i've said it before and i'll say it again
one of lowry/leonard n ibaka/siakam should always be on the floor no matter what

im sick of seeing like

jonas/anunoby/wright/vanvleet / richardson or miles or powell that ish isn't working
This is the biggest issue with Nurse’s coaching. Too many bench players on the court at the same time.

wouldn't you rather a nick young, melo , shabazz muhammad over a malachi?
a ty lawson ovr a lorenzo


No excuses we were up 19 in the 3rd quarter....He had the starters out too long in the 4th and he admitted they took there foot off the gas cuz they thought it was over....IM sick of seeing that shyt from this team....

We ran ZERO plays in the first half of the 4th quarter...I have a list of Nick Nurse pet peeves thats already in double digits.

Nick Nurse does a lot of great things as a coach but allowing this team to not play with intensity for 48 minutes and playing too many bench guys at a time are gonna kill us eventually.

Yeah, I don't think FVV works without Pascal either. He has nobody to play off of in the 2nd unit right now. Last year, he got to play off Pascal and Kyle a lot and this year, he hasn't really played alongside them that much. I also noticed that compared to last year, he hasn't really been catching and shooting all that much. It's like @FireDwaneCasey said, he's really just creating for himself and he hasn't done well doing so. JV just slows down that bench unit too. Last year, it felt like the bench ran a lot and this year, they're struggling because they're so much slower now.

That last play wasnt JVs fault. This was a team loss caused by bad execution from different players. Lowry was bad again, whenever he cant shoot the ball he gets nightmares and it gets to his head. You need more than 14 pts from your 2nd best player. FVV is selfish and holds the ball too long. Delon, OG were non factors with their terrible shooting. JV was too slow out there and got torched on the PnR. Missed ibaka, green and heck even CJ out there. Nurse trusted the bench for too long out there. No plays were drawn down the stretch, kawhi and lowry just going iso. Guys not communicating and knowing what to do on defense.

At the top.
Need to sustain a solid effort throughout 48 minutes. You can actually see when the entire team literally started chillin' thinking Detroit couldn't come back.
FVV needs to get back to how he played last season - his minutes doesn't seem to be in jeopardy so he seems very slack out there.
Kawhi with the turnover and missed FT near the end there really sealed the deal.

Their defense is just awful. Nobody can't guard anybody on perimeter. So much double teaming for no reason
