How much longer until Bud is demoted to 3rd string?

DD is FN raging. :grin: McHale's doing a great job coaching and helping the team over .500 with this 6 game win streak plus making the decision of taking Bud out of the starting lineup.

I think close to the end of the season McHale will be a strong candidate for Coach of the Year.

 

CBud plays limited minutes (or doesn't play, like tonight) and we win.

I know a lot of it has to do with CLee's return, but man am I glad to not see CBud get extended minutes anymore.

 

This is what he does. He does it well.......... Well at least let him score his 100.000th post.

 

Seems like the results speak for itself.

We've been getting more wins the less minutes Bud is getting.

I hope Bud is trying to get his minutes back, instead of giving up on life.

 

Please dont let this be a one game thing.

 

And he still sees the court before TWill. Adelman must have been right

 

Budinger was taking bad 3 pointers .... at times........not moving well mostly..... being aggressive at times when coach talked to him......but slacked off again ....just not the consistent player that was advertised
Would be a good riddance for us
For him to get to a new place where he can start from scratch would be nice.

 

Is he in K-Mac's dog house? What's this DNP-CD business? I thought he was a better player than that. I hoped he'd be an energy guy off the bench. Is he pouting, being disciplined, or what?

 

And Avery Johnson...

 

I guess the answer to the question is 1/21/2012.

Or

He's being held for a trade.

 

Well, Bud and Thabust are gonna be the centerpieces of our trade for Paul Pierce.

(dramatic pause)

Where's the sarcasm meter?

Yeah, I was surprised, too. We're winning, if not very convincingly, and watching Cbud and even Twill go unused is odd.

 

One of these days an NBA player is gonna take a hit out on DD. So many careers wrecked! If there was an anti-Midas touch, he would have it.

 

McHale is going with a 9-man rotation. Dragic, Lee, Patterson, Hill off the bench.

 

There is always volleyball...

 

Yeah, I think the return of Lee has hurt Bud's playing time, and quite frankly, he's the better player if you're going to give minutes.

Wonder if McHale ever benches Martin for Lee.....

 

Probably the most head scratching move by Adelman the past few years was playing Brooks ahead of Lowry. Probably the second most head scratching move by Adelman was playing Budinger ahead of Lee. I know Bud is the more prototypical 3 with more size, but that hardly matters when you play like you are a 4 foot midget. Lee is so far and away the better player that it confused me any time he got less minutes than Bud last year. It's only been a few games this year, and Lee has been out a handful of them, but it looks like McHale has already got that part sorted out correctly.

 

To be fair, Bud was getting regular rotation minutes during most of this current winning streak. McHale likes a tight rotation so when Lee was healthy it was kind of a no brainer, Bud out of the rotation and Lee in.

 

And Parson's minutes are shrinking too.

We had an all midget lineup in Lee, Dragic and Lowry and we barely held on....

DD

 

So before you latched on to Bud for his shooting. That was gone.
Then you latch onto Bud for his rebounding and assists. That is now gone too.
Now you latch onto Bud for his height.

Hahaha. So pathetic.

 

Didn't the spurs have a midget lineup too? And you'd prefer to have a Rookie at the end of a tight game rather than a vet? God damn...you're just bad.....
