If Birch is backing up Vuc, that means no Bamba.

Absolutely no way in hell, for the now or for the future, Aminu should be starting over Okeke. Limit his minutes from the starting spot if that's still a concern.

Looks like Clark is out of the rotation with aminu back

[KillMonger]

Lol aminu plugged right into the Starting lineup

he earned it lol

[penny_nz]

PG dribbles ball up, quick pass to Vuc, Vuc dribble handoff to Evan, Evan shoots or drives, I think I've seen this play before... Man I'm ready for something different

[Ducklett]

FIRE CLIFF FIRE CLIFF FIRE CLIFF

[penny_nz]

Yep Birch in for Vuc, so Bamba drops down the bench. I really don't know what more he has to show to get minutes over Birch. So damn short sighted

[KillMonger]

back to the bench bamba

[basketballRob]

I hope Bamba doesn't play and they lose.

Does Birch have a better IQ than Mo? Yes, no argument there. Would Mo get a lot of the rebounds that Khem misses because he's too small for the position? Also yes. Tough choice between the two if you want to win IMO. Of course, long term wise, Bamba obviously is the one to play.

[Last Guardian]

On queue, Stewart goes right over Birch to get the rebound. Simply doesn't happen with Mo imo.

[Def Swami]

Bamba had one bad game and hes back to the doghouse lol.
