Herb not playing the last 18 min is ridiculous.


Herb is one of those players that plays waaaay too hard...even at garbage time in a garbage game. Any decent Coach can see that... & doesn't want to use a player like that in this type game...especially with a game tomorrow. This game entered the "garbage stage" quite a while ago.

Then again...he might have been hurt or nicked up...

15 point game in the middle of the third is not garbage time

When on ball defense is your calling card, and it isn’t good on a particular night, and you are blowing WIDE open looks, you need to be on the bench. That’s on Willie. Sure would have been nice to see Zion/Trey/Hawk minutes instead.

I know Brandon fell like his best player on this team and he wants the offense flow thru him but I feel like it should flow thru Zion if we going to win a championship that’s just me

I didn’t see an injury but Herb only got 19 minutes and didn’t play poorly at all and was 2-2 from 3

So I would bet a lot of money something happened with him

Dyson Daniels was a plus 7 tonight. The problem was Naji and Jose playing 29 minutes- it’s hilarious how Griff is talking about young guys getting minutes while the game is going on and Hawkins is doing nothing. This is a strictly a Willie Green problem.

Also BI looked OFF tonight

I think the rest of the injuries on the injury report were just rest stuff, but BI definitely came down gimpy after the dunk attempt last game and has looked off since

I don’t know if we’re resting everyone tomorrow, but I would definitely rest him

Naji was terrible, too. Jose had 10 points on 7 shots.

Can’t play 4 on 5. That’s why Dyson won’t play in the playoffs.

Some times it is...some times...it isn't. If you think our overall effort, especially defensively, was solid...we'll just have to agree to disagree. This was a garbage game...and the players knew it...very early. The first thing that goes away at garbage time...is the defense...pretty much by both teams

Imagine if you were trying to decide whether or not to make major moves...start paying the penalty etc...& your two stars were BI and Zion. Can you really be a serious contender...with that Batman & Robin combo? I'm not sure the Pels have any idea...what to do with those 2...other than to just "sit tight" this year...and see how things develope.

No, I’m going to go ahead and say we will never win a championship with BI/Zion as the top duo

Not that we can’t be a playoff team and even make a run, but I think we have a better chance of winning a championship with Trey/Zion as a duo than BI/Zion

Which is why it’s maddening we aren’t getting Trey way more run to accelerate his development

I have never thought this team would win a championship. I’ve called out coaching decisions I’ve felt were poor, and I currently think we are a very good team. That’s different from thinking we will win a championship

We should have been able to make a decision on them 2 years ago but their injuries threw a wrench into that. Now we’re seeing them play together again for the 1st time in years and it still doesn’t work.

They aren’t going to trade one at the deadline but please for the love of god trade one in the offseason.


The thought of paying BI 50 million/year makes me gag.

I love BI, but if we are going to trade one of him or Zion?

With the way this roster is currently constructed?

It may not be a no brainer to the FO but it’s a no brainer to me
