I don't know whether Evans can maintain this for a whole season, but Rip Hamilton ain't got **** for him.

Funny how that coincides with the first time he's playing with at the 2 with a decent SF and PG

I like Evans out first, Hopefully he comes back in early. Gives MT time with the starters, and Evans some time with the bench.

Take the hottest player on the court out? I don't know what part of the game that is...

It's good, if he gets back in around 5-6 min mark. Better than last year, riding him through 10min mark of 2nd and just benching him through half.
I'd rather see around 2-3 mark. And give him a longer run going into half myself. He should be able to handle it.

If you ride Evans and Cousins all quarter+ neither will come back till almost halftime. They are our two best players, and we need to spread them out a bit.
That's what, a 7-0 run?

I think that's what we might see. Smart pulled him about 2 min mark. I don't like riding a hot player into the 2nd, then just benching him through half. They lose rhythm.

ya things are really looking great since Smart took Tyreke out. and what the hell is Garcia doing in the game

Well apart from the ridiculous amount of turnovers, the team has played well. Tyreke is having a great game so far the shot looks much improved. He is getting really nice arc on it now with a decent follow through! We should start featuring Cousins more on the block though not much of that going on
What do you think he is doing? You put in another shooter when you have the last play of the quarter.
I don't think I like it. Our small quick pg was having problems getting the offense started and reke was not so I would have put MT in with reke handling and if you want to bridge it so you have one or the other on the floor all the time pull Cousins for a few minutes. But really Reke should be able to play 2 quarters straight when he is on fire.
Instead we put in another small quick pg who will be facing the same defense that will make it hard to get into the offense. This is why its good to have a different look from your subs sometimes.

didnt realise garcia was that old tbh... 30 
5 offensive boards for them. That's the big difference I see.

god when will Smart learn to always leave at least 1 or 2 starters on the floor. never all 5 on the bench. STUPID

You don't ride guys two quarters straight. Just doesn't happen. They need a blow.
Our defense will always suffer when we have Brooks/MT together with Cisco at SF. We're small at all 5 positions right now.
So much for the "We are just switching entire lines because it's preseason" thought, eh? No starters in to start the second.

Man, our 'point guards' are not helping anyone tonight.

Yeah, this lineup just won't succeed defensively. What's worse is Smart doesn't appear to have a clue how to get a guy a good shot. Just 1v1 crap right now.
There is no rebounding or low post threat at all either. I think even JT would make a world of difference. With this lineup it's going to be all one and outs for us, and multiple oboards for them.
