I think Taylor suffers from "I am better than you therefore I won't go hard" syndrome, I think the Rox should put him on the opposing team's best wing player (like they did with Kobe) and see what happens. What is the worst that can happen? We lose more games?
I say play all the young guys, including Patterson. Let all of them get significant minutes against NBA teams. Our record will stink (oops, it already does), but these guys will gain invaluable experience down the road. Simply put, I have no need to see what Hayes does with extended minutes. I already know. We need to see if there is any fire on Hill, Patterson, Bud, Taylor, Ish. Trade the rest for picks.
Few more games... A few more games and we could have the worst record in the NBA. We need a change now. Quit playing favorites. JT has been working his ass off all off-season and showed a lot of improvement in the Summer lg where he made the first team honors. He's got a ton of potential but what is it for if he never gets to play?
Are you serious? Battier's D has been really good AND he's averaging a block a game. Lowry just flops too much and stares at the refs as the ball goes by him.
I don't know, Adelman's already playing a 10-man rotation, though three are playing 8 minutes or fewer. I think he plays Jeffries only if Hayes sits. The major problem seems to be the backcourt, as it seems he's lost trust in Ish and Lee. Maybe Taylor replaces Lee in the rotation, but I think that's only a last minute resort. He'll probably first see if Budinger can get his game back and make a difference in the second unit.
Yeah, I doubt JT makes any difference in whether the team wins or loses, the Rox were just about to cut him anyway. DD
I think Rick will listen to you're saying.... I won't be surprised if JT gets some minutes next game.
Yes. JT is hungry and Bud is...I don't know what. JT could bring a ton more to this team right now than Bud.
No one gave Von Wafer a chance but he made an impact with the team when he was here. And they weren't gonna just cut Taylor. The team and Les invested so much into him to just let him go like that.
CBud was the worst player on the court tonight. Not just for offense, but for his defense. But, I don't blame him. Instead, I blame Adelman to put him on the court.
C-Bud didn't looked ready to play, yet Aldeman thought otherwise. Bud played like a zombie out there.
No one on our team this season has taken it to the rack with authority like this Taylor has shown he can. Lee could be more of a slasher that this team needs badly but he settles too much for jumpers.

Von wouldn't help either, this team needs a guy who can create off the bounce for himself and others....we don't have that anywhere on the roster right now, other than an injured player. That one guy makes all the rest of it work. DD
What are you talking about Ish Smith isn't injured... And having a guy like JT in that can at least find his own shot is better than having a guy that relies highly on others to create for him when he's ready an overrated shooter.
Ish could indeed do that, but please notice I said a GOOD shot for himself....Ish does not take that right now, because he is a poor shooter, so he doesn't qualify. DD
