I would give Gallo one more half to put it together and if he doesn't I'd replace with with Bozoman Hill. At least Hill won't miss 8 threes in a game.

I'd also sit Lou Will down for good. He is friggen killing us. Put Dunn in or just don't play a PG. Lou Will can not play anymore or else we WILL lose. Schlenk should be on the hot seat just for that Rondo/Lou Will trade.

Trae playing 35 minutes is a f-ing joke! Derek no knees Rose played 38. You telling me Trae can't play as much as Rose? There is NO EXCUSE for Trae getting less than 40-42 minutes per game in this series. No excuse!

i don't mind having LOLomon play with the JC foul trouble, Gallo can't play 30 minutes and Solo won't take 8 3s.
Lou was big in game 1, no way we win without his 13 points, he had a dud in game 2. The trade worked for us.
I just don't get limiting the minutes unless these guys are just dragging. Also the whole 'NORMAL ROTATION' is a non starter in the playoffs.

disagree about Lou. He was only good in the 2nd half of game 1, was terrible in the 1st. So he's been terrible in 3/4 halves of basketball in this series.

Nate needs to shorten the rotation to 8-9 guys and stop playing Lou Will. we have more than enough offensive talent on this team without him.

Lou had a very good game 1, he was vital in that game. Gallo has been a negative in all aspects. We have too much vested not to play him and hope he breaks through at some point. The only guys that can be counted to get buckets rn are Trae and Bogi, everyone else are struggling or very inconsistent.

We all would love an upgrade over Lou but that won't come until after the draft so we need to find ways to get him going. Dunn obviously is not an option these days and backup pg continues to become an issue.

Hunter seems to coming up at the right time. Nate has to implement some starters into the 2nd unit when they struggle to score. Collins would be my choice since he doesn't get many plays ran for him on the 1st unit.

Thinking of that, it's not specifically a player to bench or another one to play, it's how McMillan manage the rotation and improve and adjust that based on what happened in the first two games.
Play Lou if he wants, but play him with Trae or Bogi, not alone, and see if it's better like that (it should as they were good playing with Bogi at PG even if it was a different level of defense).

And he has to find a way to take profit of Snell 3pts shooting, we can't have the best 3pts shooter of the league this season and not use him, it would be like not playing Korver when he was there or like CHI had not play Paxson once they were in playoffs.
