    Spam is a complete phony. Our guys bail him out time to time but he is totally lost. I feel bad for TP. Isn't his fault Ham doesn't know how to use his roster. It is messing with his head.

    After Ham gets fired this summer, I would totally bring Prince back as a bench player.

    Agreed, too bad we have to wait till summer to ditch him. The problem, kind of, is we are good enough if focused to make another deep run. Then the front office might keep him thinking he had something to do with it, instead of being an anchor we were dragging.

    It's just crazy to me that even with Prince getting 38 minutes on the floor tonight, no AD and no Lebron, he still barely cracks double digit points with 11. That's just not enough production. I mean, we're stuck now since Vando is down. But man. This guy needed to go to the bench a long, long time ago.

    There will be complaints about his minutes but I thought he played a good game tonight and worked well for us off the bench.

    As bad as Prince on D, he's better than Rui and Dlo on these quick PG switches. His two bonehead TO's where he would have great looks was frustrating but the dude stepped up

    Aside from those couple TOs, he had a really good 4th. He and Austin scored 16 of our first 20 points that Q. Some big 3s and I thought the TP/AR trap was a nice wrinkle against Brunson.

    I am a little scared as to what Ham will do based off a performance like this.

    Prince played really well off the bench. That's what I've been anticipating and have no idea why it took so long for Ham to implement it. This should be the way going forward.

    Needs to continue to come off the bench, that’s literally been his role his entire career, and it’s been a solid career. I have very little against Prince, mostly just how Ham uses him.

    "Darwin" needs to evolve his coaching methods.

    Ham really wrecked it with Prince for no fault of his own, to the point that no one even wants to talk about him. But he had another nice game off the bench for us and still shooting well.

    Prince played well and literally helped keep us in the game in the first half

    Lol. Of course.

    I actually don't mind Prince though. He just needs to be used correctly. He is one of the few guys I don't feel like we have to worry about at least playing hard.

    Prince has settled in perfectly in the bench role and looks way more at ease. Rui needs to get himself integrated with the starters.

    I like him with the bench, seems to have more energy in that group too. But I do not trust Ham, Prince is his blindside.
