Also whats Corbin's criteria for deciding to play Tinsley or Watson? Is he tossing a coin? Heads for Tinley, tails for Watson?

I think Ty has them draw straws before the game.

It's apparent that Ty is only going to use one of the two per game regardless of how the chosen backup point guard is playing.
I don't agree with this, but I think a lot of us don't agree with the way the players are used in the games.

Why no mention of Haywad's 0-5?
Or Enes Kanter getting schooled by a grandfather?
I like how Derrick Favors got blocked 4 times.

Wrong on favors..... He was 4 of 8 from the field and remember one miss on a putback dunk attemp that was not blocked, so the most times possible for him to be blocked was 3.

Its the exact same way he decides playing time.... he has favorites and doesn't seem to care who deserves the minutes.

Do you really think these are the main reasons why we lost this game?

Let's start with the last one;

He got blocked 4 times cause he was hustling for putbacks (like Jeffy's never do, or not able to do), if you are trying to do it, then you are an easy target for getting block by opponents. Cause you are not the only person who hustles for a rebound at the paint. It's hard to hide the ball in that traffic. And if im not mistaken each 2 of them was in the same position.

Kanter "schooled" by J.O'Neal and it costed us 2 points. What a dissapointment. We should trade him.

You may be right about Hayward, he was off tonight but it didnt hurt us like Foye's amazing 3-13 shooting performance.

Three posts bro.

You are right and the score table was wrong. Whatever.

It's your turn to start a game thread, Foggy.

There was no one reason for this loss, but these were among the major reasons:

1. Gordon Hayward disappearing and thus allowing Corbin to play Foye for lots of minutes.
2. Al Jefferson not even contesting shots at the rim in the first quarter (he does this time and time again).
3. Along with Apathetic Jefferson, the team came out with no energy and no defensive urgency in the first quarter (every other quarter was competitive but the first).
4.Al Jefferson shooting abysmally and not moving the ball (1 assist).
5. Kanter not getting more minutes (he was the only one even close to a positive +/-, who played any meaningful minutes); Kanter did get dunked on, but Fat Al got his *** handed to him in the fourth
6. Watson playing over Tinsley.
7. Favors having to guard a stretch 4; he started to figure it out in the second half but finished with a -14 +/- (even though his stats were good, he's still shaking off the rust)
8. Horrendous perimeter D.
9. Dump shooting from our guards.
10. Ty's lack of strategic substitutions.

Hayward is a terrible driver. That's all.

I think AK was his teacher.
