Sure. We got rid of Jrue at the absolute right time.

The last two years Jrue just wasn't getting it done in the playoffs. Still the right move. Now we wait and see if Dame can get it done.Ron Swanson wrote:Ryan5UW wrote:This season is becoming confirmation that the Packers approach of getting rid of someone a year too early instead of a year too late is the way to go.

We had Khris for much of Grief's tenure. This bodes well once he comes back.yannisk wrote:during the reign of coach Grief the defense was terrible but the offense was great
now the defense is very bad and the offense is bad too

Can we make a plaque. I'll file for a permit with the City to erect a monument, thinking obelisk here, to memorialize the all that doomsayin' for the sake of posterity.

I guess what was your plan at the time? If we knew we could've got the DDV contract he did that summer, sure we keep him but I don't see any chance in hell he was staying for that price. He wanted a 4 year deal and pretty decent money for a guy who appeared injury prone and shooting 47%TS AT THE TIME. It was just bad timing. If he never got hurt, he probably stays our starter but he was the odd man out at the deadline when we needed a big. Serge was the wrong guy but we didn't know we would suddenly have a shortage of wings.

Never was good in the playoffs yet so teams keep letting him walk. I can't give him flowers yet.. still might be a regular season wonder.
-Jragon- wrote:I said it in the GT but my biggest gripe RN is that I think a coach should be willing to sit role players when their shot is off early. Let's be honest, they are here only serve a specifically role of 3 AND D and only came here because we have Giannis which gives us a chance for a ring. Because of that.. they are expected to provide those 2 pieces and when they don't, the guys behind them on the bench are about the same talent level.
We don't owe role players a specific amount of minutes and we shouldn't ride them and let them shoot themselves hot. When Beas and Pat C, for example, shoot a combined 2 - 14 from 3.. that's 14 shots Giannis or Dame could have taken themselves with double teams on them and likely produce more -- so in the playoffs they'll ignore open shooters if Doc let's cold guys stay in the game.
Dame is a HOF player and there will be times his jumper is off and yep we will let him shoot out of it but come on.. if Beas or Pat C start off 0 - 2 or 0 - 3 on wide open shots then the next dude should come in. Short leash. Let him shoot the rust off during halftime and give him another run in the 3rd.. short leash. Normalize finding the hot hand because this loses is games and if you wait til the playoffs to start cutting guys minutes that can hurt their confidence worse. Start doing it now.. then let them refocus and get him another chance next game. If it's too much pressure for them -- how will they even handle a playoff game anyways. AJJ and MB should have took some of their minutes last night and at least could have ran with their speed. Doc, use some intuition and discretion and notice which role players are off that day and stop letting them shoot out of it. Get Gallo in.. find who will hit those open shots that day.

Doesn't really put him off the Lowry path. People were saying that about Lowry for like 11 years
