Starters don't have to close, how hard is that to comprehend.
Especially as a fan of the team with greatest 6th man ever.
Pop is even worse, we can't even stay at .500 with his constant horrible decisions. We'll have to wait until he decides to give up the reigns.

I'm not a fan of the guy, but it's not his fault. What is he supposed to do when the coach tells me to go in? Was he supposed to say, "I can't shoot, I'm going to stay on the bench.."
It's actually crazy that Vic is as good as he is despite being objectively soft tbh![]()
Castle seems to be losing confidence with limited minutes and he's trying to force drives to the basket with no open lanes.
The front office IS the coaching staff. All of that is popovich. There are no checks and balances in the organization. He basically runs it
4 game losing streak incoming. Tbh
If hes that much of a liabilty that he cant close a game,Then he shouldint be starting is my point.
Toooough stretch coming up tbh. I'm not sure they'll sniff .500 again this year.
Sochan wanted to make the pass but couldn't. Took him out of his form.
We only needed a 2 to tie it up. Sochan being in isn't the worst decision but they should have tried attacking the paint and if that got clogged then dish it out. Wemby should not have been in the deep parimeter with the ball in his hand. If sochan and wemby attacked the paint hard it would have forced defenders to collapse and dish out for a three.
He's our only actually good rebounder on wing positions and our only good defender with size.
He did great on Edwards.
I said it many times that I don't see him as a long-term starter without a jumpshot, he can be the glue guy.
But as of now while we have no rebounding or size, he's a starter.
Looked amazing in Philly and then Coach Fivehead decided to glue his ass to the bench anyways. Ugh 7:34 playing time tonight for the second most important player on this roster tonight.![]()
How is Sochan in and not maybe Champ in there to hit the 3? Dumb coaching.
To sum it up, front office has a decision to make.
If they actually want to compete, we need a backup big and another 6'8+ wing with a reliable shot.
If they're content with missing out, Castle's development has to be the priority.
Playing Tre and Keldon so much serves no purpose.
I would revisit the Paul, Wemby, Castle, Barnes, and Champanie lineup from earlier in the year. Sochan and Devin need to come off the bench to me. I like Jeremy, but if he is just gonna stand there and badly fumble a jumper at the end of games then he just can’t be out there. We are a player or two away. We need more shooting without compromising defense. Hard to come by tbh

Castle needs to be playing more than 8 minutes in a game. Even if he is sucking. I’d actually prefer him staring over Vassell. Him and CP3 cover a lot of each others weaknesses. Castle can’t quite run an half court offense but pushes the pace of the game. CP3 can’t push the pace of the game but runs the half court offense to a T. Castle (unlike Vassell) can actually guard people and Castle doesn’t need to shoot the ball 18 times a game to be considered useful. Castle just fits better as a starter.
Also Tre shouldn’t be playing at all. That’s just ridiculous. Idk who in the FO decides that Jones needs any playing time but whoever that is needs to be fired asap. He has no future on the team.
He couldn’t sell that fake because he has no shot. If that was Champ, either Devin or Champ would be taking an open, higher percentage shot.
Tre Jones has done nothing to earn the minutes he gets over Castle I agree.
Letting scrubs like Divencenzo beat you is ing pathetic.
Jones shouldn't be taking minutes away from Castle. Castle needs to be developed by getting playing time.
And I’m thinking their only offseason move is unloading Collins for picks.![]()
Can’t get rid of det culture, baby!
I want to say Tre Jones and Collins got minutes tonight cause they’re being showcased but I know that’s just the copium.
The only reason is IF they’re moving Tre and building his stocks. And CP3 would’ve agreed to stay another year.
Castle = underplayed
Mitch Johnson = fool's gold
Vassell = today's scapegoat, but in reality
KJ= the real source of the problem. Expecting so much playing time, for what? DV is NOT the problem.
