Teague and Bazemore out vs Nyets

[Guest]

So.....QUESTION:

1. Who starts for Baze

2. Does  THJr  finally get to play tomorrow?

[Guest]

It's TH Jr and Dennis time ... it's TH Jr and Dennis time .. it's TH Jr and Dennis time.. it's TH Jr and Dennis time 

Where he at, where he at, where he at, where he at ... there he go, there he go, there he go ....

I doubt it. I think thabo will start and we will see alot of 2 PG line ups with Korver at SF. Bud has zero trust in THJ right now. He cant even get garbage time mins. Im surprised he hasnt been assigned to the D-League yet.

Bud will dress both and leave Edy and Timothy Jr. inactive, start J. Holiday, and leave Sef and Shelvin to come off the bench.  L. Pat is his wildcard.

At first I thought this thread was from @kg01 because of the title. Sorry @JayBirdHawk I didn't mean to offend you.

Oh please.  I'd have never misspelled Neds.

It's probably time for Thabo to move into the starting lineup for good.   He's been our most consistent player this year.   I really like Baze but there isn't anything he does a lot better than Thabo other than quickness to the hoop which would be good off the bench anyway.

I'm hoping we see Jr.

I wonder if Thabo can play starter's minutes.  Or maybe whether or not they're holding him back to avoid fatiguing him.

Agreed.  I've no doubt we are trying to limit his minutes to avoid fatigue and injury.

I doubt THJ gets burn .,.. Patterson / Holiday will probably get the extra minutes

He should get some minutes.  That is a lot of extra time and we need to keep Sef's minutes in check.  I guess we'll see.

[macdaddy]

I'd still like to see Thabo start even if his minutes are still low.    We need someone to set the tone defensively.

As long as we don't over tax Thabo, I'm fine irrespective of his starting status.  He is our only good defender against SFs.

We really need this win tonight since we have a tough matchup with Sacramento tomorrow.  Cousins may drop 40 on Al and Splitter.

I'm still not too worried, but dropping a game to the Celtics on the road, then having a day off, coming home and dropping another to Utah isn't great. Let's get THJ some burn.

Let's not forget giving up 72 1st half points to Minny and 56 to a Davis-less Pelicans squad in the two games before those.  This team has looked straight bad and even disinterested over the past 4 games.

Heard Nique interviewed and ask about THjr and he declined to speculate about limited pt

I'd love to hear a real reason.  I actually expected him to play with Bazemore out.
