    Silas' rotation in the fourth quarter made no sense at all. When you scored 1 point in 6 minutes you need more offense. And he took out Brown for Tucker. Dipo already cold tonight. Tucker can't do **** on offense. Nwaba is not a shooter. Court spacing was terrible. Should've left Brown and McLemore in with Tate who could slash a bit. And he took out Tate.

    Simply putting defensive minded players is not gonna help the defense. You miss on one end you give them easy transition opportunities. He really doesn't have a clue.

    I'm just wondering why we sat our PG and 6th man, our two top ball handlers, at the same time instead of just staggering minutes or doing one today one tomorrow.

    We've already seen that the team with Dipo leading it is hopelessly broken.

    No, he doesn't have a clue. You can't put in Tucker in that situation. And he really shouldn't left Nwaba out there when he's clear off tonight. Shooting is extremely important when you are in a slump.

    I guess Cousins has a 25 minute limit. He didn’t play at all in the 4th.

    it is what it is...I’m just wondering when the front office will stop this pursuit of mediocrity and trade away guys like Dipo and Tucker for any assets they can get

    Dipo
    McLemore
    Jones
    Brown
    Nwaba
    Cousins
    Tucker

    7 players, everybody has to play 34 minutes.

    These type of moves have to make you think the organization is low key tanking because if not, these moves aren't trying to give yourself the best chance of winning.

    I said it. Take out Nwaba and Tucker, leave Brown and Tate in. He went with the worst offensive lineup in midst of an offensive slump.

    We just need a PG and a C

    I'm keen for Dante to get some mins and Jones to be given a permanent position and off the 2 way. And sign another PG to a 2way.

    Then we need to trade for another C and cut Thomas for another C on a 2way.

    Dipo-House-Tate-Brown-McLemore

    That's the lineup he should have gone with. Decent shooting with Tate and House being tertiary playmakers.

    Multiple times Biyombo got switched on Tucker and Nwaba and we were unable to take advantage. Nwaba forcing the issue over a great shotblocker in Biyombo was a recipe for disaster. And because you keep missing the Hornets got easy transition opportunities.
