markieff morris shot 2-39 last game. but smith only got 4 minutes. and to add on top of all that, most of his family members drove double digit hours to watch him play in utah.

shame on u chicken little, shame on you

It's a shame Brooks is fucking up the bench minutes ever since acquiring Jennings and Bogdanovic and getting back Mahinmi. Like, of all the people to cut out of the lineup, Smith was one of the last one's I'd pick. He probably won't get any playing time come postseason when the starters get more minutes.

brooks doesnt know wtf he's doing with the minute distributions. among all of the bench players, smith has been the most consistent player this season. but for some reason, brooks decides that it's smith's minutes that fluctuates randomly game by game. some games he'll get 20-30 minutes, other games he'll get 3-7 minutes lol. and this is irregardless of how morris is performing

and while we're on the topic, i've noticed brooks giving mahinmi more run during the fourth quarter over gortat. although mahinmi is better on the defensive end compared to gortat, the latter has better chemistry with wall for pick and roll situations. now since that offensive chemistry is absent, there's less pocket passes and lobs, and wall takes more jumpshots (farrrrr less efficient)

tldr: brooks is retarded


edit:

after looking at the stats for the various 5 man lineups, the lineup (small sample size of 28 minutes played) of beal, mahinmi, morris, porter, wall actually has the best results of +31.1 pts over opponents' points. so maybe brooks isnt that retarded lol

I thought the lineup of Wall, Beal, Porter, Oubre, Gortat was the best lineup

also Jennings is trash and id rather have Satoransky get his minutes or even trey burke. idk why he even gets so many minutes

sort by points.

onto another topic, how do u guys feel bout the upcoming max contract for porter?

overpaid.

I would not want to give Porter max. He goes cold or acts too passive for stretches, but he's fire when he's on. But I guess in these days of increasing caps, somebody is bound to give him the max.

/plus he's always getting dinged with little injuries, especially to his hips for whatever reason
