I don’t understand what Grimes does at practice that Tibs doesn’t feel like he’s good enough. Wasn’t he drafted one pick higher than Quickley was last year? Quickley immediately paid dividends so I don’t understand this.

I think it's Ego at this point we've seen Grimes perform well in an actual 4th q game.

LolHe's awful he doesn't roll he sets half assed picks then waits to get the ball backObi does it properly and gets rewarded by being removed from the game
That's why I hope this sees this and starts getting on Randle more

The times Grimes has been out there he's contributed & it just wasn't garbage time. If Fournier doesn't turn it around, Thibs needs to be under the hot seat for not making any changes

The conflict of interest portion comes in as Don Rose is his boy
And truth be told if Rose didn’t mess up his ankle Kemba would have missed 6 straight 4Q as well. Here’s your 100 million dollar backcourt

Randle was always ass to me.
Quickley spazzed out in the preseason last year, that’s why he got so much attention. Thibs saw that and was like I gotta give this kid some minutes.
With that said I don’t think they’ll be any tinkering of lineups due to politics and egos. Injecting some energy into that starting lineup would do wonders . This week we should’ve taken advantage and beat the teams that were weaker because the schedule gets difficult after Houston.

I'm starting to get on board with IQ taking for Ev in the lineup. I'd also have, Kemba sit 2 min earlier like around 7 min then let Rose finish the quarter. With Rose I'm bringing Burkin bag, Obi and Taj. I'd let RJ and IQ finish together. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I'd try a first quarter
@storyteller what you think?
We play on Saturday and Sunday so hopefully kemba gets a day of rest and they give duece significant minutes for Houston.I'm starting to get on board with IQ taking for Ev in the lineup.

Fournier just needs to get his head out his ass. If dude played like he usually does we’d put away teams sooner. Dude does the same move of pump faking at the 3pt line driving it And missing the floater. Let that shyt fly!

Ev definitely in his own head though and unfortunately besides Mitch the rest of the unit is too

I tried to warn you about Fournier and especially Kemba
Oh let it go already. Your team is still sub 500
