I don't understand what's the point of playing butler for 1 minute and NAW for 4 minutes. why even insert them in the first place

I didn't watch the 2nd half, but in the 1st, Rudy was pretty worthless on both ends. Giannis went right at him. Lopez stretched him out. Offensively, he was his limited self.

Check the stats, Gobert played a much much better second half. Definitely best player on the team in the second half. Your point is valid regarding the first IMO.

My feelings exactly! NAW was doing some good things on D as well IMO.

Not a big deal. We drafted Herb Jones last summer instead of drafting another undersized shooting guard to play behind our other 100 undersized shooting guards, right?

It's not about playing them lmao, it's about resting the main guys

Which is great. It's unfortunate that he 99% relies on others for that type of efficiency.

It's not like we fed him in the post, he backed down his guy, and finished with authority. We litetally have to get him the ball in a very protected part of the court for him to score at that efficiency.

To prove that JB sucks… I mean he played him one whole minute… if he can’t get it done in one minute then he ain’t ready. JB will get the Exum development path… one eff up and your on the bench.

Ugh

We just can’t have nice things

And then an inexplicable $10 million contract for some reason before burning picks to get rid of him.

It is the way.

Wife and I are in Paris so I skipped this one. Sounds like more late-game nonsense from Quin and DM? DM grew up watching the Carmelo Knicks and has always defended Carmelo. That lends to a reinforcement of the way a team is good is having “the guy” who will “put his team on his back” and “will them to victory.” It’s more of a nice theoretical storyline than it ever is a reality. But it plays out in how some guys approach the game. The problem that we have is that Quin is much less of his tough-guy reputation and coaches more how I imagine Michael Scott would. He wants everyone to think he’s nice and cool and gives the people he perceived as great way too much slack. Then he’ll have his irrational hatred for those he sees as Toby. What this creates is an absolutely awful combination where Don does his best Carmelo and the only guy who can stop it doesn’t want to piss him off. Quin is supposed to be this savant genius, but when it comes down to it, he’s got nothing and he defers all decision making to a 24 year old that looks up to Carmelo.
