    Is Dame on a slump? He looks tired out there.

    Stotts look into Jake's deep blue eyes. It's the eyes of somebody yearning for minutes to play! Grow out your rookie-hating, Grench like heart!

    I think Layman might be our best off the ball/open court runner, if that makes sense.

    That there is Zach Collins in a nutshell. A very thin nutshell.

    I'm foregoing "The Other Side" thread tonight. I'm not in a good mood thanks to loud neighbors, and I don't want to fuck with it over a team like the Knicks.

    Have a good night fams.

    Collins may have more upside but Vonleh is obviously developed more. Not Collins fault. He's younger and less experienced. But there it is.

    I noticed that as well you have to remember this is the 3rd game in 4 nights and those other 2 games he played a ton of minutes.

    Vonleh is not useless and Collins is not 'much better' than Vonleh

    but other than that, you were correct

    When Layman gets minutes, he produces. Can't figure out why Stotts keeps jerking him around.

    He was scoring the ball well. He's a rookie. They should be trying to develop his defense and decision making, to supplement his scoring.

    Our bench had 49 tonight and 3 players double figures. We had 25 assist tonight. Nurk in 19 minutes put up 20/8. I thought our first united kind went through motion especially the 1st half. 2nd half we step up the defense.

    I think it was because our D was so good with Mo last year (13 game win streak) and Stotts can only play so many people BUT now that Stauskas is out of the rotation, I think Layman will have regular minutes off the bench.

    Have any of you seen the Game Stats that Comcast provides on their Interactive Scoreboard? Wow!

    I just don't get all the Jake love. Yes he has good games occasionally, .but if you look at the season, he has only 5 games where he has scored more then 10 points. He has 17 games where he has played more then 10 minutes and scores less then 10 points. It is not like he plays like this all the time

    Layman telling Stotts with his play I am not giving my rotation minutes up. You gave this 2nd chance I am going to blow it. Nice 3 game stretch for him.
