Bogi is playing hurt. I am fine with him because at least he's out there

Its really simple if you watch the start of every game. Bogi comes off the bench behind the starters. How can he be the 4th option when he is on the bench to start the games? The attempts clearly show that him and Huerter are the go to guys off the bench, The stats clearly show Cam is the 4th option among all starters.

You understand this basic principle about being a starter and getting the 4th most touches among the starters? Simple stuff right.

Cam barely get touches. Part of the reason I am starting to rather see him come off the bench with Rondo. Where he can get a lot of touches. Right now, he is basically the defensive specialist who is suppose to score when called upon but he's not a professional scorer or shooter yet. He's still raw in a number of ways offensively. 

Honestly, Bogi was expected to be starting but he was struggling with less touches and his defense is bad especially with Trae. I just can't wait till Rondo and Snell is back.

Bogi is a huge disappointment to this point. You can acknowledge that right? I don’t think he’s at all the reason why we’re losing but he’s certainly hasn’t helped except the second game vs Brooklyn.

He could be on the injury list instead. Honestly, he's playing through his injuries, unlike the others

I rather be mad at Trae, Cam, and for tonight only, De'Andre. Those three are at least healthy.

It looked like it tonight. Like LP and Trae back at it 

[aali34]

I like LP but the product on the court leaves a lot to be desired. I'm rooting for him to succeed, but if the team moves on it is what it is.

HOWEVER, I will be pissed if he's let go because he's tough on Trae. Guy's like Embiid and Giannis fight for thier coaches. I feel like JC is cut from that cloth and I'd hope Trae is too. 

I wish I could I say this is just one game, but it's the third loss in a row.

If you are going to start the hot hand over the 19 million dollar Bogi, that is Huerter right now. Not Cam. LP is killing me starting Reddish over both Bogdan and Huerter,

The worse part of this is after one more game against Charlotte, they have the 76ers, Suns, Jazz, and Trailblazers. They may be setting around a 12th seed in short fashion.

Things are bad right now, but I'm going to wait to see how they respond on Saturday before I waste energy criticizing.

I am not complaining about Bogi getting his shots. My complaint tonight was him only getting 18 minutes. I stand by a basic premise that your 2nd, 3rd, 4th options are your starters. Your 6th and 7th men are your bench players. I don't understand how that is so confusing. Its BB 101 since junior high.

I will criticize Rayford, though. I can't stand these NBA stage dads living vicariously through their infinitely more talented children. He might be worse than Tito.

Rayford dropped 41 on Kansas. He was a pretty good college guard back in the day.

I like LP too but it's clear, he don't know how to put the guys in the best position to win games. It's easy when we are making a lot of shots and it's easy but when it's hard and teams are scheming, LP can look rough. 

LP might not make it to February. Nate just knows how to coach and get the most out of guys.

Ultimately, Cam and Hunter is critical for us winning games. We need two way studs around Trae to win games. Hunter had a bad game but Cam has had four straight bad games. He might not be ready for this role as a starting SG yet. He has to showcase some level of consistency. 

We can't win with Trae otherwise. He's just too bad on defense. 

Schlenk had to know this when he drafted him.....Did he actually expect to find 2 stud 2 way wings?  That shit aint easy..Or was Trae just a ticket sale selection? Not gonna sell many tickets if you cant win..

Signing Bogi basically meant you definitely couldn’t sign both Huerter and Trea and Collins when the time came. And we wanted to be aggressive. Good job ownership on being aggressive but Collins is not a max player, Huerter is better than Bogi and you have to super max Trea? We need a new head coach quick to figure this out. And I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Cool. How many points did he score in the NBA?
