Funny how CamT, Mills, Sumner and a couple of 2-way players almost won us this game.

JV is bearded Nash

No one is as bad as Nash but this one did give me a chuckle.

We should. Again, no direction whatsoever. Are we tanking or pushing for the playoffs?

Not just Cam

JV has put offside a few others as well.

Not ideal when you want guys giving there all for the team.

Vaughn is a tool and CamT will nicely develop on another team

This franchise is dumpster fire

Its infuriating... I have 3 fav nba teams and nets are one of em and I want thomas to be part of team future, because clearly there's big time potential, but for some crazy reason they only see this guy as an off the bench scorer... thomas also have himself to blame because he should've just listened to Nash and staff wanting him to work on his pg game during summer league, and if he had I think cam wouldn't had been benched early in season and JV would be using him as the back up pg rn. Thomas pg game is actually decent... But yea the people around thomas will most likely make sure he gets traded , because if dude stays here his career won't really go that far... he'll just be a bum bench piece here smh

Winnable game. Vaughn blew it by resting all our guys.

They fought hard and more importantly didn’t get embarrassed.

Some questionable decisions were made but that’s part of the growing pains, right?

Yea Yuta and sum in doghouse doesn't make any sense neither, especially when they were out there helping the team win games... but i was specifically mentioning cam because imo he should be one of main focus to develop rn, because let's be real they are not going to win anything in playoffs and putting thomas in starting unit over Dinwiddie or DFS isn't that much of a difference

This is what I’ve notice about cam in the last few games he has played. he’s trying to give JV what he wants. Trying to blend into the offense. Not going after the ball. Standing in the corner and letting others dictate the offense. And he has been very ineffective that way. Until the last few mins of this game and he straight up took over. This kid can do that when ever he wants to and is given the confidence by the coach to do it.

JV has to stop trying to make him something he isn’t and use him for what he is. He’s a great scorer. He can score from three, two, layups everything. Free this kid and let him go. The assists will come. He’s not bad at working out of a double team either. JV has to start using him to his ability instead of trying to make him a role player. Make him a star.

I think JV is trying to push the Spurs model on Cam. Basically, i know you can score 23-25 ppg but you won't get minutes until you can defend and take good shots in the flow of the offense. That won't change even if he has to play worse options and lose.

The issue is that the Spurs were doing that when they were an elite team. Not a middle of the pack team.

JV is playing a silly game. Completely unnecessary too. My guess is Cam demands a trade in the summer and shines somewhere else. Meanwhile Seth Curry walks in the offseason.

What JV is doing is he's taking away Cam's strength, and make him a spot up shooter. We've seen in the end game what Cam can do. If only he can allow him to develop further and not force him into something that he is not.

Resting the guys is not all on Vaughn. We can debate whether it was the right move or not, but that decision was a joint one made by the front office, coaching staff, medical staff and players...

I get that we're trying to win now, but I actually think that some of the best lineups to try and do that involve a mix of the young and old(er) guys...

Nice to see Sumner get some burn, love the way he pushes the pace. If he could just get some minutes with Claxton/Bridges that's some scary time fast break potential with their defense to offense...

It's a marathon not a race with Cam's development.

If this is still the case 20 games in next year my tune would change, but I think it's exactly because the team believes Cam can be more than an iso-scorer that they're so hard on him...

I hope you're right. Because for a team like us devoided by talent, an up & coming 21 yo with high potential should be nurtured properly.

So true.

Vaughn is blowing it with Cam.

He should be starting and getting the ball in his hands.

Frankly him and Bridges would be a good 1-2 punch.

We are basically first rounder fodder no matter what. Best case we keep the 6 seed and get backdoor swept by the Sixers.

Worst case we fall to 7 or 8. Still probably make the playoffs. Get swept by Boston.

I'd rather focus on developing Cam than chasing wins with these "vets." Who haven't really been winning anyway.

The one counter-argument to what I said is that Cam and Mikal have no on court chemistry. That was readily apparent yesterday, and can probably only be rectified by more practice / game time...

Developing him to be traded? He did it to himself. He has no play making skills.

I’d rather develop Mikal, Nic and Cam J by making the playoffs and building on what were before.

Oh please. He has plenty of playmaking skills.

He never gets the ball.
