No idea why we aren’t giving burn to some of our alternatives to Niang and Exum. Brantley in particular should be playing

 

[jom2003]

Gobert put up 15p/15r/2b. If he does any less than that, this could have been a loss.

yeah because snyder tried to burden him with Ed off the bench instead of bringing in Bradley who could actually play a relieve role.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Yeah the bench sucked again

They tried to kill us again, but like that final scene in "Fatal Attraction" the starters were able to pull it off.

 

[Zombie]

maybe. But then the already depleted bench becomes even more depleted unless Snyder becomes real creative with his substitution patterns. An ability I haven’t seen any evidence of

I feel like Quin actually has been fiddling with the rotations quite a bit lately. The problem is that the bench is so ****ing bad it doesn't matter which starters are playing with them they're getting dragged down. Especially any combo of Green/Niang/Davis.

we are trying to elevate our offense while preserving our defense. but it hasn't worked out so far. we need to trade Ed for one more offense piece to at least bring our offense into an elite status instead of mediocrity on both defense and offense.

Ed Davis for Joker.
Exum for Dlil

throw in a future 2nd rounder.

Get it done Dennis!

I'm on board with giving Brantley a shot.

But lets take a step back here and realize what we're talking about. Our bench players are so bad we're talking about bringing up our second round rookie from the G league in the hopes it saves our second unit. It might even work! But it's clear Quin has been dealt a pretty ****** hand here.

But you don't reward $237ty play be keep playing them. It's the same bunch of losers in the bench box score. Does Quin have a death wish?

Bradley was out tonight with an illness.

 

[Jazzta]

Lol. Clank. Clank

At least he’s found a good spot for him. I don’t know, maybe Exum can make a difference with the Stars?

We should play Brantley, but Quin would never do that; so we should sign Faried, but DL would never do that.

 

[Jingled]

How pathetic is this?

 

[SCS]

When Green struggles to score the Green/Niang combo is such a massive disaster because neither rebound, neither are playmakers, neither force turnovers, Green is shooting only 46% from 2 and Niang has no game at all inside the arc, neither draw fouls. One can only score (when he's hot) and defend (when he wants too) and the other can only shoot.

Why was it ever even an idea to pair the two? Seriously.

Then you got Ed Davis who is struggling big time to add to it... god.

I actually think Royce would work okay next to Green if we move Royce to the bench after Mike gets back. Green can be an okay bench piece if we have the right pieces next to him on the floor to minimize his off nights. You can't have Niang and Davis providing nothing next to him.

I'd go

Gobert/Bradley
Bogdanovic/Green
Ingles/Oneale
Mitchell
Conley/Mudiay

If Quin wants a tenth guy getting minutes then try Exum, Oni, Brantley, whoever. Just not Niang.

 

[Dali]

How pathetic is this?

That's total nonsense. Mudiay was the sub of the game.
