Right, because one game makes the whole season, you must be right. By that silly logic we bench og for the rest of the season.
what I am saying is defence is our staple and our best defensive lineup has Barnes and banton in it. Oh and yuta put whoever you want in after that I don’t care but I said it here first that’s our core going forward

Oof, rough game. Hated a lot of the rotation choices, but mostly they just looked out of sorts, never really looked like they were playing with energy or focus until Banton sparked them late.
Birch should be starting. Achiuwa's chaos is great off the bench, hurts the starters. GTJ should start, in that lineup he gets the ball less and is asked to create less, and can slot in as the worst defender in the lineup. Dragic... should play, I guess, but like 20 off the bench is as high as I'd be hoping for. Svi was handling the ball way too much, driving into nowhere most of the game.
OG and Fred having terrible games didn't help. Too much trying to create on their own (OG especially). Would love to see Barnes get a bigger role in the offence while Pascal is out, have him in the high/low post and run cutters, or more of that dribble handoff action that let him find Boucher on the cut late.
Banton looking like he needs minutes.

I guess we should waive him. This must mean he sucks, you know, having one bad game.
but you can feel free to flip pages of the Roster Reconstruction thread and a tonnage of trade suggestions on him

1. FVV was the biggest reason they lost that game. Someone tell him he's not Allen Iverson. The Raps need him to be a leader on the floor and not an iso scorer.
2. Barnes is probably the second best player on the team already(second behind Siakam).
3. Banton really is Shaun Livingston 2.0. Should be in the rotation.
4. Trent sucks.
5. Boucher got dumber in the offseason. Hard to do. Not a rotation player.
6. Mychaliuk. Not a rotation player.
7. I'd give OG a longer leash. He showed in the preseason that he can score. Don't get me wrong, i'm not sold on him as an option but whatever.
8. I'd like to see Flynn and Dekker get a chance to play.Last edited by The Great One; Wed Oct 20, 2021, 10:28 PM.Mamba Mentality
