Too much empowerment of guys to just take 3s when its not their game.

He should be put in his best position to succeed which is a bench role in small spurts whenever they need defense and effort to step up a notch and retake momentum. Starting him is just blasphemy.

If DLo and Towns are starting then it is okay to play a low-usage guy like Okogie in the starting lineup. But they aren't playing so he CANT play with Rubio and Vanderbilt. IDK, it seems like Ryan doesn't want to 'demote' him but he's putting a hopeless starting lineup out there.

Every game is the same. Waits until a Wolves lead is squandered or a huge opponent lead builds before calling time to stop the fall.

Watching Lakers/76ers earlier and 76ers had two early runs and Lakers called time to break the runs. Second time really helped and they got it close again before half. Just can't expect that here. Ryan must have timings for lineups written on his cheatsheet.

Okogie doesn't deserve to be exposed like that either. Ryan or who the hell decides who's playing or not are not helping.

i sort of agree that it's less egregious when Dlo/Kat are there. But it's still not the best place for him imo.
I 100% agree they can't be doing it now with Rubio and Vando.

I hardly think it's Rosas fault JO couldn't 4 open 3's mate... That's on the player 100%

No, we all know Josh can't shoot well. I'm saying it's Rosas fault we don't have better options than Josh to take those shots. Josh is who he is, we know he can't show, it's not as big a problem when he is an energy guy with a bunch of shooters on the floor.

Well. Ryan threw this game away in the third. Thanks Ryan.

I get idea that Saunders should get a chance to be evaluated after having KAT and DLo play together. But does anyone feel after the last few weeks that it will make a difference?

But they do have other players that can be played there. They just refuse to start them for whatever reason. I don't know what the bar is for starting on this team. Apparently whether you rub Ryan's feet after practice, might be something like that.

What are we 4/18 this quarter? I dislike this team.

Thank you for ruining my night once again. The game was within reach but we have the smartest coach alive.

His stuttering interview was embarrassing...

He stays because the list is absolute hot trash and no leaders to show the rooks the right way.

This game was lost when we gave up nearly 60 at the half and Steph hadn’t even introduced himself to the game yet.

Jedzz · Post #177 » by **Jedzz** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 5:04 am

Now they have huge Wiseman out there and we have no center. Wonderful team.

The comical part is the fact that Taylor or Rosas stated that he is not in jeopardy of losing his job. I don’t know what he has to show to be in jeopardy. I get wanting to see him with town and dlo, but how many excuses will he continue to have.

Jedzz · Post #179 » by **Jedzz** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 5:06 am

Jmac should have been playing when Curry does.
Rubio should have been playing when Mulder and Wannamaker play.

How can't "pro" paid coaches see this? Adjust your lineups or get out of our sight.

Most of us wanted Ryan to do well if they were giving him the job. But c'mon man.

How many coaches actually own a piece of the franchise? Wonder if that has something to do with it.
