@KnickstapeCity is definitely my dude, but he's losing that battle for 3 reasons:

1.) He refers to women as female dogs. I'm not one of those women who likes to be called a dog.
2.) He has a girl.
3.) I'm talking to someone.

1) I have nothing about that first thing. :manny:
2) She isn't wifey though... But you know what they say right? The more the merrier. :shaq:
3) He doesn't have to know. (This is strictly between me and you bay-bay) *Ja Rule voice* :sas2:

Fisher need to stop fukking around and tell Calderon he have to come off the bench. I don't care about him being a nice guy and he's a veteran. Grant or Galloway could easily do more with his minutes.

I agree although what you're essentially saying is we have to give Grant 30+ minutes....which will probably push him to that rookie wall very early. We probably should look for a guard or bring back Trice if he;s still available.

I get that he's a rook. Doesn't mean don't admit he's playing like it. What I don't get is why he can be a rook, but Jose and Sasha can't be old and 'Melo can't be hurt. Y'all claim to be so unbiased but the players you love are teflon (Kris, Rolo, and O'Quinn who gave up layup after layup, Gallow and Grant, who got eaten by Shroder). I cannot stand Lance and I want him kicked off the team pronto (get it done, Phil), but that doesn't make it all his fault. They all deserve blame and I'm sorry to break it to you, but that includes your beloved Kris. That said, I do believe his perfect jumper will make him a superstar one day.

You have to realize the connotations that go behind each and every one of those statements. Porzingis is a rook....he has a potential to get better or worse....but from what we've seen he most likely will get better. Melo is hurt/recovering/tired....we KNOW what he can do if he recovers. These are acceptable things. We just have to be patient and hope for the best. What is there to hope for behind Jose and Sasha? You can't wait for them to get younger, and unfortunately there's no real evidence that Jose will ever get back to playing well enough offensively. So yeah, when we're dropping these criticisms, there's a skew more for players that we can expect to get better than for those to get worse. And there's nothing wrong with that.

In conclusion, yes everyone played poorly...this discussion is about who we can expect to improve on their own with time, and who we shouldn't expect to. I don't expect Calderon nor Sasha to improve. At least with Sasha, he has an energy that will allow him to get minutes. Calderon was brought here for two reasons and he's not doing either one of those things...It's getting very difficult to explain him PLAYING let alone starting. As far as Porzingis, it HAS to just be wait and see. And I'm not for chopping his minutes nor bringing him off the bench (unless Calderon is glued to the starting role all season) when historically, Euro players who get consistent minutes their rookie season are more likely to have good seasons. While all intuition points to the contrary, we HAVE to throw him to the wolves to see what we have.
