I don't hate Foye. He belongs on the court. Tinsley is the one that I hate. He is slow, turns the ball over, doesn't play defense and can't shoot. Why is he playing again?
Because he is a veteran. That is pathetic.

Because neither Foye nor Burks are point guards.

We were getting ripped at the half. I'm ok if our wings don't get time since they have not demonstrated to me that they have earned the time over the vets., i.e., that they are even equal to them. It's not the certain with the bigs since Favors and Kanter are such a great defensive pair and adequate on offense.

Foye shoots WAY too much and does little else. Burks hasn't yet shown to be an effective distributor and floor captain, and realistically, he has no future as a PG. So no, Foye shouldn't be playing.
 
Huge rebound differential-- 61:40. Interior defense was good, even Jefferson was playing some when he was in. Then we had the 3s to break the game open. Mavs couldn't get inside, couldn't get clean looks, and couldn't match our pace.

Jefferson did pick up the D in the second half. But that's only because he played absolutely no D in the first. Elton Brand, who has the body of a 50 year old, broke him down twice. Zero help D but I don't ever bother looking for it from him anymore.

AJ played only 29 minutes - which is about what he should be getting per game. No excuse for not bringing it the whole game.

I disagree, Foye had a pretty good all around game tonight 13-3-3.
I understand the frustration about his lack of playing time though, I would have mixed the lineups up a little bit, I would rather see burks and foye in, over tinsley and foye. There is really no reason for tinsley to get almost 20 minutes. Carroll getting 16 minutes baffles me a bit too. He does good things when he is on the floor, but I think Burks adds more to the game than he does.

Right, Foye did play solid ball the second half. But when Foye is playing for another team next year and we're still trying to figure out what Burks is all about, the organization will have no one to blame but themselves.

They're probably thinking of signing him long term and shipping Burks. Why would you have a player that doesn't play on your roster like Burks? Mind you, this is their thought process, not mine.
