    They played 9 last night. I would love to see 10. It won't be 8 until the Playoffs.
    If Stotts went 11 men and the team won people would still complain.

    Ant didn't play at all last night and I would MUCH rather have had him take Rodney's minutes.

    Maybe?
    Hood is bigger so maybe not? Simons might have gotten abused badly.
    The combination on the floor was working. Don't fix what isn't broke.

    Hood contributed nothing to that combination.

    He held his own. He moved and adjusted with the team. Statements like that are kind of tough to read.
    Defense is a team game.

    If he can't hit an open shot, he's a massive liability. His defense has also been really poor. Just because he was out on the floor when the team was playing well doesn't mean that he was a positive factor, or even a neutral factor. It just means that we were able to absorb his net negative.
