This thread is for everyone who has lost their minds about Royce

We can think about it all we want, but the guy whose opinion matters is a guy who ran with Rubio + Favors + Gobert until it wasn’t possible anymore. He’s the same guy who continued to plug Ricky into the role of a shooter.

And Ricky had his best season.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that Royce struggles to defend elite guards, as we witnessed again tonight when he got absolutely cooked by Kyrie. He does better against bigger forwards. We really need to start thinking about giving some of his minutes to Shaq when we go up against guys like Kyrie, Dame, Steph, etc.

Its been time. I think Royce is good but he's not a surefire, every matchup, must start. Shaq could have subbed in last night if you didn't feel like putting DM or Mike on him. If Kyrie cooks them there isn't much of a difference imo than them cooking Royce and Royce might be better at rotating over to help. If you don't want to do that then sub in Shaq to the starting group. If they post of Jeff Green and Taurean Prince on DM then great... because that isn't kyrie shooting a three.

Andy is smart and has the stats below.

So why didn’t we keep him?

Because we knew that Ricky, Favs and Rudy did not work... what we didn't know is would Favs and Rudy work or would Ricky and Rudy work. There were simple solutions everywhere.

Mike playing better should lead the offense to go supernova if we get consistency out of DM and Bojan at some point here. We still have an issue of needing a point of attack defender against guys like Kyrie, Jamal, Dame, Steph, and others... or we need to trap and force others to do the work (worked against Dame). Putting Royce out there on them isn't working.
 
At the beginning of the season, when we were 4-4 with some ugly losses, there was plenty of shade to go around. But some insecure people insist on rubbing people's faces in their reaction to the moment rather than just letting all the fans enjoy the ride. We are winning as a team, why can't we cheer as a team?
 
Heres the difference. When he sucks I call him out, and when he does well I praise.

He's playing great, and making me eat crow now.

If he struggles in the playoffs with you homers admit what you see?

I call it both ways, and would prefer to be wrong with Royce. If Royce continues to play like this I'll be banished to the kingdom of shame
and obese from the amount of crow i'll have to eat. I'll take that fate if it means we win the title. That's all I care about.
 
Lol. Basically no training camp. And a super short preseason (especially for Royce). And he doesn’t come out of the gate on fire. So some people gotta call it “both ways”? Lmao.
