Back to work.

You gotta expand the rotation. None of this 8-9 man rotation nonsense. Kids proved they belong, play them.

Tough decisions though, someone is the odd man out even if Rose is out.

zero chance thibs expands the rotation past 10 even with everyone healthy

and as the playoffs get closer, best believe that rotation going to a TIGHT 8-9

he not gonna change

 

[don ramon]

and thats one of the reasons why he shouldn't be this team's long run coach

 

[ballinsam23]

He’s not a good game manager. If he was he‘d be able to know when to yank Burks or Fournier if they’re out there bricking everything.

 

[nick.]

Thibs' coaching style has an expiration date. We saw it in Chicago & Minnesota. Not sure it's now, or even next season, but we'll eventually have to move towards a coach with more modern concepts.

I do appreciate his role in helping reshape the organization's image, though.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with a short rotation, but the way he runs that 1st group into the ground is god awful. And he has had the wrong players in the rotation from day 1, but no one knew then.

There’s still plenty season left for the right 10 in the rotation to work out. And y’all know (by now) that starts with Deuce.

Y'all got me considering watching the game tonight

[Mister Meaner]

-RJ is developing on defense guarding the best wings every game. The O will prolly struggle with that responsibility.
-Grimes should be promoted to starter or get starter minutes while Kemba is playing 40 min a game. Give him the him AI treatment.
-Kemba can’t sustain this Better yet, Kemba’s knees can’t sustain this. Eventually, it’ll be that time.

What do you mean. Typically expanding your rotation is to include a big who doesn’t fit your scheme but either gets you points in a drought or plays tough defense to slow down the game.

If Fournier is having an off night you’ll need someone to crash the boards or set better screens. Unless though you think there’s another guard with Fourniers skill set that’s ready to have an impact.

The issue is that they have Knox and Toppin to fill the “off-night” whole

 

[ballinsam23]

Nah I disagree. You should never have a lineup of Randle-Taj-Sims out there. He overplays bigs. Go small and play faster. Get some easy baskets if your SGs are bricking.

 

[don ramon]

I’m expecting a 9 game winning streak.

definitely have a shot at a couple of winning streaks in the next few weeks

 

[floodarea]

wtf wally wearing

 

[floodarea]

absolutely cannot stand how randle only wants to talk and be a leader when he’s hitting shots

 

[floodarea]

GRIMES IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER

 

[ballinsam23]

East coast Klay Thompson

 

[don ramon]

yes grimes out there moving that rock
been time

 

[floodarea]

grimes is gonna be everything we wanted RJ to be

 

[8pm at msg]

They drafted NBA ready guys for him and he just refused to give them a look

 

[floodarea]

why is the ball not in kemba’s hands holy **** man

 

[don ramon]

this entire starting line together is trash. they ain;'t it man. thibs needs to mix it up

 

[ballinsam23]

zone killed us

missed a bunch of open looks
