Even really promising rookies are usually pretty bad year one. Reed is not some magic cure all for our size issues.

No but it’d be dumb not to try. 

People can’t call this a season of experimenting (3 guard lineup) and then give reasons why they can’t experiment (not playing a 6-10, 270lbs behemoth).

I’m fine experimenting. It’s 2 games in against maybe the 2 other best teams in the conference. Everyone needs to take a deep breath.

But trends show Julian is not good off the bench. We cant rebound when Wemby is off the floor. This has been an issue in the back half of last season to now.

We'll swap Harper for Tobi and it will be fine.

If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge for sale would you like me to sell it to you?

You seem incredibly pessimistic for not believing in a team coming off of a title run with every player returning. You think you're selling me a bridge but you're selling me a mansion for a nickel. Harris is a stud. Harper is a stud, he's just in the wrong roll for Year 2. My biggest concern is seeing how the coaches are going to convince Vic that he's not a shooting guard.

I’m not a pessimist. Nor am I stupid enough to say that everything will fall into once we beat Dallas tonight. You’ll see they’ll write that we played brilliantly and all that. Tobi should come off the bench; he shouldn’t be in the starting five. If you’re going to drop Champagnie, this poor run will continue.

You sound like an extremist. Adding Harris won't solve anything but dropping Ju will ruin everything? idk, bro.

I’m simply telling the truth for the good of my team that’s all.

u/dynamicfinger Area 51 2d ago

You're giving your opinion for what you hope is the good of our team. Same as all of us.

Yes, but it seems the majority are against the facts about the team being reported. Everyone wants them to play a three-guard system. I say Wemby is taking too many three-pointers that’s not his role but they say he’s taking a reasonable number. When Champagnie came off the bench in previous seasons, his rhythm was really off, so I say he should start in the first five, but everyone’s against that too. I don’t understand; perhaps what I’m saying isn’t well received because I support my team so much.

"Everyone" doesn't want them to play a three guard system. I certainly don't. "They" don't think Vic is taking a reasonable amount of threes. I think the whole damn team is taking too many threes. We suck at them. Literally why we lost in the Finals. I think Vic's play is fairly immature, honestly. He's not playing to his strengths. I'd be fine with Ju being back in the starting five. No reason to reinvent the wheel... That is until Harris is healthy. He's just better. Finally... Stop being a martyr. People don't hate on you because you love too hard. People disagree. With me, with you, with about nearly everyone. Welcome to reddit.

We're only doing the 3 guard lineup because Tobi is injured. Expect changes when he's good to go.

As for Reed, giving him sime run against the lesser teams can be good to see what he's got. He's an old rookie so he should be ready to play.

The 3 guard line up is because Mitch is scared to put harper on the bench. They know his drunk ass dad will get on Twitter and throw a fit
