Until Brooks learns that guys like Otto don't need to be arbitrarily capped at 30 minutes, we will struggle. There's nothing to save him for, the playoffs are now.

It is. He can't run a team. You can play him with Wall though.

Bojan is really bad. He's like a parasite because he takes Otto's minutes too.

Budenholzer is a great defensive coach.

If Morris picks up his third, we are going to have to go to Porter at the 4 and Millsap we'll just destroy him.

Seriously, the only scenario where he could help the team was if he took Jason Smiths minutes at the 4, and he hasn't

Burke will never be better than Jennings, Burke is Jimmer Fredette 2.0 he belongs in China.

Same old stupid Kief. Throwing up airballs, losing his man on D and stepping out of bounds.

Ahhh. The good old "run a team", qualitative argument. How did he run the team during the 17-2 run? How many possessions did he waste with his missed shots?

If we resimulated those minutes with Burke instead of Jennings, I am 100% sure the outcome would have been better.

He will probably have some hot games, he needs open looks to be worth a damn.

Going from "we are going to win in four" at 18-8 to "we might get swept".
