    He has a PER of 12.0 and a VORP of -0.2. He's a thoroughly mediocre and overpaid player. The sooner we can dump him the better.

    The team still plays like they only have to get a lead and the other team will stop trying.

    I would like to see either he or Crabbe gone. they are two mediocre players taking up cap space and roster space. Would trade either for a 2nd round draft pick because i am just tired of watching them.

    He's already been pulled once tonight for his lack of defense.

    Love how Harkless finishes with dunks so often. He's a quick leaper and decisive.

    don't know how much more uninspired you can get with this play. I have seen Aminu punked on defense, guys not closing out. Weird season

    I think Plumlee is getting smarter every game.

    Aminu seems to be the momentum killer.

    Defense is back to something that makes sense.

    He's +9 on the court...+11 now...Aminu gives us such better defense it's not even funny...zero turnovers...he's putting up Batum numbers tonight for 20 minutes
