    I agree. Nene's problem is endurance NOT his skillset. I do think the organization is pacing his minutes for the playoffs so that's probably why he's only playing short stretches. But to say Nene doesn't have any offense is ridiculous. Nene is great with postups & midrange jumpers. He actually has a wider skillset that Clint does. Not sure he's getting this information from

    You should have complained about 48 minutes of consistent play at the 4 spot .... Capela , Nene & ... Tucker are holding down the 5.

    Eat your Wheaties Zhou. You're the best paint defender we got at this point. It's time.

    Zhou might be something someday. But no way in my eyes is he the best pain defender this team has right now.

    woulda loved tyson chandler, but it is what it is. we're not in a bad spot. nene is legit and we're preserving him till playoffs while trying to let tarik get time in to develop more. seems like our entire roster is playing it safe injuries wise ... from nene missing a lot of games and cp chilling for half of his/taking off at the smallest scares. it makes sense though.
