    I think our lack of size is gonna get exposed today. Poetl is too big for Giles, but that’s not Harrys fault. Where’s Olshey at?

    I would give Ant 5-6 minutes in each half to rest Dame. Same with Hood to rest Trent.

    Giles needs about 9 minutes per half to rest Kanter

    Jones, Covington, and Melo will divide the two forward spot minutes up evenly. (32 each)
    Maybe throw Little some minutes as well.

    [​IMG]He will succeed and get 18 points. However, why didn't Stotts start Gary Trent Jr.?

    I’d be surprised if Trent didn’t start.

    Kanter does not usually get in foul trouble because he is not that aggressive on D.
    This is a good thing at the moment, with the current depth chart. We need him on the floor to rebound.

    We’re 8-5 as the team is beating teams they suppose to beat. Make no mistake, we still suck.

    Looks like CJ will not play as the Spurs are favored by 2.5 points

    Hood is starting. I’m not against that. Would like to see him get more touches and see where he’s really at.

    So CJ is out for a whole week. Really hope this doesn't slow down the hot start he's had.

    Hopefully Nassir gets Hoods spot in the 2nd Unit

    Rodney Hood starting over Trent. Stotts continues to find new ways to be a joke.

    If Trent plays more than Hood, what's the big deal?

    Crazy to think that the notion of starting the 3rd highest paid available player on the roster is a bad idea, but that's how we build rosters here.

    The only way we win this is if Dame goes Nuclear.

    In what fucking world do you not start GTJ. Stotts is so bad at his job it's baffling.
