What a clown show. This is way worse than I thought we would be. Most of these rotation players need to be benched for like 3 games... seriously, start the guys from the Iowa wolves the next 3 games
He ain't the problem it's the back court. It was the backcourt please tell me a game they played well this year.
-26 combine between Ant and DLO again tonight
You nailed it, jester...KAT and Rudy have been fine this year, but the Ant/DLo combo is killing it. I've been calling for a switch in the starting lineup with JMac replacing DLo (by the way, I assume JMac had the same bug that kept Naz out tonight, because he only played 7 minutes), but maybe it's Ant that needs to come off the bench.
What's become clear to me is that Ant and DLo should not be on the court at the same time. They are both gifted offensive players with the potential to be high-volume scorers, but their deficiencies mirror each other: both are ball-stoppers, and neither has the NBA-smarts or desire to defend the perimeter. I hope Finchie begins to see what I see...the number of wide-open shots from opponents when both are out there is both astonishing and frustrating! Please, Chris, don't play these guys together anymore...one of them has to come off the bench, your choice!
There is no choice.
It's not the franchise's prized possession. It's the guy on an expiring who's actually done it before for a brief stretch. The only hope with him not pouting his way... is that it's a contract year for him so he really has no choice but to try to be highly productive as a super sub.
I'd assume this is Finch's big move.
[Note: I also think McLaughlin's lack of shooting next to Gobert's lack of shooting will eventually be a problem. It's just that things can't get any worse, right?]
