    "Joe had a wrist injury (in Utah). He's not washed up."
    "Mike is just getting Joe in shape."
    "Mike is just experimenting to see what lineups work. He won't play Joe in the playoffs if he's not performing."

    ;):D

    People to to stop whining. Bunch of babies. Hes the 10th player on the roster and we are a 1 seed

    People have to always find something to cry about

    Enjoy the season

    Mike playing him like hes a crucial bench player hes going to rely on in the playoffs. He's a complete liability and it has me terrified.

    Hopefully he plays well now that the DD curse is in

    But tbh, he deserves to be trotting in some other team, not take minutes from Gerald Green here

    We are trying different lineups and giving players more rest. We could run our players into the ground with the 2nd unit. you want to do that? This hate is so dumb. We are winning games. Calm all your t***.

    Easy.

    Marco Belinelli & Ersan Ilyasova (both who ended up in Philadelphia)

    or what if they just went with the 9/10 guys they had (& re-signed friend Bobby Brown)? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    hes trying to see what he can do and acclimate him in. What is he supposed to do, not play him and up the minutes of crucial wing players who already fit and have played all season? Hes trying to give him some run and get in the flow of the team. Hes played like 10 games for us and 14 minutes tonight. Thats not a big deal.

    People obsessed with gerald green. We know what he does. There is no reason to put him in. Hes streaky chucker.

    You can acclimate him in during easier games or when guys are out .

    YES , I want the players that already play to play over him . They've earned those minutes . They can still build even more chemistry and gain more confidence .

    Gerald green was on a hot streak ... Then he got benched ... And now he's not shooting as well .

    You've also got Anderson coming back from an injury that you need to work back in .

    You're taking a risk by "acclimating" him that he's even going to be worth it in the playoffs . How long is the experiment gonna last ? If he keeps sucking this bad do you suggest he gets an acclimation game in the playoffs ?

    He can get back in game shape by riding the bike .

    He's shown nothing to suggest that he just needs a game or two and then he will be back playing great . He's sucked ass in every single game except one

    Late February, yeah.(25th/26th?) As long as you were waived before March 1, you could sign & be eligible for the playoffs I believe.

    February 8th(trade deadline) to March 1st - 3 weeks - you could sign players. No one said you had to sign guys right away.

    If we can just get the amount of Joe threads to cancel out the Anderson threads Clutchfans.net can reach singularity..

    MDA has been money on most of his decisions but benching Green in favor of Johnson is a huge mistake.
