    If Clint isn't 100% then I vote for 12 minutes of the Brazilian Beast and 5 minutes of Hartenstein. You just never know until you try. Better than sitting back and watching us die.

    I think there is a case to be made for some Brazilian minutes when Gobbert is in. I would even go for him when Favors gets the 5 spot with their 2nd unit, we have been going small against Favors and maybe we could try something else tonight.

    Nene can barely move and has no lift. Let him retire in peace. He has no business playing; it wouldn’t do us any good.

    Being adaptable is asking too much from Dantoni

    It is not about speed or lift
    It is about strength and positioning
    I think 5-10minutes of Nene would not have hurt.
    5 fouls...hard ones in 10 minutes.

    I agree. Last time we beat the Warriors he played 16 minutes. His weakness is rebounding I agree, but he won't get pushed around. He scored as many pts as Clint did in 28 minutes and also got 2 steals and a block. Clint had 1 steal and a block.

    It was such a no-brainer to give him some run last game .

    MDA is always thinking too hard lol

    Nene gave us decent minutes tonight. D'antoni needs to try Shumpert next round. His length can bother Curry and Thompson on a good day.

    Nene looks good. In fact, he’s looking much better than Capela. With Cousins our we should be using Nene to clear space and keep the Warriors off the boards.

    the fact that he can't get minutes is a joke. Nene could have won us this game.
