PG Knicks/Heat (Everybody hates Yabu?)

ctorres · Post #1 » by **ctorres** » Mon Oct 27, 2025 12:41 am

one thing is clear

A lot of people are clearly unhappy with Yabu

He wasn't the only reason we lost though

some might say it’s worth eating a few regular season losses to get the bench more minutes and I guess we’ll see about that but looking at the plus minus stats I think this would have a been a win with thibs

To elaborate further the bench was playing terrible in the 3rd and they should have got the leash sooner

Everyone is going tp pick on the fat kid while kat is our highest paid player and shot us outta the game.

Somebody get Scott Steiner to call Yabusele a fat bastard that hails from the Great State of Obesity.

yabu and clarkson not doing what we need to help the bench scoring.

they got the contributions from Jacquez and Fontecchio

Just have to hope that Yabu and Clarkson get better as the year goes on but Clarkson has been way worse than Payne was last year and Yabu is def on precious’s level.

Except Thibs' starting 5 was losing their minutes if we are just going to look at plus minus

Poor shooting night all around, we missed Deuce in this one on both ends of the floor. On to game 79 of 82

The starters were all positive besides bridges and the only positive bench player was Hart, rest of bench massively negative. So not sure the rationale

Jovic, Jaquez, and Fontecchio are elite bench players. They're the reason why the Heat won't be bad this season.

Our bench did not have a good night tonight.

I think we have played awful last couple games. Too much 3 point chucking for my liking. Defense has been abysmal

Leave the fat kid alone.

Og and kat shot a combined 10/27 and 6/20 from 3. They have to be better specifically kat seeing how he is a negative on defense.

We may need to convert Mitch, Yabu and Clarkson into reliable players at some point. It’s early still… but those guys are suspect

This game was lost on the Brunson sub in the 3rd. Which isnvery scary.

Refs clearly hate KAT.. gets called for everything and never gets any his way even when he’s mugged.

Yabu could lose the weight but Clarkson can’t lose his stupidity. They both gotta go tho.

Diawara should’ve got some burn tonight..

Kat must've been really great on defense to be a positive seeing as he shot like sht.

Your numbers are a LIE

I still question that the bench was upgraded. Also jacking up a bunch of threes with this bench that has one guy in Shamet that has shown he can shoot the 3 over the stretch of his career may not work out so well especially when that one guy goes cold in his limited attempts.

KAT also shot us back into the game at the end with his 2 threes. Got 18 boards too.

on a strained quad

he shouldn't be playing, but can we depend on Huk, Yabu, and Jemison with no Mitch and KAT?
