Dean the Dream Wade

[Douglar]

Dean Wade's shot selection is pretty much the same as Okoro's, except Dean makes a lot more of his shots his shots.

Wade should probably be starting. He just makes fewer mistakes than Levert. Levert off the bench makes so much sense and gives the 2 guards more rest.

I am starting to agree with this

Probably have to have more hard lessons before this happens

Starting Wade balances out the rotation, keeps Okoro glued to the bench, gives us 2 ball handlers at all moments. Just makes sense

JBB going full Joe Woods treating the first quarter of the season as extended preseason and losing unnecessary games in the process.

Thats not a fair statement, basketball and football are completely different.

Pop is known for working out things during the season and setting up for a playoff run. Rotations, starters, ect...all things a good coach is supposed to work on at this point in the NBA season.

Playing Garland with Mitchell was always going to take adjustment. Playing Garland down the stretch to teach him how to finish games was always going to be an adjustment. I just hope he figures that starting Wade isnt demoting LeVert, its promoting he to align his time where he can do things he does best to help the team more, and Wade is 100% a true 3 and D guy which is perfect for our starting SF.

That's fair, but let me point out that JBB hasn't once trotted out a lineup that has Garland, Mitchell, and Wade in it. It would be nice if he started experimenting with that lineup.

We will see how the team comes out vs. Golden State. If they do the same and lose, he will probably make a change.

Deano……infected bursa sac in his knee. Woke up with a swollen knee. No injury…. but plenty of swelling.

We need him back quickly and JBB to give him more consistent minutes.

Won't likely happen. JB is totally clueless on rotations and why some things work and others don't. Doubt he even realizes that the losing streak started with mindlessly changing Dean's minutes. Win 8 in a row while Dean is averaging over 30 minutes per game. Then all of a sudden he plays 15,14, and 0 due to the bursa infection which of course isn't JB's fault...until he replaces those minutes with Okoro. Why would you mess with rotations that are going great?? He can't read + - stats for group rotations and its been that way for 2 years. It's not going to change under JB. He's a nice guy but clueless as to what makes things tick and what doesn't.

Because JBB was most likely responsible or at least partially responsible for drafting Okoro, a defensive “dawg”. He’s stubborn and admitting Okoro sucks would be admiring he fucked up that’s draft pick, and JBB doesn’t strike me a a a guy who owns up to mistakes. He also doesn’t seem to pay attention to analytics or even the boxscore after games because he’s still giving meaningful minutes to a guard that hasn’t hit a 3 pointer 13 games into the season. He’s going to continue to beat that dead horse until he’s fired or okoros traded

Those can take weeks to go away and can linger on and off.

'Knee'ds to come back and start. I've seen enough suck from the SF position as of late. Deaner not only plays D, he spaces the floor and can hit the 3. We're really, really missing those things in the recent games.
