The more minutes we give him, the less minutes are available for better players. If his self-confidence is that weak, he needs to get out of the league.
Its not like we haven't given him a chance to get his confidence back and find his rythem. They didn't yank him after 1 or 2 poor games or even 10! But there comes a stage where you just have to give it up give him some time off and let him work his way back from practise and let someone else a go.
cough *** bs ***** cough he's still been the primary scoring option off the bench until the last 10 games or so. the book is out on bud. he's charmin soft. get phyiscal and he gets weak. i hope they trade him before his value is zero.
YES! Finally something I agree with, DD. His gender roles have changed mightily this season, and he is struggling to find his "identity".
Rick is starting to piss me off. Its not Buds choice to suck for so many minutes on the floor...its Ricks.
You may have a point with lack of Lowry being there, but be real DD. Budinger is sucking and needs to be benched.
That's almost half a season. If you struggle for half a season you should get benched. It's called earning your damn minutes, not having minutes spoon fed to you.
"after a dozen years and 75k posts of never ever having admitted being wrong about anything, why start now?"
You've got a point there. Bud also used to play SG last year. He'd sub Ariza then Martin and be paired with either Ariza or Battier, who are both clean-up. This year, he has to contend with Lee, who has been shooting very well, and, now, Aaron. Miller tends to slash too.
Number 1 scoring option? Landry was that guy off the bench last season. Bud's role ;ast season was just to catch and shoot off curls or spotting up and now he can't even do that. He just outright stinks this year and its really better if he just went down the D-League. Its better for him and the team, imo.
It hurts me to see Bud out there only hurting this team while Patterson, Smith, and Williams deserve playing time but get nothing.
