Brown can only spend 45 days with the active roster as a TWP. Maybe they are trying to determine whether there is really a need for him right now, don't want to waste those 45 days.
Well I find it hard to believe I just uttered the words I don’t wanna waste 45 days of Moses brown so that makes two of us.
Kinda pointless to bring brown up when he wouldn’t play. Like, whose minutes is Stotts cutting? We already have one big that doesn’t play enough.
What if Whiteside or Skal gets hurt? I'd rather have Brown playing C instead of Tolliver. But you're right, Stotts would probably play Simons at C before Brown. I think we're just talking about what should happen.
Tolliver is starting because A.) Stotts likes to start vets B.) There would ne nothing left for the bench
#FreeSKAL I'm all in on Skal right now. Just the improvement in screen awareness and defense in 7 games is pretty remarkable. There is no excuse for only playing him 15 minutes last game. I think we win last night and last Saturday if he stays in the game during crunch time. We had the lead when he subbed out in the 4th quarter both games. There was a play last night where he turned to his teammates and was trying to encourage them to pick it up. I love to see stuff like that. Give him minutes.
Skal would be such a good fit next to Whiteside. He’s got a game made for today’s nba, I wish we’d not only give him minutes but actually run plays for him. Is he the defender Zach is? Fuck no. But offensively, he’s better imo.
He's been elite in the pick and roll the last couple games. When his man doesn't hedge the pick Dame has gotten WIDE open looks for 3. If his man traps Dame he's an easy outlet for Dame to pass to. I actually wish he'd be a little more aggressive on offense looking for his shot but he's a willing passer to shooters so I can't really get too down on him for being unselfish. I'm not trying to use this to bash Stotts again but if Skal played with Whiteside like you suggested then Skal could be the guy screening for Dame leaving Whiteside to just stay around the basket where he is most effective. When Skal slips the pick and receives those passes around the free throw line he'd have either a straight path down the paint or Whiteside's man would have to help and he could lob or dump it to Whiteside for an easy dunk. If teams start to help off the wings in the corners then he can just kick it out to the shooters and our two biggest players would be in rebounding position on a 3 point shot. I know it's kind of crazy to trust Skal that much but I think he's ready for it and in about 20 games would be a monster.
By the way, this is what the Clippers often did with Griffin and Jordan. Put CJ in the Reddick role and Hood on the opposite side in the corner.
If i'm typing i can get it right. But talk-n-text will always print it as "Simmons". So i think apple is messing with you!
Maybe the solution would be to say Simon without the s then people would know you weren't typing it. I feel like reading Simon instead of Simmons is less confusing too, especially when we play the 76ers.
