I hope playing small = PACE

I missed it!

 

[Tetsujin]

Quiet as it's kept, if we had a big on our bench as productive as Songaila, we'd have a much better record right now.

Hell, even moving Kosta to first big off the bench could be a huge help.

I just hope that doesn't mean a midget back court of Lawson and Collison then the rest is the same. Also, if they need time to get the wheels turning I hope he doesn't bail and gives them the same chance he did to the other starting rotation.

 

[Blob]

Yeah, could have told ya that on July 1 when we signed them. At this point Dion Waiters is looking pretty good

And if you would have told me that on July 1st I would have said you read my mind

“I’m gonna play small. I’ve seen enough… Demarcus is gonna play center. I don’t know who else is gonna play with him.“ - Joerger


Joerger's idea of small ball may just be not playing two centers at the same time anymore.

....to the opponent

James Ham ‏@James_Ham now
Joerger said he is moving Cousins back to the center position. He's seen enough.

Boy, you're fast copying those over!
(BTW - how do you get the Tweet to look like that when posting it here?)

The funny thing is that Cousins wasn't even playing PF, they were just playing two centers, duh!

I'm just straight copy/pasting them over from Twitter on Safari.

I hope Gay is moved back to PF. That experiment went swimmingly every single other time it's been attempted.

I hope Gay is moved back to PF. That experiment went swimmingly every single other time it's been attempted.

Even if he started Tolliver with Gay at SF it will help with spreading the floor and attacking shooters. Either way, the two center look can only work for specific matchups.

Coach asked about giving Casspi some minutes: "You want him to take some of Rudy's minutes. Ya that's not happening."

Coach seems salty tonight.

Criticize the other signings all you want but Temple has been great this season.

Good is more accurate assessment of his play than great.

Saw that. Really curious what happened with omri

He could take some of Afflalo's minutes?

 

[Entity]

I think kosta went on trading block tonight. He was obviously the weak link in the starting lineup.

 

[Tetsujin]

But then what happens to Ben "Jamal Crawford" McLemore's minutes?

 

[Blob]

There are so called fans who do not deserve to be watching this comeback.

Because legitimate criticism exempts you from watching the dominant team let their foot of the pedal out of boredom or over-confidence or both, and let the inferior team make the final score respectable but really never truly in doubt? Um....okay.

 

[Entity]

I'd rather temple get more of afflalo's min

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I'd rather temple get more of afflalo's min

So would I, to be honest. Just reacting to Joerger's quote in isolation.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah. In the case of Afflalo, both Temple and Ben have shown they deserve burn in the rotation. Don't need to shoehorn Omri into the guard rotation.

 

[ESP47]

Well he's a backup center so I'm not surprised at all that he isn't doing particularly well starting. He's a positive player off the bench in limited minutes as a backup and a negative player starting while playing big minutes. Of course these guys are going to struggle when playing out of position.

I said after the first or second game Barnes was going to squeeze Omri for minutes, and plus Joerger yanked Omri after a couple of careless turnovers in the first week of the season after a pre-season in which he was also loose with the rock. I like Omri but I cannot argue with Joerger's decision to play Barnes over him. For as up and down as Barnes has been, he has simply been better than Omri.

Bring Skal up from Reno!

I'm with you. Omri simply doesn't deserve minutes. He's Cisco Garcia with double to triple the boneheaded mistakes. For every single good thing he does he'll dribble it off his foot or throw it into the 5th row.

They were hoping wcs would come along and Koufos would back up is my guess but Joerger is forced to start him because we have no other option. papa lol wow

Oh yeah, 1 possession game in the final 2 minutes. What doubt could there be?

 

[Blob]

Gritty AF.

He matched his season high in the first half with 11 points and scored a season high with 18 points. This is what everyone has been waiting for. You have to put in proper perspective that it was a route and a lot of his points were with opponent conceding baskets with huge lead, but its a start.

Without even looking it up I know he has like a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio which is great but scoring only 5 PPG is just not cutting it. He needs to around 10 PPG and 8 APG to have any legitimate chance to retain his starting position into January.

Coach J: "I've seen enough. I'm going to play small. DeMarcus is going to play center."

Against Toronto?
