I get the dislike, but it was against the teams they should've beat that they sucked in last year. But this is an east team we are talking about, a division rival. It was a mentally weak team, by your example, this team is anything but mentally weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Can't wait to see what we look like with (hopefully improved) Rui back! Also interesting to see how average Young is without getting to the FT line 20 times a game... Edited October 29, 2021 by CRobi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Man, I was one Beal 3 away from hitting a +1105 parlay. I liked the rotation tonight accommodating the absence of Gafford and Dinwiddie. Hell of a game by KCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many stars are mad about it, but it’s much better basketball to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minutes are going to be a problem on this team. It could actually cause problems. Edited October 29, 2021 by Hersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these guys seem comfortable in their role in a way that the Celtics never were under Brad Stevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do TB's minutes come from even if it's 10-15 to start? Trez is an UFA. KCP has a team option. TB is a UFA. All those guys will want minutes to show what they are worth for contracts. Which I completely understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Its a long season. There will be injuries, guys will have cold/hot streaks, there will be certain matchups that favor certain players over others, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I completely understand. depends on how good Rui is this year, i’m still unclear as to what happened and how it’s affected his game. If he’s good, I think you’ll see Kuzma get more time at 3, which he prefers. KCP can play SG. So you’ll see minutes stolen from depth players that aren’t as good like Holiday, Deni, and Kispert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like the bench is deep enough that the only guy we just can't lose is Beal. We almost never have hot starts like this, but when we did, we hit a wall in the middle of winter. Hopefully we now have a deep enough rotation to fight through the doldrums of the season and avoid losing streaks. There won't be minutes for everyone if we make the playoffs and have a healthy roster, but by that point we should have a core rotation figured out.

CRobi21 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Gotta say, the depth we got from the Westbrook trade has greatly improved this team. But Scott Brooks damn sure isn't getting these results WUJ has gotten from these guy through 5 games. Small sample size, but really like the way Unseld manages games so far. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very strange situation. No updates, he’s not on the bench at home games, and he’s rarely even mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I believe the minutes will work themselves out. When everyone is back, I think Deni, Kispert, and Bertans minutes will suffer. Which is okay. I think Holliday and Neto are redundant when you can play KCP and Beal in the backcourt together or facilitate with Deni. But we aren’t close to having a full squad yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last update I can remember said he's "getting back into game shape, which might take until December." Doesn't seem normal to me. That combined with him not attending games gives me big concerns. Have there been any reports or pictures of him practicing with the rest of the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they start crying about it like Boston did, im not buying it, and we shouldn't expect that to happen. They can pull this off without being dicks to each other, in Wes I trust.

Don't expect to see him for a while. As far as the first 4 games. I am shocked. I really thought they would be a 1 or None win team still. New coach, a roster that looks kind of slapped together. Figured Beal would have landed on the COVID out list already. Good for Wes Jr and Sheppard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally, I'm not holding my breath on Rui returning. He definitely shows flashes, but he's so inconsistent and has the tendency to play soft and timid.... Wake me when my man Thomas Bryant returns. When Bryant & Harrell get on the floor together, the energy is going to be crazy......
