    Every possession with Ant manning the point invokes him dribbling the ball for 12 seconds before making a move.

    like wtf. Simons hasn't done anything THAT bad. Got blocked once and missed a couple wide open looks. Nothing our other players don't do. Outside of that he had a couple great drives and kicks, has run the pick and pop with Melo a few times that resulted in missed shots. WTF are they expecting him to do?

    Simons hurt them both by missing the shot and then hesitating before getting back on D.

    Simons needs to go to a tanking team whose going to win maybe 20 wins for the season. He cannot play for a wannabe contender. Olshey is fucking stupid for thinking otherwise

    This is going to be the problem the next week or two. Do we:

    1) Play Dame 40+mpg and run him into the ground
    2) Play Dame 36-40mpg, knowing we'll likely get ourscored by 10-15 in the minutes he's out

    for fucks sake. he's taken 4 shots. with the nitpicking and criticism he gets, you'd think he was playing us out of this game, and the sole reason for it .

    Much bigger picture....it is certainly not just this one game and his last 6 1/2 minutes. Come on, you're better than that.

    yes, the 4 mins he played last game is so different. it's what ive been saying. we have yet to really be able to judge him fairly, yet people pile on him nonstop in game threads.

    This is the kinda idiotic post I'm talking about . And you're here lecturing about big picture?

    Melo was -12. Why aren't you pointing that out?
