I like Meeks becuse he's one of the only ones that looks to pass to AG on the team. Seems to always get him good looks

Could be worse... he could be Duhon on a 4 year deal...

Silver lining: at least Green didn't fumble the ball away or blow a layup.

I think I've finally figured out Vogels rotations. I'm actually 100% positive we are stealth tanking right now. That's the only thing that could explain It. We intentionally use terrible lineups at certain points of a game so the other team makes a run. We consistently play guys like Jeff green with some of the worse plus minuses on the team minutes over guys that make more impact.

We're spending time trying to develop D.J. Augustin. Can't let the veteran Elfrid cut into his minutes.

How many FTs does Vuc avg a game nowadays?

DJ isn't that bad. He is a backup PG who can spell 15-20 minutes per game. Problem is he is asked to do a lot on this team and isn't physical or strong enough against the elite PG's of the league.

Because Vogel. Seriously though, we have some dumb players.

This point of the game you give the ball to guys who are going to be a triple threat. Gordon for that reason won't see the ball that much down the stretch.

No, you give it to the guy who's been shooting hot and is the sole reason your team is competing tonight. He's responsible for almost 1/3rd of the team's points.

But nah, let's give it to the guys who can't buy a shot tonight. (Vuc ain't too bad, but he's not having a killer night).

When you're looking at the roster... "Stealth tanking" seems like its unavoidable...

Was 2 minutes not enough time for doc to say:
"Whatever you do, don't pass to deandre. Chris, run a pick and roll, JJ run along the baseline until you're open, and chris either take the unguardable 15 footer, or kick to JJ"

Not many players on this team that I'd be upset to see go.

Somehow still around 2 and that's so low for Cs but it feels like too much for him. In last 10 games he had like 6 games with zero free trows

Vogel and the front office are gaslighting us.

We have to be these guys (mgmt and coaching staff) are so called deep into analytics. There's no way Green plays this much and so freely.

Nik has been one of our better players tonight against a tough matchup.

JJ Redick is still a boss.
