On a side note, I really hope Kyle Irving get's a triple-double tonight. I like him but if he lights us up this coming Friday, he'll be on my list.

My comments was a little cynical, I too don't think our players are that bad, I just think they need more minutes to contribute.

I'm an optimist too. But I'm also realistic.

You don't know that actually. You do know that Davis and Duhon are the worst players in the league. It is a statistical fact.

Didn't DeAndre Liggins play backup PG at Kentucky under Wall before they through him at the 2 last year? Couldn't we just slide him into the lineup instead of Duhon?

Lineup should be this going forward into the playoffs:

PG Jameer/Liggins
SG JJ/Wafer
SF Hedo/JRICH/QICH
PF Ryan/Davis (10 minute breather for Ryno)
C Dwight/Davis (8 minute breather for Dwight)

That's what the D-League is for. No shame in a stint there. Guys like Harper and Orton would do well to have regular play time.

Why are you telling me this? I can't put them in the D-League. I mean, since we're paying them and they are not in the D-League, they might as well play.

How awesome is this, you don't do a single thing in the game but sit on the bench and you still get paid. Make these guys work for their money.

Can we officially start JJ now and make Von Wafer the backup. Offense runs so much smoother with him in the lineup. Maybe JRICH will find himself coming off the bench for Turk.



Wish Otis was able to move J Rich for SF or backup C at the deadline. :banghead: Start JJ, Von backup.

Richardson-2 would be a great backup to Redick.

I liked Gortat's comments post game:

“I probably gave him too much respect again,” Gortat said of Howard. “I should have attacked him a little bit stronger. Now it is over, and the game is over. He basically destroyed me and the whole team.”

I agree. I don't even enjoy his stats anymore cause he doesn't/can't perform when it counts. He completely gets shut down vs real defenses.
