    Weren't you the one whining about the bench? Guess what? Stotts made a rotation move, and Leonard had 2 point/4 rebounds/1 block in 10 minutes while being a +1 on the floor. Stotts made a change to the rotation, and suddenly you're questioning the move? If Crabbe had played over Wright, would you have started a thread about Wright being benched?

    How am I questioning the move? Your reading comprehension really needs some work G.

    I asked why people thought Robinson fell out of rotation tonight. I didn't say it was a bad move, I didn't say it was a good move, I asked why the move was made. Stop having such a knee-jerk reaction to anything that isn't "OMG WE WON THE GAME! WE WON AGAIN! I LOVE DAME! I LOVE LA! I LOVE STOTTS! I LOVE PORTLAND!"

    It's a legitimate question. Why didn't Robinson play? Do you know the answer?

    I still think my answer was the best. I'm going to email it to Canzano.

    I'm with Nate. Not a negative OP at all. The guy didn't play and no one has said why. So Nate asked for people's theories. What's your theory, PapaG?

    If that's the case, he looked pretty fucking good tonight.

    I think he meant that Leonard looked better tonight than TRob has been recently. What I like about the move is hat moves Freeland to backup PF where he can be even more productive.

    I can't complain. He actually played well! All I want is this type of performance

    I remember it perfectly. You must not be able to recognize a clearly facetious post.

    Because Leonard moved ahead of the back-up PF who can't defend or shoot, and who has a PER of 14.7 with a usage rate of 23.7?

    Robinson simply isn't very good. This is one of the bench moves I'd expect against a team like NO that packs the defense inside. I remember when Nate McMillian was bashed because he never deviated from his rotation on a game by game basis. Stotts did tonight, and it paid off.

    I didn't think he looked all that good. He didn't crash the boards all the well. Some of the rebounds bounced right to him. Got pushed out of position. He was better at blocking or altering shots.

    Attacking Nate was unnecessary.

    That's fine. I'm not opposed to that move. Something had to be done because the bench simply wasn't scoring. I don't know why you automatically think that I'm bashing the move.

    That was a lot of legwork for a throwaway post. Just saying...
