Game 64 Dirkie Thread: Who Deserves to Win?

[mvossman]

He did play well. Finally looked like an NBA player. I called it before tip. Can’t keep Timmy down forever. He even passed the ball a few times. Really nice to see.

Kidd is finally playing Tim correctly. He has 4 players to fill roughly 70 minutes at the 1-3 with Luka getting ~38 and Kyrie ~36. That’s 17 mpg for Exum, Green, DJJ, Hardaway. 

Green is usually the one who plays more than 17 most nights but depending on what the team needs and/or who’s playing well you can give more or less to each.  

Tim Hardaway Jr in March
@ BOS 20 minutes
vs PHI 14 minutes
vs IND 13 minutes
vs MIA 20 minutes
@ DET 18 minutes

Exactly 17 mpg

I think there a little more minutes to go around. When PJ is not in the game and they are not going with two bigs, Luka or DJJ is playing the 4. 

I think Exum is like Maxi. You play him limited minutes in regular season and as much as you can in playoffs. 

I think Timmy will be useful offensive punch off the bench in playoffs if he is not overexposed (like what you are pointing out with his minutes). He has played well in the playoffs in the past which you can’t say about a lot of guys on this team
