I got no problem playin Bamba. But he's not the backup defensive savior tho... or relief for AD. Of course he would be committing fouls...that would be his primary role. He's 6 fouls for KAT (or Joker or KD, etc) and should be fighting for any rebounds that come his way. Which is exactly what Wenyan provides as well. And Wenyon has more minutes in a Lakers jersey...isnt coming off an injury and wasnt just traded here. Bamba didnt exactly earn that backup spot before he went down. Thats why Ham has Gabriel as the backup. Also we have our 4s like Vandy and Rui sharing coverage on Center duty so Gabriel got barely any burn. Who you taking out the game for Mo fukking Bamba breh? Bamba and Tristen are probably only gonna play if one of the aforementioned bigs go down or get into foul trouble. Thats the current reality.Dug their hole playing a lineup with Bron at center and zero shooters.
Called a stupid late timeout when the Lakers were up and Grizzlies were about to foul the best free throw shooter. That forced an inbound pass leading to a turnover when they could have just held the ball and gotten exactly what they wanted.
I'm sure there was more from hearing the reactions but I missed most of the game.
Mo Bamba is in his 5th year in the league, joined the team over two months ago, has been on the floor in 9 games. If you're not going to play him when the other team has an elite 7-footer and you have no backup center, when are you going to play him? So maybe he commits a couple fouls, so what? At least get him in there and see what he can do, if you want to win a title you could have Sabonis, Jokic, and Embiid in your future so you need this guy.
