Yes Like play pj off the bench and House too. Limit Oladipo minutes if he isn’t even trying to play the system. He is just isolating and jacking 3s. he needs to stop giving those who aren’t trying or giving much so many minutes. it’s better to give Mason Jones more minutes over Victor. Take away some minutes from pj and give more to Ben. Before tonight pj was avrg 30 plus minutes. Giving only 5ppg that’s inexcusable. Oh and his defense has been subpar. maybe because pj is a vet and has been here the longest he is giving him preference over Ben. Maybe because PJ is owned to be a good defender. But pj isnt even playing good defense. We mock Eric for his facial expressions and gestures but pj complains all the time even when he clearly commits silly or unnecessary fouls.
Ok Oladipo been cold for a week or more .... why are Gordon and Wall out? They trying to tank?? Plus what you said on the rotation smh
Rotations look like a weak point for Silas. There's been numerous times where his rotations have left a lot to be desired. Here's hoping it's something he eventually realises and learns from. Although being an assistant for so long I wouldn't expect him to be this bad in this regard.
Is it Silas’ decision to rest starters, or is it the training staff? Why do people keep putting that on Silas?
It's not all about winning right now, it's about treading water until after the all star break. At this point in the season you don't want to get too lost in the standings, but Silas is experienced enough to know you rest players early in the season so you have healthy guys down the stretch when it REALLY matters.
Tucker is done.....that happens when you’re 36 years old and not named LeBron. Hate to say it, but he should flat out be released or traded for a late second rounder from a contender. He has no business on this rebuilding team.
So instead of PJ and House, had we given more minutes to Brown, Nwaba and Tate, we would have won? Instead of Oladipo, play Mason and we would have won? We lost because we didn't have our top 3 players. Not because PJ and House started.
I don’t think anybody is saying we would have necessary won with a different rotation, but scoring one point in eight minutes and seven points total in the quarter probably was avoidable. At some point you have to switch it up just to see if someone can provide a random spark. I didn’t expect a win but the fourth quarter coaching was pretty bizarre in my opinion.
not sure why Nwaba played so much when he was cold. Ben should’ve been put in there at some point but sat out most 2nd half. Coaches go with their bread and butter and for him it’s Nwaba’s and Tate’s defense. He’s thinking defense jump starts offense and transition play etc. I can’t blame him but I don’t get why Ben had the hot hand and he’d sit him for such a long stretch. That lineup was odd I agree. Cousins sat out much of second half as well. Mason Jones is turning out to be a dud in my opinion. Really doesn’t have the handles or quickness to blow past opponents or execute one on one move.
