    Do we really need to play small with Rui at C with both Wood and Hayes available?

    Frustrating I don't really see the need for Rui on Sabonis

    One thing is for sure...

    Darvin will find a way to play 3 guards (DLO Vincent Reaves) even with all the size we have...

    And I"m going to hate it

    I feel he’ll put us behind the 8 ball again this year with questionable line ups.

    Coach, keep your eye on Colin. He can help us this season with rebounds, screens, protecting the rim to some degree, and hit the open looks. Take some pressure off AD having to do so much. Develop Colin and preserve AD. Win/win.

    Also... Pimple Moron won't ever get that, but... Wood should only play with D-oriented lineups and be the scorer, with others covering for his dumass defensive fundamentals. He is a C that doesn't know how to track dribble penetration. He jumps and reaches instead of sliding along, for example.

    Hayes sould be the in with our offensive players. AR + DLO + Hayes. NEVER f***ing AR + DLO + Rui + Wood or some stupid variation of that.

    And don't get me started on Wood + Hayes.

    Goddamn...

    I hope THAT lineup was a result of sitting the main guys (and our other pgs were out) because that was an AWFUL lineup.

    That lineup was atrocious. He should have at least played Hodge out there to give the team a chance with some ball handling. The B squad with Hayes and Wood and then Reddish at point guard almost made me stop watching. So ugly. Ham admitted it was a terrible lineup and did it because Vincent and JHS were out. But honestly he should have just used the c squad as they played fairly even with the Suns scrubs. They weren’t the ones who went down by 20.

    I think he was also further checking out to see if Christie had improved his ball handling and emergency PG skills. Rough at first of course still but seemed to get quicker and better at getting into the key to dish it out as his time went on. In addition to him knocking some more shots down.

    If he had any balls and/or brain cells, he'd play CC 20 minutes every game. But this is a "coach" that played PatBev over Reaves until the GM forced his hand.

    I think we definitely have a minor problem in that PG position. JHS gotta speed up his development every time Gabe, Dlo or Reaves are out. We are really thin at the guard position if we have injuries
