That's what I'm thinking too, though it probably makes sense to have him stick around until after this extended homestand. Lots of practice time/time to become comfortable.

It's upsetting as a fan seeing him buried at the end of the bench. Masai hopefully knows something we don't, especially when I'm seeing guys who were on the board (Rodney Hood, and KJ McDaniels) play minutes off the bench for their respective teams in their first season.

I was really on the McDaniels train during draft time. How a guy at his size was blocking that many shots was unbelievable. with a little coaching and some time hitting the threes, he looks like a great 3D player.

Hood and Mcdaniels wouldnt see floortime on this team either, they only see time because of teams they are on.

He would have had some PT if Casey didnt play his starters right to the end in blowouts.

We should just lease him to the Sixers. That's like an NBDL team, except in the NBA!

Exactly, and when he was drafted it was always going to be a long-term project. We weren't drafting him for immediate contribution, even as little as 5 minutes which is what some of you are arguing. We're talking about a team that's 5-1 and you all are complaining about an 18 year old that can't get PT on a deep roster.

Would it be nice to see him play a little? Sure but he's very raw so unless it's a complete blowout it's not going to happen. Expect that and you won't be disappointed.

You say it like we've blownout so many opponents this early in the season. The only game that happened to an extent was Washington and that's a very dangerous team that with a few three's could have got right back in the game.

Also I dont think that part even matters since Bruno and Bebe just rock suits. Really hope Casey lets them suit up for this game.

Got me thinking...maybe an NBA team could design alternative uniforms that look like actual suits...the other team will be all confused as to who is active and not...okay perhaps it is better if I stop thinking now.

If we didn't see Bruno/Bebe play a minute vs the Wizards in a utter blow out..
Or Bebe, when our starting 4/5 was out vs the Celtics..well..

I just don't expect Casey to play ether player at all unless half our team is injured.

Free dat boy Bruno!

Free dat Bay Bay Abdul Jabbar!

I'm starting to get a little mad about Bruno not playing at all. I've been watching all the other rookies experiencing their first ups and downs and i'm getting anxious.

5-1 team that's in first place in the Eastern Conference. Enjoy that.

We all want to see Bruno and are intrigued by his potential but reality is he's just not going to play much. If all you watch this team for is Bruno and rookie development, you're watching for the wrong reasons.

Yea man don't get me wrong bro i'm enjoying it just as much as anyone as a fellow diehard fan myself. There's just a few things i'd do differently with distributing minutes.

I have no clue what people are complaining about :crazy:

. He'll be sent to the Dleague soon enough.

Maybe and you're absolutely well within you're right to think that or want that. Heck, I think we all want to see that but we're not in a development year of building, we're in a year we're trying to win and unfortunately, reality is that Bruno probably can't give us much right now.

You're going to dress the guys that you think can help you win. That's not Casey's fault or some kind of hate towards young guys/rookies/non-vets, it's just a case of a really good team trying to win and you know what you get from your vets right now.

A year or two from now this may be an issue. Unless it's a crazy blowout against a clearly inferior opponent (Washington doesn't really count) and he dressed, he's just not going to play much and people should just accept it.

We could have a 50-point blowout and Casey would put Bruno in for maybe the last 30 seconds.

If Bruno cant get in the game when we are beating the 76ers by 40 at home... will he ever play in this league?

becausephilchow · Post #760 » by **becausephilchow** » Mon Nov 10, 2014 2:23 am

Bruno wasn't dressed for the game, he couldn't have played even if we wanted him to, lol.

Bruno will develop in the d-League and through practices. As much as I want him to play, Casey's gotta play those whom are going to help us win.

Not to mention, we're 7-Games into the season, and definitely need to shake off the rust and get everybody back in the Groove.

Getting the chemistry right between Lou/JJ and the rest of the team, is more important than playing Bruno, IMO.

On a scale from one to five, how high are you on Bruno?
