sorry hereschenes, I cringe each time he has the ball in his hand now. Yes, defensively can block as well as anyone in the league, but still gives away dumb, soft fouls. I want a defensive foul that counts! I demand that when a shooting foul is given, I want the opposition player to hit the timber on the BMC so hard, that Skip's record player jumps track. Not a soft foul that you would expect if you were playing the Walford Year 7 team.
I want to see a "Mick Gatto" in defence, not a "gateaux cake"
Now offensively. Coops needs to get involved in the little 1 %ers. Each time Hinder did not have the ball in offence last night he was bumping our guys and screening so that his team mates could get free. What was Coops doing in offence when he didn't have the ball to assist his team?
If you don't have the ball in offence, a player needs to be a threat, either in looking to shoot a three point swish (eg a guard), or else putting heat on the defence (eg a forward/centre) to get players free and open up lanes.
