CP3, Luc, Capela out, Tucker possibly injured Harden (nursing injury) Gordon Ariza Anderson Nene (old and can't play B2B)/Black Are we going to run a 5 man rotation
Zhou Qi should've played tonight. and MDA had a really really bad rotation. Anderson had no business playing in the minutes he played, and had no idea how to get him going. Tarik also should've played. Even if we're going to lose this game, you can't overtax Nene/PJ.
Yes, we can get by with our starting 5. Rest you ask? They can just rest at halftime then get back out there for the 2nd half.
i'm hoping with the streak now finally over, MDA wakes up and realizes the rotation is trash. no streak to protect anymore, so it's time to get other players burn. if it's proven they're trash, then morey needs to make some magic happen
MDA should have been trying to expand the rotation against trash teams, but he didn't. Now he will be forced to play them.
Exactly. You gotta play some of the young guys with the stars instead of throwing them all out in garbage time where they're forced to watch Bobby Brown chuck up bricks.
agreed. but honestly, i think we know, and he knows they're trash. the only one of our 3rd unit that should be getting burn is troy williams, and i think he's been injured. morey's gonna need to make a FA signing going forward - someone that would actually get rotation minutes. not sure who's actually out there that could get them though...
I'm hoping we get a nice player or two around buyout season. Wouldn't be surpised if Onaku, Williams, and maybe even Qi are traded to clear salary and roster space. I think we need to add an insurance guard, a Nene clone (someone like Tyson Chandler- an older established center who can alternate games with Nene), and maybe an extra vet forward
Joe Chee is a long term prospect and isn't any good right now..OK. Bobby Brown apparently gives that sweet, sweet man love and is guaranteed a spot, don't like it... but OK. But if Weber, Jackson, Onuaku and Williams can't get minutes now, what the hell are we paying them for?
MDA was asked if there was someone else who could help. MDA said if he thought that, he would have played them.. uh oh.. I'm about to roll up to Toyota Center for a 10 day.
gordon is gonna be forced to start for an extended period again. that sixth man title slowly slipping away,
The answer is yes we do but those guys that are coming off the bench don't have enough NBA experience because D'antoni has refused to play them enough outside of garbage time. Look how terrible Tarik Black was tonight... dude looked like he can't even make it in the G-League. Morey is also at fault, he's spending way too much time tweeting to boost his own ego during this streak and dealing with the Rockets E-Sports team rather than focusing on what we can improve on our bench. Take a look at what the Warriors are doing to avoid injuries in the regular season. Their 9-14 guys all get a solid 10 min per night while contributing 3-4 points per game.
