I think they need to pick spots really carefully.

Playing him against guys like Mesri(not really strong) when he is on the 2nd unit, is a really good idea.

But he also did well against Bogut in limited minutes.

No. Let them keep bashing Joakim.

Start KP at the 5 for 36 minutes next game against Drummond with an achy back.

Y'all deserve that

Yup.

When we look at the power ranking of NBA right now, actually Jazz and Raptors are in the top 10, so no shame to lose to them actually (but only on the losing style).

We need to beat the bad teams (sometimes with injury of their franchise player) or just bad rosters. However the critical mission is to beat the mediocre teams like Pistons. If we are capable of beating the bottom half teams in a consistent basis, and surprise some top teams sometimes, then playoff spot is secure.

... and EXCELLENT DEFENSE. But let's face reality. He's not shooting 6-7 FGs most nights either. But he definitely look solid out there. Takes good shots. Spaces the floor well. Knows where he has to be. Doesn't try and do too much with the ball.

Oh, and btw, did I mention that EXCELLENT DEFENSE?

Winning a game - especially against a depleted Mavs team - doesn't erase negatives that have been going on all season.

Man, I feel great! Both my Giants and Knicks won?!?! Is this real life?!?!

Ok, let's not get carried away. Dallas stinks too without Dirk and Deron. However, I did love that KP at the 5 and Melo at the 4 lineup. That's a modern 2016 NBA lineup. Nothing wrong with bringing Noah off the bench. I think we've seen enough to realize Noah, KP and Melo can't all play together. It's suicide defensively.

There aren't many guys like that in the NBA. It's time we stop letting others dictate what we do. Play the best lineup that maximizes the talent you have.

I'm not for KP at the 5 full time, but we need to make it happen a significant portion of the time. Dubin said in today's podcast that he's averaging less than 6 MPG at C going into tonight's game. Should be at least 20 minutes.

I don't think KP can handles 20mins at C, he will be gassed by 3rd Q

I'm thinking more like a, if he's hot let him play C less if he's cold let him focus on D more so play more C

Its one thing to discuss the negatives in the post game thread and provide insight to the game... Its another thing to lead the post game thread with a title bashing a player on the team and only bash said player in the opening post...

Keep the criticism for in the thread...The leading Title and opening post of this thread was 100% negative against 1 player... No insight about the game...No insight on said player...Just "fk this guy, he sucks, blah blah blah" ...And this is our thread title/opening post after a BLOWOUT victory? Was there nothing positive at all to talk about? :roll:

yes the Mavs suck, Yes they were without Dirk...But lets not be 100% negative and completely destroy a guy who only played 15 minutes tonight in a game that we won... cmon now.

Not 1 positive comment in the entire opening post...And then to say Willy is better then Noah? They practically had the same stat line and Willy is no defensive standout either...

Willy 13 mins 4 points, 6 rebounds, 0 assits, 0 blocks 2-6 33% fg
Noah 15 mins 0 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists , 0 blocks 0-2 0%fg (so basically contributed on 4 points, same as willy, with the 2 assists)

Not making a comparison of the 2 players, they bring different things to the table...Im just saying... Bashing 1 player, then calling another player better after a game they put up pretty much the same stat line... doesn't make much sense to me. (yes stats don't say everything, yes Noah didn't have a good game.. im just saying)

Tired of all the negativity on this board. Cant even enjoy the 1 fking win we have. I really hope we end up living up to our potential, so I can start individually telling everybody to shut the fk up by the end of the season. Bunch of tank riding, negative cry babies. Save the tank talk for after the all star break.

I guess due to the plantar fasciitis, he wasn't able to step behind the 3-point line on his shots
