Is Doc Still Going to Refuse to Play the Young Guys? 

Post#1 » by Quake Griffin » Sat Oct 21, 2017 9:15 pm

Dekker, Harrell, and Thornwell almost got no run in Game 1.

Meanwhile New Jamal (Lou Will) gets 25 minutes.


More of the same? Or should I relax because it is just one game?

Doc pulled all of them out because of a 8-0 run by the Lakers in crunch time. Doc is still afraid of losing.

Relax.

Eventually he'll have to play either one of Dekker / Harrell along side Wejo for the 2nd unit.

But the rotations were fine during game 1. Saw staggering, and Lou Williams should play ahead of those guys at this point.

We have so many new guys, even though they are vets we still need to get them into a groove playing well with each other.

Hard to complain about the first two games. Doc's number one by far job is to win games. Give the team a month to really jell and then he can look to secondary priorities. Gallo, Milo, Lou, and Beverly are new. Doc nay want to make sure they get some regular minutes early in this season.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

I would rather inflate the numbers of Lou and Wes so we can trade them. then we can play Dekker and Thornwell to hearts content.

How's Dekker's game? I haven't gotten a chance to watch him at all.
