is using.

Turkoglu is way more team-oriented than Carter is or ever will be. I guarantee you Hedo cares about winning and has never called out his own team's plays to the opposing bench:

See, I think they got to the Finals by having an unconventional lineup that caused mismatches. I liked Lewis at the 4, and the way they spread the floor with their 3-point shooters, they kind of reminded me of the SSOL Suns a little bit, only if they played defense too.

Ryan Anderson at the 4 and Lewis at the 3 gives them that same spacing. Also, remember that Turkoglu and Nelson had major problems playing with each other. Vince has a proven ability to co-exist with PG's.

I'm a bit of a Carter fan. I think he was that good, but the knee injuries robbed him of a career, the same way it's robbed Penny, Grant Hill, and T-Mac from All-NBA careers. The man dropped 50 on the league's best defense, the 2000-01 Philadelphia 76ers. They took a 2-1 series lead and were that close to the Conference Finals. Remember, Dominique, a Hall-of-Famer, never played in the Conference Finals, either.

I think Carter talent-wise at his height was as good as Kobe, Bron and Wade, but aside from the injuries, he basically sabotaged his team to get out of Toronto, and wore out his welcome in New Jersey too. Kobe's legacy is the early 00's Laker dynasty and being the best 2-guard since Jordan. Wade's legacy so far is his insane run in the 06 playoffs and being the first guy to win a title from the Class of 03. Bron's legacy so far is the league's next potential icon after Jordan. Carter's legacy is that dunk on Frederic Weis and for being a selfish cancer.

Dominique in my opinion never really developed the all-around game you need to be a franchise player. He basically just outscored his man most nights.

I can't argue with that. Here's my view, the only reason Orlando wasn't eliminated in the 2nd round last year was KG's injury. They clearly needed to improve to compete with a healthy Boston or LA. There's a 100% chance returning the same team wasn't gonna cut it. There's a 90% chance the trade they made doesn't make a difference or maybe hurts them with VC's attitude, but there's a 10% chance Carter gets his head in the right place and puts Orlando over the top. From that perspective, it was a good trade.

I don't know about that. I don't think it's possible for KG to be as good as he was before that injury. That's a wear and tear injury from how much he's played. Maybe he'll be 70, 80% of what he was, but the Celtics were one miracle shot from Glen Davis from going home in 6 games. I don't think matchup-wise bringing in Shaq did anything in the long run for the Cavs. Good teams will just p'n'r the Cavs to death in the playoffs with Shaq on the floor. Lee would only be getting better. Last year's Magic team had chemistry. They really risked messing with it by making the trades they did. Time will tell if it pays off. I do respect the decision to not be complacent and try to tweak their way to a championship, but Carter is just not the guy I would've targeted.

There's no reason for the Magic to start thinking short-term. And the move for Carter was just that, a short-term move.

They could have locked down Lee and Hedo, and cultivated that young team to be a contender for the next 3-4 years. I dont see how having Carter is going to lift the Magic above the Lakers...so if the Magic think they can win right now with this team, they're in for a surprise.

There's a reason I only mentioned Boston and LA and not Cleveland. Lee will get better, as will as Ryan Anderson who has already fit in well with Orlando as a PF who can space the floor for the PNR but unlike Lewis or Turk is capable of bodying up legit big men.

Whether or not KG will return to his previous self, the fact remains their finals appearance last year was somewhat fool's gold. I think it was Jamstone who made this comparison and it made sense, Cleveland made the finals in 2007 and then SA mopped the floor with them and made them look like one of the worst teams ever in the finals. So what does Cleveland do? They sit on that finals appearance and stand there doing nothing as Boston got KG and Ray. Now, they settled for players exiled from their old team for one reason or another and are about to lose Lebron in 2010. Whether or not the Carter trade works, Orlando made a trade that potentially makes them better, that's more than Cleveland can say for their off season following 2007.

Yeah, that's a very young core except for Hedo. The one argument for letting Hedo walk is that he's 31 and they'd be locking in to him for 4/55, or whatever it was.

DUNCANownsKOBE2

11-20-2009, 11:49 PM

So relating to what you previously said Findog, I'm probably biased towards this trade cause I always respect front offices with a realistic opinion of how good their team is and are willing to make a high risk high reward trade that gives the team potential to be a contender but also potentially causes the GM to lose his job.

There's really no definitive answer. I just think it's more prudent to consider long-term solutions as opposed to short-term. And Vince is obviously the short-term option.

I said it the day the signing happened and I will say it for the 100000000000000 time. I HATED LANDING SHEED BECAUSE HE IS A LAZY SON OF A BITCH THAT JUST JACKS THREES! This is deja vu of fucking Antoine Walker. Man I wished we could have landed Mcdyess. Fuck Sheed.

:lol

Well, you did call it. I hate my team just being lazy and settling for threes when there's still time on the clock to work the ball into the post, or reposition for a better high percentage shot.

My dad and I both agreed that if Sheed starts oh for three in a game, Doc should bench him as soon as he jacks up the fourth one.

He just needs the Lakers. He's sees them down there on the other side of the scorer's table and he turns right around. Gets down in the post. And I mean the low f'in post. That little square down there. His foots in the gd thing against us. & he makes his 3's like shaved pussy. The f'in hump.

Sheed needs to work the post and keep his 3pt attempts down to 2 a game. He's old, but not so old that he has to leave the post completely.

Definitely. Really, he's cost us two games this season with bad three taking. (0 for 5 in one, 0 for 8 in this).

He has been open for a good amount of the threes, but when you miss your first three threes, don't keep jacking them up.

His problem is he's limitting himself mentally by thinking he's old. He is old. But now he's on a team that he doesn't have to play 30+ minutes on. No need conserving energy by just standing by the 3pt line. Think Mutumbo. Old as dirt, but could still play defense at a high level because he knew he only has to go all out for 10 minutes a game.

Good point here.
