i apologize for the fact that this will just pit the pro's vs the anti's but WTF?! Just got back from the game and after seeing it flow back and forth, the way we use JV is insane. It seemed like almost every other play, the spurs would dump it into LMA in the post. On the rare time he wasn't deep enough, he would pass it out, get deeper and get it right back. Scored or was fouled on most of those play. Maybe he just doesn't have to screen as much as JV but most of the time, if JV got the ball, he would get it somewhere at the 3 point line after setting a screen. The few times he got in the post against LMA in the fourth, he scored or was fouled. The Spurs did it over and over. It's like the Raps didn't know they could. Frustrating as ^%#!

At this point, it's absolute insanity to expect him to get more touches/shots etc. This is a guard dominated team. A big's job in this team is to set screens, rebound the ball and play defense. That is it and that's what Jonas will ever do. To expect anything more at this point is insanity.OG is our king

I might be alone here, but I thought tonight was encouraging. JV's usage was over 20 (though partly because of some awkward passes forced in to him), and he looked solid enough defensively when he wasn't chained to Sully (hopefully Sully gets his legs soon, failing that Casey really has to start our starting PF). Lowry did his best to carry the load but he was tired and you could tell, plenty of boneheaded mistakes.
Even with that, if Carroll or Sully could hit a dang shot we'd have taken this one (admittedly against a depleted Spurs team, but I don't really care at this point). Good effort by Lowry, JV, CoJo, PP and Ross (even with a couple insanely boneheaded turnovers). BeBe was alright too (good effort defensively on Aldridge in spurts).
I'm guessing they don't just throw tomorrow's game in MEM. Lowry getting rest would be nice. But I figure they play for the win. Hopefully Pat gets the start. Sully can get his legs back with the bench, where he fits in the meantime.

Earlier in the year I noted that I would be OK with Sully starting if we got lots of JV+Pat anyway. Tonight we did not get nearly enough of that, and if the silly rotation choice of bringing in Pat and BeBe at roughly the same time is going to continue, that's bad, and they should just start Pat.
