    Dunno if there's a lot they can do about it. It's not like it's the same guys in all of those units. You have to be willing to give up most of your lead if you put in guys for garbage time. That's why you wait until you have such a big advantage. They aren't supposed to hold serve. They're just supposed to hold the fort until time runs out. I think Pop decided he'd only pull the guys if there was a realistic chance NOP could catch up. Until the Pels made it a one-possession game, I can understand why Pop believed his team would figure it out and score a few times to keep it from getting that bad eventually.
    If a unit plays that badly together, even if it's only for 2-3 mins you need to change it up. No reason to go back to LMA/DeRozan/Gay, but he needs to reinsert White/Beli/Bertans in situations like tonight. , as soon as Metu chucked up that 15-foot hook shot with 15 seconds on the shot clock he would've been benched immediately in the past.

    He's not THAT bad. He's just at a d-league level and really shouldn't be getting pro minutes. His real problem is that he's a huge black hole, and when you combine that with his inadequate skill level, you get him cutting off possessions so he can miss or turn it over any time he touches the ball. Had Quincy been a legit PF, Metu would have been better served just staying in the d-league all this year without any hope of a call-up. But PATFO really seem to like him, so I hope the light comes on at some point.

    Like his moves work well against worse players, and he needs time to adjust to the NBA. He hasn't figured out what he can and can't do yet, and when he gets a few minutes after playing game after game in the d-league, he looks terrible. But when he gets longer NBA stints, he can string together some good possessions where he rotates well for a block or runs the floor for an easy basket. But that perimeter he tries to do needs work.

    The biggest issue with him right now, though, is that he's selfish, so instead of picking his spots and doing what he can do well against NBA athletes, he forces up shots he doesn't have the skill or IQ to make. It's like how Walker looked like a poor shooter in college because he kept jacking up bad shots, but he projected to be a good shooter at the NBA level because his mechanics are really good. Metu needs to become a better player to really translate, but if he just accepted that he's the fifth option on the floor at all times and played accordingly, he could still do some things at the NBA level right now.

    For a guy that talks so much about being over yourself, Pop sure likes to draw attention to himself doing "special" things.
    He's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" kinda guys

    Forbes sucks as a starter. When is that fact going to get through PATFO's thick heads?

    Quincy is so painful to watch.

    He is like a less athletic Carl Herrera, who knew it was possible.

    Wish Pop would just give that PT to anyone else, besides Dante. Anybody.

    Metu isn't ready but I like his potential. You can't blame that kind of collapse on any one guy though. That kind of suckage is a team effort.

    That sounds like Pop against the Suns, tbh.

    I thought Gasol looked bad, but Metu looked like a deer caught in headlights.

    It wasn't an actual question, tbh. It was a rethoric one. Rethoric questions work to try to make a point. Your point makes no sense. The coach of the team can be angry after wins but hardcore fans can't? That seems like a really stupid ing point which only functions as semen shielding and being a ing insufferable homer.

    Who the is Frank Jackson, and why does he have 25 points against us? God damn.

    Nobody named Frank should ever score 25 points in an NBA game, I'm sorry.

    This team is trash. DeDumbass is useless. Struggling against Pels? Losing at home to Clips? Gonna be a freefall once RRT starts. Hope I'm wrong.
