We were playing well and Shabazz has hit something of a rookie wall.
It's not so much wanting to play napier, I just don't want to see cole on the court. He is a net negative.
Cole is a good defender especailly with speed like Wall on the court. Shabazz will be much better PG but he's learning rookie things at the mo.
Did you watch the game? Cause Cole was literally a negative even if you look at the box score and he didn't contain Wall when it mattered the most. He also gave Wall so much room to shoot jumpers and these days Wall can do that. Then on the other side of the court there is Rio-Cole-Wade who shouldn't be on the court together. I believe Deng was at PF cause no one got a wide open rebound for PP to get after Wall missed. So many **** ups but it was close considering we didn't have Bosh. The Wiz though played pretty bad, they only hit 3 3's as well.
Shabazz had a good game in Brooklyn and a good game just like Cole the next (both sucked, Cole 1 point). Hard to say if Shabazz would even be bad against Wiz today, considering he would have been against Andre. Nobody is asking him to be against Wall. Cole also should not be seeing 30 minutes, and to get out a rookie slump you have to play. With that said Shabazz probably does play he next 2 games, but this holding him out against good teams I hope doesn't last long cause he is not the problem. Especially when we need offense he can actually run it, Cole doesn't.
