    Troy with the 32 points on 7 threes last night and the game before that RJ went off for 35, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks! We need bodies and those two guys, in case of EGO and or CP3 out, would at least give us a shot. I don't see a chance in hell we beat the Spurs with a short ass rotation of 7 players.

    Dantoni wouldn't play either tonight. Tonight you goin see Pops roll out 11 bodies to our 7 and we goin be reminded why Pops has Dantoni's number. Unless Harden has another historical night. I get the feeling CP3 and Gordon arent playing tonight

    why does the bench need to get warmer for a tough stretch?

    Agreed. We threw Capela into the fire and he has been / is getting better.
    Why can't we do the same with Troy and RJ while we're short on perimeter shooters in Ariza, CP3, and Gordon.

    And put the G League championship in jeopardy? **** no! If those guys get called up it will be only to choreograph new handshakes with Harden and get camera time when P.J. gets a tech or when James is on the bench and the other team goes on a run. Other than that these rox/vipers won't ruin their shot at one of the most prestigious and relevant trophies by playing their two best g league players in nba games

    How do you explain Dekker and Trez? Coach D played them consistently.

    they got better and better with playing time. I would like to think they were more than just filler in the Clipper trade. There is NO development at all going on now. I like watching the bench grow —> with age and our pace of play we need to have younger players in this role through out the season.
    My comment stems from the tight play off rotation from last season with BOTH said player glued to the end of the bench as there was a need both proved they could fill. Coach’s most glaring shortcoming is his lack of trust with younger players. I know you see it, too.

    Dekker has stalled out in LA. Trez is getting a little burn, but Doc isn't known for player development.

    Yes please . I'd call up Markel brown too . if Paul and Gordon are out and James is our only guard again I will be sick . If we play 7 again that's disgusting . If we play 6 with nene only getting a few mins as 7 then that's sick

    I'd call up more than just Troy !!

    But this probably means that at least one of Paul/Gordon will play
