Your characterization of Bogs as an average SG is unfair. Dude has had a horrible shooting year but he's a brilliant pick and roll wizard who can guard three positions. How does a guy plummet from 39% on 3s as a rookie to 34%? Do you consider last year a fluke? I don't. I expected him to...

Barnes does not have the mobility or creativity to a full-time 3. He's a mechanical player without a lot of "wiggle", to borrow a term Yogurt is fond of. He defers a lot offensively for a 25M dollar player. He probably needs to lose 10 pounds this summer, run sprints and lean out. He's...

I appreciate your enthusiasm and positive outlook OC, but Willie is not a keeper at any price. He's just not. We can do better and we will. Willie is not a starting caliber center. I wish it would have worked out with him, since we invested in him for so long with a high draft pick and many...

If he has a legitimate health issue, which he has claimed to be a non-issue, that is yet another reason (reason #29495921) not to retain him beyond this year.

I like his defense. The only hole I see in Buddy's game is getting to the free throw line. I would like to see him get to the line 4-5 times per game which he has the last few games. There's no reason he cannot use his shooting ability to bait more defenders to foul him or set up his drive...

It is a little thing that has stuck in my craw but Willie doesn't acknowledge the sweet passes he gets. Bogi or Fox will drop a perfect pass into his bread basket and you would think he is doing them a favor. Is it so hard to show a little love? It is called camaraderie. Owen Benjamin has...

Is Buddy eligible for an extension this summer? Max him out!

I don't buy this. I think what can happen in crunch time when a team is watching their lead slip away, especially a bad or average team is that they become more frantic and adamant about getting to the rim. They are desperate to stop the momentum against them. Their discernment and execution...

Willie has the longest leash.

I think so but I don't know where or if Bjelica fits in. I think Barnes is going to take his minutes. Barnes stays in front of his man on the perimeter. Bjelica not so much. Barnes is more switchable and probably rebounds as well. Barnes is also a methodical somewhat mechanical player. So...

Elephant in the room? Marvin is an awesome player who had an off game. Don't be so fickle towards a guy with All-NBA talent. It is challenge for everybody right now trying to gain comfort and familiarity. It is not easy incorporating two new guys with minimal practice, when you a key player...

His defense is good, so much better than what we have had to bear witness to on the wings. Wade got hot on him in the 1st half but Barnes knows how to play defense. On offense he needs to cut more instead of hanging out behind the line. He made a stupid entry pass but overall he makes good...

Reading this thread is entertaining after the fact, i.e. after knowing the outcome.

Bogi was still instrumental down the stretch as bad as he was for most of the game . I still love his ability to create out of half court sets and be poised under duress. He's going to break out this slump.

He can play 4 against many teams.

The lineup we started the game with that included Barnes and Bjelica didn't work. Just as I suspected. We are not going to see a lot of those guys on the floor together. We abandoned that lineup to start the second half, with Bogi replacing Bjelica, and went with the lineup I wanted to see...

I don't like the idea of starting Bjelica and Barnes. I am not feeling it. It could work but I would rather us put Bogi with the starters now that we have a combo guard in Burks to run with the second unit. I hope we see a starting lineup of Fox - Buddy - Bogi - Barnes - Willie. Then Bagley...

It wouldn't matter how much Jackson lifted weights, he wouldn't look like Barnes. Barnes is a mesomorph, Jackson is an ectomorph. Jackson can make gains, not that he did so last Summer. He looks (and acts) like a vegan to me. I imagine he consumes a lot of salads and tofu. Anyway that is...

He's in the worst slump his career, probably including his Euro days. Bogi has made 7 out of his last 44 threes over his 7 games for 16% :confused: I hope that having Burks as a combo guard with Yogi can get him freer looks with less effort. In fact I think this part of the motivation of...
