    Biggie has 2/6/1 in 5 minutes off the bench and people are hating. Why?

    Dame, Hassan, and Ariza have combined for 32 minutes and 9 FGA's. CJ has 12 minutes and 9 FGA's.

    Because Simons is not good at defense.

    Jermaine O'Neal with an interesting comment about how giving minutes to a young player who isn't ready is likely to do more harm than good in terms of long-term development. Something to think about when we wish those unproven rookies were getting more minutes; it might not be best for them or the team.

    Was just going to say the same thing haha

    Edit: I really like O'Neal's insight--he'd make a good color analyst.

    That's 42 offensive boards per 35 minutes. It seems noteworthy.

    He’s playing really well. Refs still giving him the rookie treatment though.

    Should Neil sign him to a 90 million dollar contract after the game?

    The position is called SHOOTING GUARD for a reason.

    some were. Regardless, he had a good stint. Some people have already made their minds up about him so I don’t expect those people to acknowledge what he did wel.
