I’m one of his biggest fans but he is playing too many mins at the moment.
Get him down to 25-28mpg is more what he should be getting
in saying that he is drawing defenders when out there and actually working harder than he has seasons before.
What other options do we have - I find it...
Abit excited with how Dame is playing but let’s be realistic - we have to make the finals before being a contender. We have to beat teams below us and around us. We have to win more than we lose.
Let’s take 1 thing at a time, get above the line with a gap, win more than we lose and then talk...
Everyone has their own way to deal with it.
Not playing would of been a bloody hard decision knowing Kobe would’ve wanted players to play, let alone at Staples, against the Lakers and with another good mate on the other team.
Being with his family right now is way more important than a game.
Our bench wouldn’t make it in most other top quality teams - we get slaughtered nearly everytime when they come on. CJ is struggling and regardless of injuries the bigger issue we have is depth to support how we need to use our rotation and get the best from Dame and CJ. Both have struggled alot...
If he is fit to play, you play him.
He will need mins in his legs and regardless of this season- he will be better for next season because of it.
re tanking- losing on purpose creates a huge mentality issue. Grinding through tough periods and coming out winning will make the team better.
He needs to find the balance.
He looks awesome on 1 or 2 plays a game then struggles.
He doesn’t have much support from his fellow rotational players however and is least of our problems.
