    First off, I apologize - I missed the game. I can't get League Pass to work on my PC remotely.

    Looking at the box score, I have to wonder why Dorsey is still getting minutes. I thought the consensus was that DMo was kicking a$$ and was even better at center than PF, so why isn't DMo getting all the backup C minutes? What gives?

    LOL I was about to make the same except thread. Black atleast was the better rebounder. They waived the wrong scrub.

    Because TJones is still out. I expect DMo takes up all of Dorsey's minutes as the backup C once Jones is back.

    His 1/3 ft shooting tonight improved his ft%. Seriously I could punt the basketball at the hoop and get a better ft%.

    Dorsey shouldn't see the floor unless we are absolutely forced to.

    No clue why he was out there. If we do need a few extra minutes I would rather we use Ariza or Pap.

    How in the world can you play the game of basketball your entire life and have a 19% free throw percentage? It's not like he has another job on the side taking away practice time.

    Because it's hard to play only 3 players for two positions , especially when it's big men and they are prone to fouling or need rest . Theoretically dmo Dwight and smith should get all the minutes , but in reality it is hard to make that rotation work , especially when you start Dwight and smith .....

    My guess is Morey wants to prove that he made right choice? tbh, Dorsey is not NBA ready.

    In all seriousness, did Idris Elba's mother and Dwight's father have a one night stand?

    He's as ready as he's gonna get, he's just not good enough.

    Use a stretch 4 if necessary to steal some minutes, no more Dorsey.

    I don't think he will ever be NBA ready.

    How can a human being in general with fully working limbs shoot 19%?

    You guys have issues because you're so fixated (because you need a scapegoat) on Dorsey that you're looking past the real issues on this team.

    Stop with the short term selective memory. When Marc Gasol was burning all of our defenders last night Dorsey came in and shut him down allowing us to take the lead. Dorsey is a good defender.

    The only problem with this team is playmaker. That's it.

    Too strong to accurately shoot a basketball. Zero touch on his shot and no chance of improvement

    This might be the case, but I have my doubts that a 3 man rotation is even the intention. It should be IMO.

    Guaranteed contract over the better player - that is not a good winning basketball move.
