So we’re missing some opportunities to play playoff teams at full strength.

If KD is back for the playoffs we still are ok.

Well as long as Booker doesn't get hurt. I probably shouldn't have said that out loud.

This 3 game stretch is gonna be huge. Home against Sac, @ Golden State, Home against Milwaukee. We’re gonna need to DA to get more touches to take the load off Book.

Mike Brown postgame after their win against the Knicks. Called out Fox and Sabonis. Knicks had 23 offensive rebounds, took 17 more shots than the Kings and yet lost the game. Sac has the best offensive rating in the clutch by a wide margin. I’m expecting a barn burner. We need this game. Especially with a tough b2b

Credit where credit’s due. I slammed the Kings for hiring Mike Brown to be their head coach but dude has done a phenomenal job this year.

How about discussing which players are odd men out on the new Suns?

I see two: T.J. Warren and Landry Shamet. Warren's only great skill, scoring, simply is not needed much here. I think the Suns will cut him loose after this season, buying him out or trading him. I was always intrigued by Warren in his first Suns stiny, because they said his scoring style was retro. But I didn't understand that he plays no defense.

And Shamet: I suspect that he's been fine for a long time and everyone except me knows it (probably leading people to say "you think?"). He is probably being ignored because the team isn't interested in giving him court time. He always was overpaid.

Monty loves Shamet, so I think this conspiracy is complete fiction.

TJ is relegated to standing the corner for 3's now. Not exactly his game.

Shamet is exactly what is need for the rotation. Can play defense, dribble and shoot. and Monty likes him. I dont understand how buying him out is an option even for next season.

 

[Proximo]

No; and as a scorer off the bench, he now has competition in Terrence Ross, who probably plays some defense.

Ross is horrible defensively, and I think is really a streak shooter.

I for one am hoping TJ gets some of the Durant minutes

 

[Phrazbit]

Our offense is all about ball movement and TJ Warren does not seem aware that he is allowed to pass the ball upon receiving it.

And this is the issue i have with Monty at times, as he doesn't adjust the strategy for players.

Ross and Lee are the worse defenders on the team imo. They're the same person based on function and stats. Just Ross is taller and can be good for a highlight dunk.

 

[Mainstreet]

A Landry Shamet sighting. He is moving pretty good so maybe there is hope.

Monty says he will keep an open mind towards the bench players while seeking out the right rotation with Kevin Durant out.

I'm glad to hear this.

Landry Shamet will be re-evaluated in a week.

damn, good to see him shooting around tho

Landry Shamet will be re-evaluated in a week.

Can we swap their evaluations?

 

[clyde2tw]

I hope Monty can find way to use Warren more whose offensive skill is definitely the best among bench players. Ross is athletic enough to play good defense, but just has many bad habits particularly at switching. I believe with coaching instruction this can be improved soon.
