    Took the role of Brandon Knight (oft injured, barely playing) but at least they gave away a 1st & got under the LT.

    It's still early so I'm holding out the tiniest bit of hope that he becomes playable .....

    Buuuuut , it's looking pretty bad so far

    I'd rather have Ennis . At least he's bigger and more athletic and from time to time can use it .

    Shumpert has shown 0 guard skills
    Not enough effort on D
    And is currently cold shooting the ball

    That's a trifecta of **** .... and we traded away a first and a contract that would become a positive asset next year to get him.

    Morey said "this trade deadline was about Iman shumpert"

    Well **** , Daryl .... id hate for you to go back on your word when we don't even try to keep him next year he's been so bad . Actually , we might be able to keep him given no other team offers him a good contract .

    On the real though ... Iman , please Step up .

    We've got another game tomorrow .

    CP3 should sit . And shumpert should get 25-30 minutes to try and break out of this funk or at least prove he isn't totally worthless . This is so obvious . But I bet it won't happen

    If it's a secret, it ain't a key

    No you wouldn't. Stop it. Shumpert's experience in the playoffs is enough for me to give him all the chances in the world.

    I never watched shumpert much ... so all I have to go off of is the games I've seen both guys play this year .

    Ennis looked like he could be a productive bench player . He was inconsistent , so while he could hurt you with dumb **** .... he could also finish some nice layups on the break , get hot from 3 , and play good scrambling defense every once in a while

    I know we got shumpert to be more consistent ... but the only thing he's been is consistently bad .

    We will need Shumpert experience come playoff time. He is also coming off an injury let’s give him some time

    I agree with everthing you said about Ennis. I was never in the Ennis is trash camp, but I wouldn't take him over Shumpert in the playoffs. I assume, even with the good things Ennis did in the regular season, with the the pressure up in the playoffs, his clumsiness would be even worse.

    I would rather have a whole roster of guys that have been there when it mattered. That's why I don't care if Rivers and Shumpert aren't doing well now, we know how tough they were in the playoffs.

    I think Terrance Jones is better than shampert. House > Clark> Ennis > Shampert

    Shumpert : If you're going to the Playoffs, you might want a guide.
    Clutchfans : Well, if you consider failure experience.
    Shumpert : I consider *experience* experience.

    My goodness, I really hate to say it but he has looked absolutely horrible so far...his performance vs. Dallas was brutal.

    I’m assuming Shumpert is still trying to get back into basketball shape. He wasn’t this bad just a couple of months ago. Hopefully we will at least see some better defense in the coming weeks. We really need him to get right.
