No, I've never watched a game or seen basketball reference, or the internet... I don't know what to tell you, it's just my opinion. I don't think Skal "right now" is that much of an improvement from Tolliver. It's nothing against Skal I like him! To me, if you're playing him it's in the hopes that with enough real court time and minutes he'll quickly shape into form because he's definitely got more potential then Tolliver. Personally I'd rather Mario got those minutes or they just embraced small ball and ran a lot, with Baze / Hood as the forwards.
He should be vocal with the bench mob...he's been here longer than the new guys and is more of a vet with the bench...he's not telling the starters where to be, that's for sure. Dame said today that Anthony fits with the starting unit because he knows where to be and has more knowledge of the players in the NBA than many of the younger guys..BBIQ.. ..makes total sense until we get Pau or Zach into the rotation again
I don't think he'll be back very soon...haven't heard about the MRI...if it's just dislocated and popped back in it's easier but if anything is torn...could be a long rehab.
I understand the logic behind Tolliver starting, even if I don't agree with it. But that minute differential is ridiculous, and there's no reason Tolliver should be getting minutes at Center over Labissiere, especially matching up against a guy like Aldridge (which happened last game).
so then it's strictly a judgement or an opinion on your part. What if someone has a different opinion? Who is right?
It's subjective. Not everything is about who's right or wrong. People can disagree, which is great, because it can lead to a good basketball discussion where both parties talk about what they see differently and it can potentially help each party notice something they didn't before, and can add additional perspective for each. Or they don't see what the other ones seeing and they agree to disagree. Disagreements are never an issue, only how they're handled. Some people make them into something else all because of a personal vendetta or they don't like the other person's opinion. Maybe they don't like how much the other person is posting that opinion (which is understandable). Either way, it doesn't need to be about who's "right or wrong" and doesn't need to be made into some personal bullshit.
So you are making this personal? Cause I certainly didn't. Otherwise that comment had no purpose other than to try and instigate something.
That's what you got from this? I wasn't implying you or anyone specific was making things personal. I just often see disagreements turn into something else because of stuff like this. I don't know why you'd think this was aimed towards you.
Worked in the 4th. Tolliver's gravity off the ball opened the floor for Dame and also forced Aldridge to switch in pick and pops. Skal can shoot as well, but defenses don't treat him the same.
Then we'd get open 3s by a solid shooter. Don't see how that's a bad thing. With the way Tolliver's shooting, I don't think Skal is a worse shooter. He shot over 37% his rookie season. Just needs confidence.
I was merely looking for clarification thus the question. Our history would indicate that it isn't an unreasonable conclusion either. You clarified and that's all I was asking.
I think if I have to watch Tolliver play center for much longer I’m going to lose my mind. Tolliver was the only starter with a negative plus minus last night and still played more minutes than Skal. Skal ain’t no center either but he’s a lot closer than Tolliver. He should be starting until the other bigs get healthy.
He should be given his chance right now. I wanted him to play more last year but Terry sat him too much.
