Just saw the reply. Landed on Booker's foot and rolled it. Didn't really look serious though. I guess they're not taking any chances.Slim Charless wrote:Bogyo wrote:RedIndian wrote:Ayton picked up an injury?
Ankle. Didn't look that bad, hopefully it isnt. He is not coming back tonight.
Just turned the game on. Did he roll it, or get stepped on? What happened

Some of your posts I have seen recently look kinda trolish. Biyombo is 11th man. Be careful what you wish for.
Monty Williams does tend to stick with a set number of guys and will hold fast even if they're struggling, often to the detriment of the team.
Biyombo has been pretty solid for us and that's indisputable. We'd definitely be worse off without him.

DA and McGee were definitely not struggling in this game and they are definitely preferred choices for Monty as it should be.

That last play in 2.7 seconds was really good.
Nice job from Monty.

Too bad Payne missed the layup.

We are in good hands at C even with Ayton out. That is why signing Biyombo was a great move.
Biyombo is as good as their starting C.

Book dominating. Javale and Payne taking advantage inside of Pistons small ball.

I stilldon't like Monty's substitution patterns.He sat book on the bench for about 30 mins.When Book's scorching hot so far.Surprised he didn't ice his own player.

And? They don't need to be struggling for Biyombo to play. Smith has straight up sucked ass until he got some run and only because others were injured. Even still, I would be giving him a lot of minutes and he was the 11th or 12th man.sunsbg wrote:SkyBill40 wrote:That's your take and nothing more.

Just because I'm critical of the team doesn't mean I'm not a fan. One doesn't need to have purple and orange knee pads on in order to be a fan. Just saying.

That's not saying much. Biyombo is 11th man. He probably doesn't see any time in the playoffs except in an exceptional situations like in this game.

It doesn't make sense to be critical in this case. No team plays 3 Cs. Jalen is much closer to a PF and played as such next to Javale. Also if they want to have a chance to resign him they need to give him mins.

man booker is something. pretty much every shot of his i've thought "oh, nice defense" and then he proceeds to easily drain a contested mid range shot.
must be nice to have a player like that.

That was maybe his most efficient half of basketball so far this season.It's fun when he's making his shots.It always is when chuckers get hot.

Cade doesn't look bad either.

Ayton sprained his ankle on that Cade pullup?

Yeah, I agree, but without him we would have been in trouble tonight and on some other games. Cam Johnson is out too, so Jalen Smith needs to play more at PF.
It is a long season, Biyombo helps a lot with our depth.

Yeah that Ayton injury looked like something you could just walk off.Guess he's not taking any risk until that max contract is secured.

Stewart is a joke. He is playing because he is young. McGee looks like an All Star against him.
