Question regarding Glen Robinson...

[Rick Von Braun]

"If Pop when shooters go, so was CIA."

AFLAC!

You both could be right, but why not a word about why he didn't play at all last night, only a few minutes the game before and only 12 minutes the game before that. Something's amiss!
Can't understand why nobody's said a word as to why he's lost minutes to the point of disappearing from the scene entirely.
Kori! You have the ears... What do you hear about Robinson?
Thanks!

IMO, Big Dog got his leash tightened after his dumbass shove of Rashard Lewis in game three. That one techinical foul gave Seattle back their adreniline and got them back in the game. Pop does not like headcases, and if he gets any indication that a player is not with the program from a focus standpoint, he will ride pine forever (Steve Smith, Malik Rose, etc.). After the shove, Pop didn't play him for quite a stretch. When Big Dog came back in, he was working his ass off trying to keep up with Seattle's smaller lineup. He missed nearly every shot he took from that point on.

Knowing Pop, he'll keep Big Dog on a short leash until he proves during a short burst that he's 1. not going to do something stupid, 2. continue to play D, and 3. hit his shots. If any of those things go wrong for him, he'll find himself next to Mr. Massenburg until garbage time from here on out.

So Obstructed, which guy did you want to see Big Dog guarding:

Antonio
Ridnour
Allen

As others have already hit on, it's the matchups.

I think the Dog will run against both Jim Jackson and probably even Marion.

I'd be surprised to see him guarding anyone, given the defense he played. Let's not fool ourselves about why he's here. No matter who he covers, he's going to be a defensive liability and if he doesn't make good decisions on offense and hit his shots he won't play.

If the matchups with the Sonics were what made him make such stupid decisions, I welcome his contribution to the team in the next round, but I don't quite understand why anyone would think Marion is going to be a better or easier match up for him.

Before Rashard went out Glenn was shutting him down. You definitely had an obstructed view if you think he wasn't playing any D.

...damn...I laugh every time I see that picture...that Dude just got OWNED on the internet...

Rashard scored 22 and 19 in games one and two so you must not be talking about those games. So you're saying Glenn shut down Rashard in his blistering four minutes of PT in game 3? Where can I get a pair of those Malik Rose colored glasses?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, I forget, Glenn Robinson was guarding Rashard the entire time Lewis was playing, silly me...

[Ginobilly]

The big Dogg will bark and the Phoenix Suns doggy style next series. Look for him to get more minutes if Barry keeps on sucking.

If he wasn't guarding him, then where did this "shutting down" you refer to take place, in the parking lot?

[T Park]

I think Big Dog will get more minutes this series due to the matchups.

Once again, he was a victim to matchups.

I think you could see alot of Big Dog vs Jim Jackson in this series.

[Kori Ellis]

I think Big Dog will get more minutes this series due to the matchups.

The news said he didn't make the trip.

[T Park]

Yeah just read that.


Wonderfull, Just what the team needed, to be SHORT handed.

[Kori Ellis]

I think he might still make it there. He's just tending to a family emergency.

[T Park]

Hope ur right, they need him.


stuff like that usually gets a player in a great mindset.

They dont think about playing, they just play.
