Should Donatas Motiejunas get Omri Casspi's minutes?

yes, Casspi is not a 4.

 

Why don't you ask for Garcia's minutes?

Omri has been the most consistent guy off the bench
He is slightly above average and that will tell you how bad the bench is.

 

Wait for a trade or a signing, this little patience. Can't tell you more.

There is definitely something going on behind curtains that we don't know.

 

No chance... The ball moved so much better with Casspi on the floor... When everybody's healthy the Lin/Casspi combo off the bench will be deadly

 

Some of the minutes. I think Casspi needs more minutes at the 3, with Garcia playing a few less minutes. Opens up 5-8 minutes at the 4 for Dmo.

 

nope he is not ready yet. and plus isn't he supposedly our stretch four? he can't even shoot a wide open 3. come on now

 

Not yet. DMO is trying to hard.

 

If he is given more opportunities on the post he can contribute. They just don't pass him the ball. Next year he needs to bring the 3 ball in his game, he right now can hit the euro 3 ball but he needs the NBA 3 range.

Hopefully something happens that's positive.

 

If DMO should replace anybody, it's Garcia, not Casspi.

 

and having decent success.

 

And why was this idle thought thread worthy?

 

I really want him to get some meaningful minutes. You can tell just by looking at his game, not much comes from talent. He's worked hard for every damn skill he has. Yes, I'm being too sentimental.

 

Exactly! Omri should take Garcia's minutes. Omri looks better as a 3. And give those minutes when Omri is playing three and TJones is on the bench to DMo. It's a no brainer and could have been done a long time ago. Casspi is better than Garcia and Casspi+Dmo is better than Garcia+Casspi. This helps the team and is not just to give DMo minutes. Also I would give DMo all of the back center minutes against legit centers. If Kaman is out there put DMo on him, not TJones. It's stupid to sub Howard for Jones in that situation. This isn't some DMo fanboy strategy, just common sense. At least try it McHale.

 

this couldnt go in any of the 20 some odd DMO threads ?

 

Simple. If we are winning consistently with him or because of him yes, otherwise NO because we will be losing.

 

I think he should get Garcia's minutes, move Casspi to the sf and let Dmo play the backup pf. He needs consistent playing time to show what he can do, why didn't Mchale play him in the second half?

 

O. Casspi 21:11 3-5 0-2 3-4 +5 1 5 6 4 3 0 1 0 0 9

D. Motiejunas 10:23 2-7 0-4 2-2 -3 2 3 5 1 1 0 0 1 0 6

a. Casspi perform better then Dmo
b. Dmo is much more fit to take minute from TJ or perform as a sub to D12 (poor man Asik)
Dmo have better phisicality then Casspi but he lack Casspi speed. passing ability and the ability to spread the game and by so to help the ENTIRE team

 

There are so many Dmo threads because most people can see that he needs some playing time, most everybody except Mchale.

It's hard for me to understand why Mchale doesn't play him. I think Mchale just gets it in his mind that he doesn't like certain players and that affects his decision making. Lowry played good before Mchale, but Mchale messed that up also. If you're going to be successful at leading men, you need to not let your emotions control your decision making so much. ( I am speculating here )
