Roy wants to start Game 6

[KingSpeed]

MM- you're being an assclown. There is no way we win Game 4 without Roy. He gave the team a big emotional lift and he hit the two clutch shots in the 4th quarter. Without those two shots, we lose. Rudy wasn't going to take or make those shots. Even if Roy were to have a mediocre game 6, that is wayyyy better than Rudy being out there.

Start him give all of Rudy's minutes to Bayless and if we cant rebound again for gods sakes put in Pendagraph.

Give Brandon (-19 for the series) ALL of Jerryd's minutes (-43 for the series), and play Rudy (-30 for the series) his normal role.

Our team consistently sucks when Jerryd plays and it's amazing how nobody seems to notice how badly we get outscored with him out there. For all his energy and going 1-on-3 (getting no call) all the time, he's too short to guard anyone and he's never found a pick he can get past. He's never stopped anybody.

But seriously, Nate's making the same mistake as last year. He needs to play everybody, and sub often, then we have the energy to run with these guys and defend them. When he tightens the rotation, he makes us weaker.

MARIS- someone has to score points and Bayless is giving us 14 a game to go with 3 assists and he is shooting 42% from the three point line. I have no idea why you would want that guy off the floor. Rudy is shooting horribly, playing defense horribly. How does it help us to replace one of our top three scorers with a guy who could care less about scoring? Your +/- stat does not mean that Rudy is a better defender. Rudy doesn't try and leaves his man to get wide open layups under the basket.

Honestly, if you were the coach, and your livelihood were on the line, would you play Rudy ahead of Bayless (one of only three guys who can put the ball in the basket consistently) in Game 6?

Oh, now this is classic bullshit from Maris. Do you seriously watch the same game we do?

Well this is why he is not a coach, instead of getting blown out by 20 with very little Rudy, it would have been by at least 60 with Rudy playing more minutes. He has no concept of the game of basketball.

While you're misuing stats why don't you go ahead and adjust those to a per minute average. Rudy has quite possibly been the least effective rotation player I've seen in the playoffs in ten years ... a shooter who doesn't shoot, and a guy who plays zero defense. Jerryd has his flaws, but at least he's giving effort and is producing something on offense.
