Your interpretation of what I said, is not accurate. The point I'm trying to make is that Rudy's effort was lacking during that third quarter when Mann went off. Maybe he was tired. Then Quin should've given him some rest because the Clippers were scoring at will even though Rudy was in there. Morgan or Favors couldn't have done any worse and would've at least added a little offense.Man you are so clueless it's hilarious. Yes of course one single decent defensive stand is exactly the same as and entire defensive assignment for an entire half. You know I once saw Niang stop Kawhi, stood right up to him, held his ground, forced a bad shot. So I guess that means we should have had niang on kawhi every single possession, you know since he showed he was the kawhi stopper and all. That worked out well didn't it? Your logic is ridiculous and just shows either a very heavy negative bias or just really ****** basketball iq.
Rudy was playing hurt. He had an MRI on his back after the game.Your interpretation of what I said, is not accurate.

That's even more reason Quin should've taken him out.Rudy was playing hurt. He had an MRI on his back after the game.
It reminds me of when the Red Sox manager wanted to take his star pitcher out in the playoffs, get's talked out of it by the pitcher and the first batter hits a game winning homerun. The manager got canned.That's even more reason Quin should've taken him out.
You are right Quinn should have tried something else, also because he did get injured after that fall, but mainly because he had given Rudy an impossible task. But your assessment that his problems were entirely based on effort is ********. He wasn't slacking off, he had an impossible task. He was expected to stay with Mann, something any center in the league would struggle with for an entire half, but he also had to cover for everyone else's failings by trying to be there at the rim when their own defensive assignments blew by them. He was set up for failure. He wasn't slacking off, he had impossible choices to make because his teammates couldn't guard a mannequin.Your interpretation of what I said, is not accurate.

I liked the signing of Favors, but we did overpay him. But signing him is far from the worst of the roster additions. Like people have said, the end of the bench and lack of contributors there turned out to be a big problem, Matt Thomas being the major mistake.Honestly I think the Favors signing was the biggest mistake of the offseason and the major issues with the current front office in a microcosm. And of course I didn't think that at the time. But we are paying him a lot of money and he just isn't adding much, even before the Clippers series--and of course in that series, he was unplayable. The thing is--he didn't add much when we had him before. He was the wrong player for this roster before. And they went and resigned him instead of trying to get the type of player who could actually help us against post-season small ball. We should have used that money diversifying the roster and getting a guy who is different from Rudy, not a shell of who Rudy is. I love Favors, but having precious cap space tied up in him for 2 years is really going to hurt them making any change. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave up an asset to get rid of him, and we don't have assets to give up. It's moves like this where DL and the front office really screwed up. They knew we had a problem--the inability to defend small, athletic teams has knocked us out of the playoffs literally ever season. But they never did anything to address it and committed to the wrong type of players.
I think we'd be idiotic to get rid of Snyder, and we're not going to. But I really hope the new owner shakes up the front office. This organization desperately needs a new look, new blood. We've been the same team and done things the same way for decades. I hope the ownership group decides to shake things up.

Matt Thomas wasn't as big of a blunder that people make it out to be, the biggest error would be having that idiot DL still employed with the Utah Jazz come tip off. His days are numbered and Smith and Wade won't buy his foolish bsI liked the signing of Favors, but we did overpay him. But signing him is far from the worst of the roster additions.

It will be interesting to see.Matt Thomas wasn't as big of a blunder that people make it out to be, the biggest error would be having that idiot DL still employed with the Utah Jazz come tip off. His days are numbered and Smith and Wade won't buy his foolish bs
