yeah it needs to happen. you simply can't have both pj and house scoring less than 10 point combined in 60 combined minutes. jeff green is a more skilled 5 than pj tucker. better handle, more length, better passer, better finisher around the basket, more above the rim player, etc don't bring up "inconsistency" either, because pj tucker is just as inconsistent as jeff green.
Hard to win when you have 3 starters combine for 8 points and the last 3 was after game already lost. Too many offensively challenged players playing too many minutes.
I’m so sick of seeing the box score game after game where Pj and House are a COMBINED 2-6, 1-5, 4-8. That is the biggest issue with the starting lineup. You can’t have two guys on the floor that are incapable of creating offense and/or scoring when they are open. House Jr has not produced consistently enough to keep the staring job and should come off the bench. That needs to happen RIGHT NOW, before we drop to 6th and the team goes into a tailspin. It’s getting close to happening. This was a terrible loss.
Love the guy, but Tucker is looking totally worked out. I know he is giving us nothing on offense, but I fear our defense will look even worse without him starting. Replace House with Green. Give way more PT to Rivers and DMC. Wtf happened to Ben Mac? He ain't shooting the damn ball.
I know, it's hard to rag on Tucker because he has a heart as big as anyone's, but he is looking more like Ryan Bowen than PJ Tucker out there recently.
Times like this also shows the hypocrisy of all the posters here, INCLUDING myself. We’re sitting here making decisions about rotation as if we know best, as if we know better than MDA and Morey. Yet all these posters are the same as the ones that ragged on Tillman for not keeping an Ariza or a Shumpert contract, or any move that would get us into the luxury tax, get us a decent player, but not a superstar; and if this has shown anything it’s that we are nowhere near a decent player away from contention. (TLDR Tillman was right not to pay up, and he’s always said if it was for a star he would, his word holds more weight than our thoughts now)
Something has to be tried, with 3/5 starters giving you virtually nothing game after game your crazy not to try something, the biggest issue is our options are really limited. Green for House makes the most sense at this point. I can’t see our D suffering that much and our O should improve, even a little bit would be welcomed at this point.
Green does not need to start since Green cannot create much off the dribble consistently. Tucker is a stand-still shooter and this small ball offense can only tolerate one stand still shooter!
We need to play harder and compete with some pride. I love the energy Green plays with. He needs to be in some pick n rolls with James but mostly we have to compete at the defensive end we are react fouling. Sometimes we need to just foul some guys to send a message and make them think about it a little bit. We are tougher than this and despite what people are saying now we will rebound from these losses
Well House ain’t the answer he’s a bench player if ever there was one. PJ been MIA on offense all year but I don’t think we can go without him starting because of the D and RoCo isn better defender out of all of them so he's not sitting.
Green has not done enough in this short of a time to be promoted to the starting line unless Dantoni does not see any future as the coach of this team. Starting Green would be move of total desperation at this point in the year!. Tucker cannot stay with bigs in semi-transition or even on fast breaks. Definitenly doubt Green will be much better than Tucker is on defense.
