Randle is good and Lavine is not a PG.

FFS Martin.

the bench has good players, they are just not players you want playing together

Well, there is Kobe's 1 for 6 too

That's because of our defensive lineup no?

Yeah, no defense by the second unit tonight. When the starters were on the court, everything was contested.

Sam needs to be smarter about substitutions...this platoon method is ill-fated. Not enough D with these guys.

The 2nd unit has been bad so far.

Yes. but I think Tay's length figures in there too.

I think we need to keep some starters on the floor with bench players.

That's what I was thinking. I'd rather see Lavine come in for Prince, having Wiggins slide to the 3, Lavine to the 2 with Rubio at the 1 for a bit before Lavine shifts over to the 1 (which isn't ideal anyway).

Bjelica will take a while to get under control. I guess we are going to see Payne tonight.
