Is this why Hayward is starting ?

While I missed AK not being there to defend Marion, I do not miss AK's kamikaze drives into the lane.

How about his errant 3's that hit nothing but air? Fans in the front row only have to worry about CJ now.

Bell's not coming out of the starting lineup. The most likely change that Ty would make would be to insert Howard for Hayward. He'll go with the Vet/Defense line of thinking.

Yup, seems to be more and more relying on the vets, regardless of the outcome. The tougher the game/opponent, the more minutes they get. Raja disappeared in the second half against the craptors, but he stayed in for most of the minutes.

I can understand it to a large degree. As a coach, you have seen that these guys can get it done, have gotten it done for years. The youngin's you know are going to make mistakes, the hardest thing for a coach to see. But Ty is not thinking creatively or critically, just calling the same ole names hoping they can produce again. Bell kills us, especially after the 1st quarter when he still has his legs and can make a shot or two. But he adds zero otherwise to the O which is actually a minus one.

I would like to see Ty pair youngs and vets more. What about bringing Sap off the bench with Kanter, starting Favors. That takes the pressure off the youngs to score and lets them do what they do best: play D and rebound and run. Right now we start two bigs that do not complement each other well: both need the ball and neither play much D.
