Robbins/Chatman

Post by underdog74 »

Having these guys on the court will alleviate the manhandling we received last night. We desperately need a tough rim protector/rebounder and a lock-down perimeter defender. This team will look very different when these two get healthy and comfortable in the system.

WE NEED SHOOTERS WHO CAN HIT A BASKET!!!! No one helps Pippen or Wright. If they are cold we are doomed unless a few others can start hitting some baskets!!

Having a strong post player would punish opponents who overplay perimeter defense.

I am not optimistic about Robbins. A seven footer with a stress fracture does not sound to me like an injury that is likely to be completely resolved while playing in-season.
Would be delighted to be wrong.

Agree re: Robbins. Technically it’s classified as a stress “reaction” - I guess a step below a fracture. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on his return.

If this is true, it will be another looong season.
