Joe Ingles is bad

[Qman]

The things that Ingles does really well don't always show in the box score. That works is other guys filling the box score.

For example last night against the clippers Griffin had Kanter about 15 feet out on the right side. Once he didn't see a double coming, Griffin reverse pivoted and went right. He wrongfooted Kanter by about half a step and I could see a foul coming. But Ingles dug down right from the top of the key. as Griffin's second dribble had left his hand. So Griffin had to hold up and pass it out.

Plays like that help Kanter and the others finish plays off. He does make a lot of mistakes too.

I also don't think it is a coincidence that Hayward often has scoring streaking with Ingles on the court in the 2nd quarter.

I agree, but you can only do so many little things. At the end of the day you have to start putting the ball in the basket, especially for a bench unit that can't score. 37/28 isn't cutting it.

But he plays great d.

Why isnt Novak getting any burn? I thought he was our shooter.

Because that was a trade to buy a 2nd, and Novak just happened to be attached to his contract.

 

[Nate505]

Can you imagine Novak guarding Griffin ...

Yeah, it'd look like Kanter guarding Griffin.

 

[The Midnight]

Ingle's great, I can't really fault him. That smile of his is infectious.

 

[bjunior]

We should remember that we got him off the waiver wire and he was someone's 16th guy and is currently our 6th or 7th. He's OK for a guy we got off waivers... he's actually much better in defense than I imagined he'd be. He's been disappointing in the shooting department so far.

I would start Ingles and bring Burks off the bench. Or, I would duplicate him and clone him and start him at all five positions. We could change our name to the Utah Ingles and we should probably fire Quin and let one of the clones coach the team. While were at it, I'm pretty sure Ingles could do DL's job. I can't get enough of Joe Ingles.

Joe playing so much is helping Exum out there. He is a comfort factor. But, yes if we want to start winning games we need someone to step up. Why isnt Novak getting any burn? I thought he was our shooter.

Because he is U S E L E S S on defense.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

Because he is U S E L E S S on defense.

And Ingles is good?

He plays on the perimeter. Defense is less of an issue on the perimeter.
