Just a 6 point dog? That’s as free as money gets.

Kidd should sit Luka and move the ball around similar to that short stretch last year.  Get THJ a bunch of those shots near the free throw line, let RB shoot his way out of the early season jitters, and get Green the ball as much as possible.

Dropping below 0.500 isn’t something I expected us to face this late in the season, guess that means it’s a must win game.

Love the sit Luka idea and let Green go on offense.  Hate the THJ idea.  Hate it.  Ill give RB a few shots though.  Short leash.

This is understandable and 3 of 21 is 3 of 21.  However, I see no other way out of this predicament.

At the expense of Josh Green developing?  Pass.

Rather Josh Green drive to the hole and make ugly layup attempts all game long than THJ ball hog and stunt Greens growth.  We know what THJ is already.

Firm Firm pass from me.

Bullock is out today for rest.   I wonder who starts in his place?  Possible we may just start 4.

I am not watching today.  Need a little break from the Mavs.  If they have a surprisingly good performance…even in loss.  I will watch later.  Although I am not expecting it.

DROP D FOR THE WIN!

Fair.  We know what Bertans is already, also.  One of the two has to play if for nothing else than financial reasons.  I'm guessing Bertans has some more right knee effusion days off, so THJ it is w/the hope he passes to Green (or anyone) a little more.  Until then, let him have his nonexistent heat checks at the free throw line.

We already know what will happen...THJ is getting 40 minutes tonight and 20+ shot attempts. Kidd probably met with THJ already and told him "We need you to be Kobe tonight!"

Take it back.

Hardaway has been so bad and he certainly has not earned the right for more minutes, but I do wonder if you give him a spot start to see how he responds.   On the other hand, three minutes into the game I may be thinking why in the world did I think that.   

Green has deserved more minutes with his play, but I think I am fine with him coming off the bench.  As long as his minutes are there.   My hope is when he gets a start he grabs a hold of that spot and doesn't give it up.   I am not sure he is quite there yet.   I mean he is not battling out the 92 Bulls for minutes, but I think he is in a good role where his game is being expanded.  That is the important part for me.

The problem with THJ is that apparently its impossible to reign him in.   I dont mind THJ playing...if he plays right.

He is defended on this board with excuses such as "Thats Tim",  "You cant reign him in", "If hes not shooting hes worthless"

Really...the guy is invincible?  He is not allowed to be reigned in?  Does that make sense to any of you?  And...an excuse of "thats just the way it is" seems to suggest that something else is going on and the whole thing is a lie.

As admiral of this year's Team Tank, I'm all for letting Tim jack up at least 20 shots a game. Wes Matthews nothing - post-injury THJ is the LGK of tank commanders.

Or just let Green tank you while hes working on his game.

Why do you insist on THJ?  

Is there something else going on here?

Too much risk of winning games with Green, since he's way the hell better than THJ.

Nah...that finish game needs lots of work.  Maybe he is on with mid-range and 3s....but thats not what I want him doing.  I want some of that...like 7 threes...but I want him driving and working on finishing.  Or driving and working on not fumbling the ball into a turnover.

All for letting Green loose but I don't know how a business with tight finances just parks 34 million on the bench.  If Cuban is fine with wasting those resources then I'm fine with it also.
