Does Mosley flunk the stooge test and keep Carter in the starting lineup?

Could see it going both ways. Goga wasn't playing well the few games before he got hurt, and then WCJ hasn't played good besides this last game.

Oh Mose. I had a feeling when heaped lavish praise on Carter after the last game that this was coming.

They are going to force this until it's undeniable that the extension was bad or until WCJ proves he's a starting caliber center.

It's extremely frustrating. They've made their bed, though.

Orrrr... bright side is Goga is probably on q minutes restriction for the next 3-5 games. Plenty of time fpr WCJ to revert to form suckage and Goga gets the nod again

I feel like Franz saves Carter's ass when he's in, he seems to play much better with him than without him. At least now we can actually see who is playing better in the game with a full squad. If WCJ sucks early, yank him lol.

Goga/Isaac might be stout off the bench together on defense. At least they're all going to be in the rotation so I don't get too caught up in starter/bench stuff as most people, considering we finish games with a lot of diff lineups.

Only thing that makes sense to me is that Paolo and Goga cannot coexist in the SL together. I don't agree with this statement, but it is the only thing that checks out logically.

I'm irrationally upset. This means that Mose would bury Goga as a third stringer if Moe was healthy. This is F'ing ridiculous.

Revert? Wendell has already sucked for a while.

Goga had several games before his injury where he straight up quit on plays and straight up sucked. Why WCJ is so more frustrating though is because we paid him way more and he has the exact same games but is softer.

Eh, WCJ started and then went back to the bench before with both of them healthy too though before Goga got hurt. Benched WCJ in favor of Isaac in the playoffs too.

Call me when WCJ ranks as a 97th percentile defender, 96th percentile rebounder and 96th percentile shot blocker (stats from a Knightro post)

Keeping 10 points and 10 rebounds + near 2 blocks per game on the bench so WCJ can pump fake and lose the ball sounds smart
