Pablo Prigioni deserves more minutes over Jason Terry

Yeah if Terry doesn't have his shot falling early, I'd go with Prigioni. I thought he should be played a little more tonight when the offense was getting stagnant.

 

terry is useless if he cant make his shots. he's been on a 3 game slump. id rather give more minutes to whoever is playing better.

 

**** yeah, i think he should start.

 

Jet over-celebrating that 3 and then promptly getting lost on a screen to give Curry a wide open answer really annoyed me. Love him, but ugh.

 

I'll just copy and paste my response just now from the "The Warriors point guards scored 52 points" thread to save time.

"Don't bring Prigioni into this. He doesn't look to score first. Terry's ONLY job is to knock down long shots, and he's been miserable at that lately.

Prigioni led the team with +/- of +10 this game. Terry was the worst on our team with a -8. Terry plays roughly twice as many minutes as Prigs. This is consistently how the box score looks at the end of our games. Switch their minutes, and you'll see dramatic improvement." ​

 

He can't keep up with the quick guards. If he can't shoot the shots he needs to focus on the defense side even though that is hard at his age. I love seeing Pablo's energy in the game. The game just runs better when he is out there.

 

I think Jet almost had a good game tonight. He just missed a couple shots he should have made. But . . .

Patrick Beverley #12 is what we need right now! Can he demand the pin be taken out of his wrist ASAP!?!?! Or can he play with it?

 

It's difficult to chase Curry and try to fight through multiple screens (that happen to be moving). Our best bet is probably Brewer with a lot of showing from our bigs.

 

McHale needs to start Prigioni and bring Terry off the bench for a spark and decide in-game which guy has the hot hand. Prigs just does all the fundamental things we need and takes care of the ball. The team had 15 turnovers tonight. They've got to keep to under 10 to win games.

 

nick johson!!!!! i know its a lil late in the season but the guy hit a game winner for us this year & could possibly chase curry off those screens
he a superior athlete to terry & prigs & is way quicker

 

Next year for NJ. It's not his time.

 

idk about prigs taking over the starting job, because that could be one step too far for the psychology of the team. but the way it's been lately, i'd at least give terry and prigs equal minutes if not more playing time to prigs.

 

You have to wonder if Jet's shot would be better with fresher legs from fewer minutes.

PP's bringing a lot of good.

 

I'm sure. In a perfect world, he would've been kept fresh down the stretch of regular season and been well-rested and spry to come in and hit big shots in limited minutes. Best-laid plans....

 

What I wouldn't give for Golden State's health this year.

Aunts and gonads and such.

 

Man, they have had some REALLY good fortune this season. No real injuries to key players, yet every team they've drawn has had key players injured and/or in and out of the lineup all series. Morey was spot on when he said winning a championship takes talent and a whole lot of luck.

 

Prigioni plays better defense so play him when Curry plays. Terry's only purpose is to hit 3s, but if he's not doing that, he's not going to be effective. Terry should come with the 2nd unit.

Terry played great defense against Paul in the game 6 comeback, but we all know he doesn't have the legs to do it for a full game.
