What happened to Fesenko?

When Fesenko lets his man run up the floor ahead of him, and that was critical in a couple of Dallas plays on the offensive end, what makes you think he'll have all that energy back in the second half? If he was only good for five minutes of energy (and two without) in the first, he might not even have five in the second. I think it's better to go with slightly less talented people,if necessary, who are ready to play. It may not be Coaching 0WIN as some posters here like, of course.

I didn't mean it how it seems you took my post.
I wasn't calling anybody stupid, was just saying Fess is inconsistent so who knows if given more playing time if he could've duplicated his performance (though I would've like to see him get time to try) as well as who knows how the rest of the team would've played with him in the 4th Qtr, it was pretty ugly and the Mavs played pretty well.
I do like Fess and I would like to think he would've helped bring the energy and hustle the starters missed (but the starters also lacked running much of anything resembling an offense or running any kind of system).
I'm a basketball ignoramus compared to any NBA coach. I just barely know enough to recognize my fellow patzers.
I think to be more accurate, when Fes is your only bright spot it's a bad night overall.
of course Jefferson was playing so great we had to sub him back in quickly in the second half.

Quite frankly, Fes needs to temper his fouling and (apparently) improve his conditioning before he's given significant minutes. Until that happens, there is nothing wrong with being a 3rd string center.
For whatever shots he blocks, he gives up FTs with the fouling. For whatever shots he alters, he gives up points when the opposing center is running while he's trotting.

For one thing he is really the 2nd string center and Elson is the 2nd string PF. That is why his +/- is always so bad. how many times has the player he is guarding out ran him and scored a bucked. But, yeah believe he does need to improve his FT shooting.
You mean, as opposed to hayward outrunning him, getting a pass, drawing a defender, and a couple of passes later is a wide-open shot? Because I saw *that* happen.
Lemme set you all straight. In all home games, Physiquo makes me hide in a bathroom stall to sneak him his halftime whiskey sour. He usually only takes one, it's about 3 tall though. He comes in all huffy puffy after that half and it's obvious the mule was overworked. I says "He Phys, you played five, huh." "No way" he replied, "ten minute long. Now give two. Kyryl tired." While I was pouring he pulled up his shirt and forced me to tell him how manly he looked. I guess he thinks his beer gut shrinks a good bit after a ten minute jog on the court.
He goes on bouncing his pecks back and forth and smiling in the mirror at himself. "I'm incredible hulk, Frankie, you want to touch?".
What can I say, I couldn't resist the towering bloke. I gave him a good feel, the drink, and hid back on the john until the second half started.
Physiquo went back to the locker room prep and probably said something to the team about hershey squirts or explosive diarrhea. Word on the street is he messed up though by letting a big burp smack dab in Phil's face. Phil found a certain old announcer for instant confirmation, and Phys was benched for the second half. Jerry didn't really care though, as he thought Phys deserved a reward for playing 6-7 all at once.

I thought Fes always pulled himself out of games.
A tug on the jersey, a walk back to the bench....... don't blame Sloan.

I know most are just giving him a hard time for doing this but I actually liked that he did it, I don't think he did it as in "I'm afraid" of the moment but as a I know who I am, my weaknesses and my teammates (Francisco in this case) he knew there was good FT shooters that could/should be brought in.
For him getting crap about not paying attention to the game, this is one example that shows he did and was at that time.
