So why are we playing Grant and not Patterson?

I think Ferguson is going to be a really good defender. Hopefully he’s still quick after he puts on more than 150lbs.

We never play him next to Adams. He's always out there with our trash.

That was one of the worst missed out-of-bounds calls I've ever seen.

That CLEAR AS DAY hit Mejiri in the face.

Refs in full effect already. How was that a foul on PG too?

He's completely misused. You can't expect him to carry a bench unit. He's a glue guy who should play with our best players, not with our worst.

Our bench would be so much better if our scrubs could make shots like the Mavericks' scrubs.

I don't buy that he's getting weighed down by our trash but he should be getting more minutes regardless.

Davis makes it sound like George had a thirty point first half.

57 points from the Mavs is about what I expect without Robes in the lineup. Still the way we contest threes ugh.

He's been awful no matter what.

Also, I'm nominating a new game. A contest pregame to pick who plays more minutes, Huestis or a random Ferguson sighting.

This. Patterson has proven elsewhere he is an excellent role player/glue guy. Expecting him to shine with an three other bench players (who aren't very good) and a non-playmaker star isn't putting him in a position to succeed.
