OP is a low IQ poster. Simmons starting?
Not even in the actual rotation besides spot minutes.
I like simmons a lot too.
Meh imho simmons can contribute more playing against the benches of other teams. But I wont mind if he gets more mins than danny if dg continues to suck

Start Paddy
People here have short fuses
Simmons is the real deal. Anderson ain't far behind. Boban at times is damn near impossible to stop. The future looks bright.
Are we enabling Danny to have poor games? I mean is there any hope he comes out of this back to his old ways? Pop played him with a shorter leash before this season and it worked fine right? I dunno I hope pop continues to shorten his leash. I don't think him losing his starting spot is by any means the solution but pulling him in favor of juice to get more minutes might be more appealing for pop. I mean he didn't really have this option for the first few months but now with juice continuing to be a net positive he can now shorten it without having to play manu more.
You have to go and ruin things with the voice of reason. So, you're saying losing six games isn't enough reason to mix up the starting lineup? We've already threatened our chances of best record in the NBA, EVAR!
How far must we fall before we just put the rookie in the starting lineup?
Must we lose a 7th game?!
Quality post lol ^
Both made HUGE shots. SimmGOD with a ferocious drive, butchered Kyrie's hands with the how-you're-suppose-to-foul looking for the block and Kyle's jumper over Kyrie was CLUTCH.
still lol
I agree with you on this.
Pop has done the right thing in being selective and putting them in matches where they could potentially help.
Both guys coming along and developing.
I was encouraged that KA was not his former passive/hesitant self.
These guys need at least a few minutes in games like this to get seasoning, get that nervousness out and improve.
You never know when we want to rest some guys and let these two carry a bit of a burden for a game. (Hopefully its rest, and we are not talking about any injuries to anyone here).
They may need to help at some point in some playoff game. Pop is known for subbing some guy at some point you don't expect to turn things around bc someone just left his game at home.
By the way I don't think Danny is benched for missing shots. He has to maintain a level of defense that is consistent though.
Plus we are 35-6. That's a ridiculous record only shrinked by Golden Showers.
Hypothetically you could give Danny Green a "rest game" and start Simmons, even though there's no way in Pop does that for a player in their first season. In that scenario, it would be Manu starting obviously. Even if that were the case, Manu's minutes would be limited, and Simmons would see the majority of the game.
??? Kyle started games last year.
It's actually Jonathon. Alternative spellings are very AA.
great thread b.Obviously now I feel a lot better than when I made the thread, but nonetheless the idea isn't as crazy as it was before. Danny is doing everything he can to lose his starter spot.... Just hoping this thread gets bumped days, weeks, months from now thanks to a backfire
Simmons is a good spark plug off the bench but you don't start him. He's a rookie who is inexperience plus you don't want to put pressure on him to produce. He's in a role right now in which he can grow and get better over time. There is no need to mess that up right now.
You're right, Pop has changed his philosophy a bit the last few seasons, but for the most part it seems he rewards players with longer tenure. Matt Bonner started a game this season I believe.
Kinda surprised it's not something like J'Awnathyn tbh.
Appreciate it fam, great threads are our repertoiregreat thread b.
Pop will not start Manu for Danny in a "rest game." The only real reason to give Danny a "rest game" would be for the purpose of seeing how Simmons did with the first unit.
Pop has done it just to snap guys out of slumps in the past. I don't see how it can possibly hurt. Danny's our starting two.`He's not a china doll who needs to have his confidence nursed along. He needs a kick in the pants. If he can't handle the same tough love that Tiago Splitter, Ian Mahinmi and Kyle Anderson have gotten, then he's not going to be much use in the playoffs.
