I agree that their approach to rest players against "lesser" opponents has largely backfired. One might even argue it would be better to "throw" games against the top teams and focus on beating the weak. I think our record could be sustantially better with this approach but hindsight is 20/20. However, this has been obvious for a couple of weeks now and I expected the organization to realize this and stop.
What I liked is that they battled back and being shorthanded did not help. However - the Kings missed their two best players themselves and still managed to beat us. That says a lot.
I agree that we need THJ back in form - but wen can only pray that he'll be hot again when it matters. And banking on an extremely streaky player is no long-term solution for anything. Timmy needs to be a true 6th man, which means he can't be expected to be your third best player for an entire season.
Kudos to Dorian for his hot streak, he has been really impressive the last couple of weeks. But not unlike THJ, we can't build a team that relies on him being an offensive factor.
Also, what really annoyed me, was Luka being so passive. It seemed like he was forcing to get assists and was passing up so many opportunities for himself. The others did not convert so he had to take over sooner.
Lastly, I am done with Melli. He brings some energy and rebounding which is fine I guess but you can't afford to give a guy like this big minutes. His shot is dead broken and he also shows really bad hands - losing balls and stuff.
