Wesley Matthews Inserted Into Starting Lineup

This makes me worried about our bench pts. Maybe they'll run some stuff through Nic now.

 

Run what through him? He can't post up or create his own shot. All he's good at is finishing on the break and knocking down threes. He's a complementary player. Not someone you run offense through. We'll be running the offense through Johnson. Hopefully, he can create good shots for Batum.

 

I actually agree. Batum has not shown himself capable of posting up (even on point guards..) or creating his own shot.

I don't get your logic, so bench Roy (who is shooting 53% and scoring 24 pts a game since his return) instead of the guy who has scored 7 points in the last two games. If Roy is hurt or not able to play much this season we won't make the playoffs. With Roy at least we have a shot. My hope is we use our golden chips (Pryz and Millers contracts) at the trade deadline and pick up another scorer or big who rebounds like Noah. They'll be some very good available players at the deadline hopefully we'll finally make that big trade we've all been waiting for.
