Had to play Timmy...DRob was breaking down and Timmy was the number 1 pick and looked like an all time great out the gate...
Had to play Tony...otherwise it was going to be Terry Porter...
Had to play Manu...Steve Smith was old...Devin Brown was erratic...and Stephen jackson couldn't play 48 minutes a game...bonus points for trying to neuter manu game...lucky for us manu had the balls to keep playing basketball the way pop didn't want him to...
Had to play Kawhi...Danny was the only other perimeter defender we had on the team...
Had to play Dejounte...Parker was at the end of his career AND suffered a devastating injury...
Had to play Derrick White last year...Dejounte got hurt and Derozan was new to the team...
Had to play Forbes last year...Dejounte, Derrick, and Lonnie got hurt...Forbes was all that was left...
Had to play Lonnie...oh wait he actually hasn't played Lonnie...because pop only ever plays young players when he doesn't have a choice...and he has the option of playing mills and marco in front of him...so that is what he is doing...
Pop's overrall body of work? No doubt an all time great...over the last 3 years? Been pretty severely outcoached by just about everybody...
Who do you think is the worst coach in the nba? Then ask yourself if that coach was up 10 would he put a lineup of 3 of his 4 worst defenders on the floor? Cause that is exactly what Pop did and that is exactly why this was a 2 point game instead of a blowout...
Beckywiththegoodplays can't grab the wheel soon enough...
