Should Cole start the next game instead of Reke?

Yay or nay for one/2 games?

This is becoming a problem,Tyreke needs to get his shite together.

Yes.

I remember towards the beginning of the season, Reke was struggling and Monty cut his time down to teach him a lesson. He came back on a tear. Need to teach him another lesson.

No, Cole was just as terrible and has been terrible throughout. Reke is only terrible at the end. Now I think Cole should play the last 2 minutes of close games. Or at least let Gordon play PG.

Tyreke had like a +10 and Cole like a -10. Tyreke was on of if not the primary players responsible for the 15-0 start. Cole was one of the primary culprits for the 10 point second quarter.

Rest of the bench was awful tonight. Norris wasn't great but he wasn't the only problem.

That's what weighing down that +/-

Monty also can't call a timeout which was another reason for those runs.

Maybe Tyreke was +10 because he played with better players than Cole. Both were bad tonight, but Cole wasn't making horrendous mistakes.

i like Reke in at the end of the game with EG playing the point. Gordon KNOWS to pass.

If Monty sees that Reke is having an off night, Cole should get more minutes.

I know you guys are smarter than this and its just the build up from the emotions of the game

You guys know that Reke while he has his shortcomings is a very crucial part of this team at least while Jrue cannot stay on the floor. Dude recovers from injury like no one we've seen and he is a utility player. Can fill in at the 1, 2, or 3.

I'm just saying for like one game to get tyreke's mind right.

Clearly somethings off lately as he really wasn't doing shite like this for a little while.

Tyreke sucked dick tonight no doubt. So did a lot of guys.

Tyreke 5/18
AD 6/18
Bench -800 points

Thank The Lord Asik and Qpon played two of their best games.

Jesus man it was one game.. players will have bad games every once in a while.. Hell AD had 43/10/6 vs the Bucks on the 9th and then the next night shot 5 for 16 vs the nets

I know that but he did this against denver too.

I at least hope AD or maybe cole/QPon have a talk with him. He's trying to do way too much.

Reke needs a timeout, his bullshite seriously could have cost us the win tonight

I understand its not an end all be all. But both players played pretty terribly individual and with one the offense looked really good while he was in while the other led the offense to an inexplicable 10 point quarter.

Not proof that Tyreke played better but this certainly isn't the evidence needed to justify turning the keys over to Cole, a player who was horrible all season as a starter with Miami.

Who cares? You don't get points deducted for mistakes. He led an offense that scored 10 points in the second quarter. You can make a whole lot of mistakes and still not approach that bad. I'd rather a quarterback that throws for 300 yards and 2 interceptions than 15 yards and none.

Cole is better than Tyreke. Both are a minus offensively but Cole is lower usage. Cole is a plus defensively and Tyreke is one of the worst defenders in the league. Cole also makes 3-4 times less than Tyreke. This shouldn't even be a conversation.
