I am not one to usually make a snap judgement on one game. But after last night's performance, I think the following are the only players who should ever see playing time this season (not necessarily in this order):
Watson
Burks
Hayward
Millsap
Favors
Kanter
Evans
Howard
CJ, Bell, Harris, and even AJ should not play another minute. Or, they should play just enough to allow them to be traded mid-season. One of them should be amnestied.
And again, I don't want to read too much into one game, and I think Corbin needs a chance, but that seemed like he was throwing dudes out there at random. Gasol is off the court, so he puts a bigger lineup out there, then he comes back and Ty goes smaller??? Subs were haphazard at best. It wasn't even like he was trying to find a combo that worked, it felt like he had no ****ing clue what he was doing. I expected at least a little more out of him, even providing it was the first real game of the season.
Holy hell was that a mess. One of the worst games I have ever seen, including our humilliating blow-out loss to the Bulls in the finals. I am about to start the Occupy Radium Stadium movement to bring back Sloan.
