Whatever Cody did or didn't do in the 1st quarter, he hasn't been seen since.

 

[str8line]

Lebron out there moving like a 25-year-old.

 

[str8line]

Ooh, Ace baby.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Collier hurt? He went to the locker room.

 

[str8line]

Boler still doesn't know how to pronounce Doncic.

 

[KqWIN]

That's not my point though. I'm not saying Cody is a good offensive player or that he makes our offense better. I'm not saying the offense couldn't be better with someone else taking his minutes. My point has been that he's not a tank commander, in the sense that he singlehandedly loses us games, which is the reason some posters think he should continue to play.

Up until last game he hadn't been so severely affecting our offense that he was single handedly losing us games. I don't think that's opinion.

It doesn't matter if he's dropping from 150 to 120 or from 120 to 90. That's still commanding a tank. Both make you lose the same amount. Cody's minutes (like everyone else) exist in specific set of circumstances and you can't really even assume it's "fine" by comparing it against the total net ratings. It would like comparing rush hour sales to total sales during the day.

Lol the guys not even playing getting ripped.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Filipowski is -27. No one else is even close to that. Odd.

You think we would have had a 150 ortg if Cody wasn't playing those minutes?

Lololol.

 

[Shad]

Did hendricks get injured? I saw he played 1 minute

He played one defensive possession in the 1st quarter and that was it. I don't think it's because he's injured.

 

[str8line]

Three more and Key will have 30pts in three of his last five games.

Lololol.

150 is a made up number to illustrate the point. It doesn't matter if you are lowering an offensive rating from high to average or average to low. It's the same effect on tanking. You either believe Cody is the reason why the offensive rating is holding up when he's on the court or you believe it would be higher without him. That's where the opinion comes in.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz did the right thing not calling timeout, but that was a messed up offensive possession.

It was a fine shot. Lauri just missed.

 

[str8line]

Another OT coming?

Wide open shot

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hardy should have just called a TO after the no call

 

[str8line]

Good loss.

 

[str8line]

Full-on foul by Smart there.
