FVV must have a RealGM account and visit quite often...

Nah, he doesn't need to do that himself when he has his rgm stooge/agent/wife/manager mdenny here to relay anything that's said, and to try to sway public opinion by defending and/or giving him excessively positive posts.

[Madhouse]

I do think we win today.

That drop-off from Achiuwa to Birch is scary too

Birch sucks. It's why I said Precious needs to be the starting C the moment I saw him in summer league. I'm glad to see Nurse agrees.

I am pretty concerned with his finishing around the rim when there is any kind of shot blocker on the court. So while I like Precious more than Birch, it would be nice if the majority of his minutes come when Miles Turner sits.

Hopefully this game will get Boucher out of the doghouse.

I think Boucher will need more time to adjust from C to PF.
He doesn't have ball handling and passing, while he cannot defend C (and sometimes can't boxout with his lack of strength).

If he can only play the C spot, I think we might trade him, as this is his contract year.

Man, I drafted Boucher in my fantasy league and now he's playing 5 mins.

Now is the time to drop Boucher, so he may catch fire IRL and net us a good return in trade

It is still too early to say, but Boucher will have competition with Watanabe who is more versatile at both forward spots and Siakam who will play the majority of minutes at PF.

I don't know why nurse is over thinking it he just has to play birch with Boucher at the same time they did well together platoon ing and Boucher needs to remember that shot selection is what made him improve last year.

This is really a selfish move by you. You know that selling will absolutely cause Boucher to go off and yet you still persist. We need his scoring off the bench, damn it.

My apologies. Okay, I guess there is no other choice.

The finger is still an issue though, he is always re-adjusting the splint after each of his plays. He will stop pressing. But yeah Birch and Boucher looked real good against Boston.
Sorry Indeed, there is no competition between Boucher and Watanabe. Chris looked like a borderline 6th man candidate last season. No competition.

Put OG on Duarte, he's been playing well, so we need to clamp the rook.

Let Barnes deal with Sabonis

[Los_29]

Gotta get Boucher going for the sake of the bench. Sub him in early and give him some extended run. He’s basically out of the rotation right now.

Then he needs to earn his way back into the rotation. This organization is about earning your PT. Nothing is given. You play to win not to stroke egos.

[Brinbe]

Less concerned by wins and losses this year and more looking at overall development, chemistry, cohesion and if they're steadily improving and learning from mistakes. And yes, development isn't a linear path but some progress would be nice over the course of a season.

Hoping Boucher starts to find his way a bit as he's been back for a while now. Hope he has a nice game. Would also like Nurse to give Dekker, Bonga, Flynn some time and really open that bench up. That's why we have the depth. If some are struggling, don't be afraid to look elsewhere. That's what this season is about, lineup/role experimentation to see what we have when we're actually trying to compete.

That being said, a win here would def be nice for morale purposes.
