    Yeah, was disappointed by some wide open three misses. But, he wasn't alone.

    Zero rebounds. Zero assists. The guy literally contributed nothing on the floor. He was a warm body and nothing else.

    Same non factor he was in preseason. When Gasol comes back one of Skal/Tolliver is getting benched, and it better not be Skal.

    You realize you can hustle on defense and not produce stats right?

    Well, I watched the game and he didn't do anything noteworthy from a defensive or offensive standpoint that would reflect a good non-stat-bearing performance.

    Don't confuse effort with results.

    You realize you can hustle on defense and still be old and slow right?

    Cut him, it will help our team on the court. Give Skal all of his minutes. I don’t care if he is a career 38% shooter from 3, he looks old and his shooting form makes me wanna puke.

    I'm willing to give him a bit longer to prove himself, but am really disappointed in his play these first two games.

    Can't wait till we get rid of him!

    Come on Olshey, show some of that charm and trade him for a "disappointing young player".

    Do you think Stotts is playing Tolliver because he’s a vet? Or that he did something in camp to look like he deserved it? Theres gotta be some reason he’s getting minutes...

    He’s a vet and he spaces the floor (in theory.) I don’t know which one of those two Stotts has a hard on for more.

    I'm working on the Anthony Tolliver story for adaptation to a screenplay..... it's a movie about a fan being taken out of the stands to fill in off the bench. I was inspired by the musical masterpiece Bust a Bucket.

    My thought is if Stotts has a role for him in mind then they should continue for 10ish games to see if it ever starts to click. If it continues to look this bad theyve gotta get him off the court, cause he’s reminds me ML out there, he’s thinking way too much, a step slow defensively, hesitating to take open shots, even if he is a serviceable role player somewhere it may be he just isnt that here. Just like ML his main job is to shoot the ball and if he’s hesitating to take open jumpers then he’s just not going to work.
