Isn't it obvious brother! Monty has to try and help Shamet earn more money by playing more minutes so he can afford a fancier wedding for his daughter! Also he's a family first guy! As in his son in law comes before the team or our success!! :wink:

Masturbayton should be left on the bench on Sunday.

The Shamet minutes are unavoidable unfortunately with the CP3 injury but my god does it have to be so many minutes??

They literally are avoidable as ****.

Right. I forgot about Lee lol. And you know why? Because Shamet plays 30 mpg and Lee doesnt see the court.

The sad thing is we coulda been up 2-1 if we had played Warren/Ross last game

Any team with KD and Book are gonna be tough to eliminate in a playoff series.

Book played his best game ever IMO and KD was relentless going to the rim. Both played great defense and took care of the ball. WHAT A DUO.

Warren has shown that he needs to play and can be a game changer for these series.

7 points and 3 boards doesn't sounds like a nice game but he was +20 with very good defense and he is a real threat on offense so the Nuggets can't ignore him off the ball as much as they do with Okogie, Shamet, Lee or Craig.

Monty made a mistake not playing him at all before, he needs to keep playing him solid minutes.

Two bad games by Durant. Durant still scored 40 though. Imagine if he had an average Durant game... He may have pushed Jordans record.

No one answered me, why did TC only play 3 min?

bwoolf2 · Post #691 » by **bwoolf2** » Sat May 6, 2023 5:09 am

Warren +20 Landale + 10 Ross + 8 Shamet -10

Does the coaching staff not see these things it's been the same for Shamet every **** game

Because Shamet.

Warren was huge. Two big shots in the highest pressure moment when he has been benched all series. Landale was also amazing obviously.

Other than Booker, most of the team can play better. Booker won’t go 20/25 again, but KD should be better. Payne and Ross didn’t shoot well but they actually made a 3 each which have been incredibly rare for anyone not named Booker.

Win game 4 and it’s a new series. Hopefully the bench gained a little confidence from this one, and it can continue to grow. Missing Paul can help in that regard, cause we absolutely needed the bench to do something.

I'm glad he decided to just try to get to the line since his shot wasn't falling. Much better than him becoming passive

So Craig goes from starting and playing great in the first round to basically DNP tonight what gives Monty? Someone explain how this man’s head has been shoved so far up his own ass that he forgets about the dude who he started last week.

Game 2 was so winnable but some early adversity might be ok. This team still hasn't meshed yet

Monty said that we were gonna play more offensive players around Book and KD....that's why he played Ross, Warren and Landale more minutes tonight.

They literally are avoidable as ****.

It makes sense in theory to play Shamet because, in theory, he can handle the ball and hit shots. But he is not doing either one of those things. He is getting cooked on defense as well so you might just play anybody else.

If we lose to Denver who gets most of the blame?
