Batum as backup PG
did he not just turn the ball over in the clutch again and heave up trash late in the game too...
like he always does? batum spends the first 3 quarters wanting to believe he's the setup guy then he gets shook and backpedals the entire fourth. been like that for the majority of his time here.
yal acting like cliff doesn't realize kemba is our team's only reliable option. what coach is gonna make treveon and JOB look like real nba players for more than a week at a time? lol
cliff's got issues and im all about calling those otu - but none of those are why this team lost tonight.
I didn’t say he should be in there during crunch time. I just said he should be the backup PG running the second unit PG position when Kemba sits. Lamb starts at SG. Then we could actually play Monk at the SG spot.
In terms of crunch time, somebody besides Kemba is going to have to step up before this team can close out games.
batum can't even run a fast break anymore but he's supposed to run a half court offense?
this is a lot of a hoping and wishing and whatiffing when the most obvious fact here is that our 2nd string PG, who's one of the worst in the entire league, is out and there's literally no back up
the entire bench played trash tonight and the gm failed to give the team the players it needed to put a functional roster out. you gotta go out of your way to blame this one on clifford...
there's no available coach in the league that could've won this kind of game with no way player to effectively spell kemba and a bench with 5 total fgs along with horrible defense. I hate bonnell, but he's exactly right. people are looking to scapegoat a guy who failed to turn water into wine tonight.
