tie game

Zubac getting extra minutes here in the 1st
of course he's only playing against Olynyk

the season is just starting
and if we make a big trade it hasn't even started yet :D


I see you are getting started early lol Bam is a good threat on the perimeter with his passing and first stop for his size



no idea what you're trying to say

Zubac was matched up on Olynyk

and I'm always happy when Doc can wring extra minutes out of Zubac
because it means he earned them



mercy

I know it's going to sound like an overreaction, but at this point, I wouldn't mind seeing at least one of Lou and Trezz get traded by the deadline. We can't rely on them against serious teams in the playoffs. Even at their best, we're just trading baskets.

Keep Trezz in. Let him get his 20 and 10 and pump up his trade value

any problem is the garbage Lou and Trezz have to play with on the 2nd unit

Kawhi's plus/minus goes UP when on the floor with Trezz



gotta learn how to read these things

Lou & Trezz just put up a 13-3 run :wink:

If we are going to stand pat Harkless has to go to the bench for Sham to balance it out. Kawhi and PG just going to have to tough it out with harder assignments to start

Really, though... are we sure we want to pay Trezz big money this offseason when his defense and rebounding leave so much to be desired? Not only that, but Doc could easily lose us a playoff series with his stubborn bias for Trezz over Zu. It honestly wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets traded. I like him, but he might not be the right fit for this team right now.

good half by the clips. They're playing horrible, pg is in foul trouble and only down 3. This is good considering the circumstances.

The only way to shake people out of the Zubac delusion is to put him out there with the second unit and watch us fall behind by 20 in 4 minutes.

But Doc don't play that. Zubac is fine as long as he's out there with Kawhi. And frankly, Trezz is not a starting center in the NBA. It's not an either/or. It's a tightwire act with two very limited players.


Down by 3 at the half. At home. The game hasn't even started yet. This was just the first dance.

They have Jimmy Butler. We have Kawhi Leonard. :wink:

I'm not sold on any of our centers. I believe they're both back ups. I believe zu's lack of experience will show in the playoffs if we're forced to play him major mins and I believe trezz is undersized and bleed points. I favor playing zu depending on the matchup but Doc isn't :lol:

I would like a true starting center. I always say marc gasol, but he's not available but someone like him. It doesn't matter to me, which center we keep.

If we could get tristan thompson and keep trez, good with me. If we could get someone like a marc gasol and get rid of zu, good with me.

but I don't know if those types of trades are possible or are out there.

As bad as we've played, the Heat have been getting some Rockets-level officiating too.
