The road back to .500 continues in Memphis tonight on the first leg of a back to back. We've played decent on back to back this year so far so let's hope that continues.

How **** stupid is brown we have four offensive guns and he finds a way to have a lineup without one of them out there

Mike is truly a special kind of stupid.

Benches fox, monk, derozan and sabonis at the same time. Like what?

Deciding to give Jmac minutes instead of Keon.

I just can't understand how this guy is a head coach sometimes.

pop is off the bench not defense. although that also depends on McLaughlin being playable which he hasn't been yet

I'm close to just wanting Keegan moved for anything, just sick of him

Need to see Isaac Jones rebound better, that's the one criticism I have for him right now. He needs to do a better job of using his body to box out, he doesn't have great hands either. Love his energy though.

So glad Keon isn't getting minutes so Huerter can go 0-6 on wide open 3s.

Keon? Isn't that the guy that shoots over 40% from three for his career?

What you have a problem with a Huerter, Crowder, Keegan, Jones, and McLaughlin lineup

Yeah this team is highly unbalanced lol

Ugh!

This season is pretty close to be over if this thing continues to go bad.

This team isn’t giving me a reason to believe.

I give up! A simple thing as not giving up open threes is still happening helping one pass away you won’t see another team do that not even in high school

Pop comes off the bench, not 1/2 shooting stat lines with no creation (Keon)

Only way Keon will begin to come off the bench is if the pop on the team is unplayable, which is working itself there. Kevin, being pop, was always going to get a chance over Keon, on the bench. If your Brown you have to see if Huerter doesn’t have an easier time vrs backups or if he equally is bad as he’s been in the starting lineup. If McLaughlin made actually didn’t suck, Keon would be buried

Here’s the thing we suck and aren’t deep both Kepn and Kevin should be getting time not one or the other

You seem to be obsessed with "pop" off the bench so where are you expecting that "pop" to come from with Monk in the starting lineup? Huerter going 3-10 from the field, including 0-6 from deep, with zero assists certainly is not "pop". You still haven't refuted any of the numbers that show Keon as one of our biggest net positive players on the team. Why do you think that is? Believe it or not, there are ways to be an effective contributor in the NBA without being a shot creator.

Huerter has only come off the bench for a couple of games with mixed results... More nights like last night and he will be out of the rotation, but he's making ~18 mil or whatever because he has some innate talent and you have to see if he can do something on the bench. "Good" Huerter, like last game off the bench, offers an offensive look the bench needs that Keon just doesn't possess.

Again, Keon's game is ill fitted for a bench role. He can be passable when there is a ton of offense around him. Our bench is anemic offensively. He has no offensive gravity. The entire role of a bench player is to be a spark plug, not a defensive role playing linch pin.

The numbers just bely the fact for me that he doesn't have starting talent and it will be tough to find a bench role for him when we are desperately in need of offensive creation coming from that bench
