If he's out for the season they should waive him and bring him back next season for the vet minimum or however long the rest of his contract extends. Going over the cap that small amount wouldn't hurt much plus Austin owes Doc a solid.

Always happy to get another win. Blake had a monster game, it was good to see him knock down those 3 balls. However I'm getting tired of us not being able to put teams away. I don't know what this says for us in the playoffs.

Seems like it tends to correlate with the bench coming in. Come playoff time, Blake/Paul and DJ need to be ready for 38-40 mpg. Redick is the one who can stay at about 28-29 mpg, but those other three are going to need to be on the floor more. I really hope all these comebacks with the bench on are teaching Doc that they really aren't very good.

at this point i've pretty much given up on the team being any good defensively. it's unfortunate and you hope they figure it in the middle of the playoffs, but i'm not sure what the team's really gonna be able to do in its current state.
