our bench feels much more in sync than our starting lineup, even with how badly walter/dick have been playing recently

Pull RJ ffs and balance the lineup out.


I'm probably pulling IQ for Shead to try first if I am changing the lineup.

Losing the shooting hurts as much as it helps

That’s because our SL missed open 3’s and the bench so far has hit them.

I don’t because it makes one area (defence) slightly better while making a new issue (perimeter shooting).

The most logical is RJ for Agbaji for a 3+d look, or if you really wanna get crazy go Battle to rain down open 3’s (but not really fixing the D)

Not really. Shead is shooting 10% better from 3 than IQ on the season.

And that’s why looking at basic %’s without any context is a silly way of doing things.

Shead at least is playing well while IQ has been mediocre. Telling RJ to go to the bench for a guy averaging less than 3 ppg and shooting 8% from 3 is a harder sell.

If we end up losing this game to the Nets, then heads should be rolling.

Hopefully Battle can get some run before the 4th quarter, and not just these final 90 seconds of the first.

lol Ochai shooting 8% from 3 this season. At least for right now, we would be losing RJ's shooting too if you're looking at it that way.

Sure, let's call facts silly when it crushes our narratives.
