    It's just dumb. How do you not even put him in the rotation for 10min?! GSW out-rebounded HOU mainly because Capela and EG don't know how to box out or get rebounds.

    If you look back, 90% of the o-rebounds (19) by GSW was because of EG or Capela.

    Ryno is twice the rebounder, can boxout and same 3PT shooter as EG (who is struggling badly last 2 games) and can give you size to battle the bigs Kerr puts in all the time.

    And the excuse of defense is not valid. EG and GG are bad defenders too, maybe worse. At least Ryno doesn't thinks he's Kobe and shots every time he gets the ball.

    Another excuse is "he's not shooting", maybe because he gets in with the trash squad. That's why he doesn't shoot.

    Imagine having a 38-40% 3PT shooter with crazy range and not playing him.

    Just play him dammit.

    Step back from the keyboard, Ryan. If coach puts you in next game, just be ready. Good luck to you and the team.

    This is an incredibly ironic statement.

    Tbh D'Antoni needs to stick with 7 man to grind out a win in game 5 and experiment/open rotation in game 6. If we win nice, if not Duke it out game 7 at home with da 7 man rotation.

    I refuse to believe that 7 man rotation is our only choice to getting wins.

    I'd try Luc and Ryan for 6 minutes each. If either makes a few plays you can extend it, but anything to find a small gas for our main guys. They are more than capable of not losing a game for 3-4 minutes a half.

    Check all the past games vs GSW and compare his rebounding % vs EG. Leave that for homework.

    He is not mentally ready because he skillwise he coulda contribute... But if he hesitates in garbage time how can he play big moments

    Obviously anyone in their right mind on the coaching staff is not trusting him.

    You clearly aren't watching Looney if you're using him as the butt of your joke.

    He has been pretty damn impressive when we try to put him on an island.

    Ryno I thought would be vital for us this series. Thank the Lord Tucker is picking up the slack since somewhere along the way the Monstars got hold of Ryno one night and have never relinquished his lone ability.

    I don’t think Ryno will get any run in game 5 strictly because he is playing tentatively. But I would use NeNe for about 5 minutes for some bully ball on Green. He’s physical and can box out.

    I don't mind giving Ryan a go for 5-6 minutes, but I admit it's better to put Nene in there first.
