Does Ime see now that Kanter is a consistent contributor if given consistent minutes ?

But who's minutes do you want him to eat into when both Timelord and Horford are healthy?

Fact is, he needs to be ready when called upon and that is usually only going to be when TL and Al are out hurt or in deep foul trouble early. Other than that, he ain't playing.

Hauser seems more interested in “getting his” than playing winning basketball. Shooting with 17 seconds on the shot clock could have cost them the game. Not smart.

Just noticed that my profile upgraded from Josh Richardson to Al Horford thanks to the TPs received today. Much appreciated guys. Feels a lot better to be big Al than JR, even though he is playing just fine right now.

It's due to post numbers not TPs. Your 400th post got you to Al Horford.

I think he has a place in the rotation, because a lot of times we play with Al and TL together. He is a good scoring option in the low post to stop our droughts and he can get some boards too, keep plays alive on offense and ensure our stops on defense

Nick, don't take away their joy.

Did not know that. Thanks for the info. But the TPs are appreciated anyway..

So Q of the night, does DS still start after Jaylen and Timelord are back?

I'd say no, but it also doesn't matter whether he starts. However he is their #3 scorer and he should be on the court the last 4 minutes of games - which is more important than starting.  You probably sit Rob and play him with Horford at the 5.

In other words, an effective and useful rotation player if the coach would give him consistent minutes.

Above .500!
Playing good ball, defense strong and offense starting to click. Cutting back on the turnovers making a huge difference. Good to see more consistent focus and effort, keep it up boys!
TPs !!!!!!

Just noticed that Jabari was a dnp again despite the “blowout”. Is he in Ime’s doghouse? On the other hand he’s gotten the most minutes over all of the third stringers, so maybe this is about giving everyone a chance to play. TPs everyone!

I think Kanter has been getting his minutes.

And deservedly so.

Kanter also has a pretty darn good block so he can defend sometimes.  Enes is not the kind of guy that needs consistent minutes.  He comes in and does his thing on the boards and put-backs.  I really like him as the "emergency tall dude at the end of the bench"

Man, Kanter and Favors were both prospects on the Jazz not ten years ago.
