    I just want to acknowledge that Aaron Holiday is a keeper. He always comes through when his number is called.

    He's stoic. Never flinches when thrust into the game. I love this guy.

    I like his confidence even when he doesn't get that many minutes. When his number is called he's throwing fire

    Jrue is praised as a plus defender but people forget Aaron has the same wingspan @ 6'7.5", crazy length for a 6 footer. Always been lights out from distance too, >40% from 3 point land all 3 years at UCLA...

    He had very similar numbers to FVV last season. At least offensively.

    I have no idea why he would receive any hate
    He’s a bench pg or sg and he plays the role perfectly. This year he’s basically the third string

    Truer words have never been spoken. Tate was the only one with a negative plus-minus this game. Guys like Tate fill out the rotation on bottom-feeding teams - there's no role for him on a contender.

    Holiday is a great shooter and doesn't make mistakes. He can't run an offense like Fred and he doesn't have Reed's potential, but in Fred's absence he absolutely should be getting regular minutes.

    Same here. Dude’s always ready regardless of playing time. Without his heroic 4th quarter, we might not have gotten the last laugh tonight.

    I kinda understand folks believe playing Holiday hinders Reed’s development. But at the same time, we’re in the win now mode. Whoever gives us more chances to win should play more, like Holiday tonight. Healthy competition is only going to help Reed, instead of having the minutes handed to him.
