its not like thibs can pull him for bad play while continuing to trot Crawford and dieng out there.
Id take all 3 (unless crawford is in scorelord mode) out and bring brown, bryson, and jefferson or patton.
Tighten the rotation up. Five starters plus Jones, MGH, and Dieng. You know MGH isn't going to win you any games, but he's also unlikely to hurt you either. He's a no impact player, and sometimes that's better than a negative impact guy. Maybe throw Aldrich out there occasionally on nights where Dieng is really hurting us too.
I'd like to see some different options than Jones-Rose-Crawford lineups. To me, that's fucking bizarre, especially considering the reluctance to play Teague and Jones together earlier in the year.
I think MGH and Aldrich would have similar results. I think the main thing is just having one only offense player on the second unit. Jamal plus another one way guy has been a disaster. I think we're just going to have to wait this one out and hope we score a decent 3rd wing this offseason. MLE has got to be able to get us a contributor.
Ugh, FUUUUUUUUDGE. This loss hurt us double. It's good the Nuggs lost, but we really needed this one, especially if we're going to stay in the top 6 and avoid a first round matchup with the Warriors or Rockets.

We are in a really tough stretch here. As has been the case for a long time now, I just hope we hang on to make the playoffs, period. We're way past the point of caring about seeding. OKC and Utah are far better teams than us right now, they will deservedly be seeded higher. If Kawhi ever comes back, San Antonio will pass us too.
Yeah, I don't get Thibs. The Rose/Crawford combination is such a disaster on so many levels. Just terrible, terrible players when you think about overall impact (inefficient offense combined with terrible defense). I'm just not sure what Thibs sees in these guys. No one to blame but himself....
The national and away announcing teams always extoll the virtues of Jamal Crawford. Anybody that watches him every game knows he blows. The way he plays, he has a really high opinion of his abilities which quite frankly aren't very good.
