    To be fair I really am not a Stotts fan at this point, and I think Stotts rotations are questionable, and he allows his bigs (ALL of them) to be put in bad situations way too much.

    He was third coming into tonight’s game. I think behind Blake Griffin and Curry. Kemba has been killing it too. Blake only had 7 tonight.

    He is....but he's also shooting .382 overall which is the bigger picture and clouds over his 3-pt percentage. That and his very low assist total and poor Asst/TO ratio combined with very poor defense and if he's not shooting it well, he contributes very little. He really needs his own team away from Dame and I think he would be much better.

    You are right. I was just pointing out the one thing he is doing well. They’ve been pretty clutch at the right time too.

    I want Butler without losing CJ. That is how we contend.

    I don't know if there's a way for that to happen without killing our bench.

    If we don’t give up CJ were probably giving up Collins. I’d rather give up CJ. Easy.

    Agreed. Without a second thought.

    By the way folks, I've got a thread up about CJ if you want to move conversations there.

    It's not, just tired of people seeing how many shots he missed and then resorting to the basic lazy argument of "CJ ISO Ball!"

    Aminu/Turner package would be perfect and would improve Minnesota’s defense. And Thibs loves Turner.

    Start Dame/CJ/Butler/Zach/Nurk

    Second unit Curry/Nik/Mo/Layman/Meyers

    In fairness, I think Bones is talking about process while the rest of us are focused on the results.

    Sometimes players take the right shot or make the right pass and the result is still no points. The second part of this argument is that if the right process is followed you will get the right result - eventually. Personally, I'm with Einstein - insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.

    Is Zach our 3rd best player this year so far? 2nd?

    Aminu is totally useless. No point in holding Zach back I feel like- play him more mins at 4 and 5

    Having a mentally illness, I do not believe that is insanity. Insanity is more serious than that. And you can get different outcome by being persistent. Happens all the time.

    CJ needs to dump that Instagram thot posing as a trainer and head out west to Drew Hanlen.

    But that's PART of the process is his fuck ups, thus the result: choking away games like this.

    It's year 5. Even Einstein didn't make the same mistakes after 5 years of working on something. "Eventually".....how much longer?
