    And it's not all black and white, there are things Udoka is very good at.... but managing minutes, developing young players, and anything related to offense simply aren't on that list.

    While the win last night was fun, it was another game made closer than it should have been due to minute mismanagement. It didn't matter against the Lakers and their 21st ranked defense, but it's the kind of thing that will kill you in the playoffs.

    Oklahoma City Blue tomorrow. He has gotta come out gunning like there is no tomorrow. I dont think he will start to really kick in until about the 4th-5th game.

    Hartenstein went to the G-League and now he’s a star. G-League can lead to great things. Let’s be positive.

    It's a pity that so much time has been lost already.
    Reed needs to play in every remaining game.

    The good news is that Alpi, Amen and Tari do not have that issue.

    And that's a similar situation, a dumb coach didn't give him much opportunity and he thrived as soon as he got it.

    I worked security for many Austin Spurs games and Derrick White turned out fine.

    Why...? A G League assignment is not a desperation move as it once was... giving g up on under 21 year old rookie before the all star break is idiotic...

    I think cultural gaps lead people to assume that different delict automatically means "slow".

    I don't think so. They want these guys here and need time to see what they have. Reed needs a renewal of confidence like Whitmore got.

    I would be surprised if Reed didn't immediately play well in the gleague. These are scrubs compared to what he's seen in the big league. He just has more natural talent then most of these guys.

    Still see Reed as a big plus. He will thrive under the pressure. GO REED GO !

    Hartenstein went thru 4 teams before he broke out.

    I didnt see you protesting when he got cut by Morey.

    If he can’t score in the g league, I think his career is over.
