They should each be 20-25 mpg role players, and Claxton should be getting the majority of the C minutes.
Claxton usually plays more mins in 2nd half, and Nash has implied that Claxton is on an unofficial minutes restriction as Nets are cautious with his injury history/weak frame.

Bulls have lost 6 straight games and have been terrible since their new fancy trade.

Obviously they are desperate to get a win and we are short handed. Not even mad about this loss.

No cohesion.

That's definitely understandable. It's better to have him play more minutes if and when we need him down the stretch to get stops and close out games.

Everything looks disjointed on offense. What a mess

Man what a horrible showing. We need to go on a little run. Nash need to put Alize in or something. These guys are mopping around

I guess this is what happens when you only have one creator on the floor at a time.

They're keeping Kyrie in front and walling off the paint. This is when KD's game would completely blowup this defensive strategy. Alas, we must wait another game or two until he comes back.

The Sunday afternoon games always have an off feeling. We need to get stops, our defense is lacking. Once we get it under ten the mentality changes and we get back to details.

It would help a lot if Kyrie was actually shooting well this game.

Kyrie's shot selection has been garbage. He can take a pull up 3 literally any time he wants, why do it with 17 seconds on the clock? Especially when you're off.

So I get minutes restrictions for Claxton, but there's 16 minutes of game time left lol. He maxes out at 22 minutes even if he plays the rest of the game.

Not that I think Claxton is some superstar game changer or anything like that, but he's consistently shown the ability to make a real difference defensively. Worth a shot, is all I'm saying.

So honestly looks like Claxton is hurt, and that's why he's not in.

You guys are acting like Claxton was playing well.

What exactly is he going to change? Hes been basically useless on offense for the last 5 games. And thats what we need right now.

We just don't have it today, Kyrie is so off and everybody is just slow. Nash need to throw Alize in there, get some energy going. Do something different because this is not it.
