Because eventually it'll cost us wins. Get rid of McCaw and Nurse runs as close to perfect rotations as can be expected.

It actually already has. If you look back at our last losses, they were against the spurs, thunder and blazers. All 3 of those games were McCaw losses.

If McCaw never plays another minute, people will just move onto the next guy to complain about in rotations. You, I and everyone here knows that.

Death, taxes, and some people complaining constantly about rotations. All through a 10 game win streak.

I love how the biggest problem we have is overplaying mccaw on a 10 game win streak coming off of a championship. First world problems.

We could've won by 23 and be on a 15 game winning streak if not for McCaw.

This isn't true, at least not for me. I am complaining about Patrick McCaw because I find it utterly mindboggling how he manages to get playing time. He has had 6! Six games where he has played over 20 minutes and scored only 2 points. Tonight he played 20 minutes and scored 0 points. The advanced stats indicate he isn't even a particularly good defender.

McCaw is the ultimate invisible man. Its like he's not really helping or hurting us for the most part. The only time I notice him is when he gets subbed in and I start thinking about all the other players nurse should be playing instead. Nurse just knows if he puts McCaw out there, hes not gonna mess anything up, even if he doesn't really do anything special. Guy is the ultimate bot, hes just there to move the ball and be a neutral defender.

Not true. Objectively speaking, McCaw is the only guy on our team that plays more minutes than he deserves.

There is absolutely no justification for McCaw to play 20+ mpg.

Nurse chooses to play him. Nurse is his coach.

Logically speaking and joking aside...what do you guys think Nurse actually likes fron Mccaw?

It has to be something. Is it his low turnover rate? Does Nurse feel safer thinking the Ball is in his hands when one of Lowry/FVV is on the bench?

The fact that he’s a very good coach makes his decision to give scrub McCaw 20+mpg even more mind boggling. I want a reporter to straight up ask him what his reasoning is.

By playing 4 on 5 on offense when he’s out there, he’s hurting us.

His defender has to chase him a bit and at least stick to him, we're so powerful offensively in our two man games or swinging it where he doesn't impede any of that. He's not our best player, he may be our worst rotation player but he plays good defence and is never out of position. It's worthwhile to keep developing him especially if its not hurting our win streak. We just need him to take some minutes off Lowry & Fred's shoulders. If we traded for D Rose somehow then Mccaw is glued to the bench.

We aren't really though, teams still guard him. He just isn't an aggressive player. Its not like he passes on open looks or takes bad shots. He's basically just the designated 5th option every time he's on the court, that's fine because we have a lot of other guys that are better offensive players to take the shots. If good teams decide not to play him on D, and he doesn't make them pay, that is when he won't be playing anymore. Our offense as a whole has had no issue as of late with McCaw playing. I'd rather see TD, Boucher and Matt Thomas get his minutes, but the fact is McCaw hasn't done to bad in the roll he's been given.
