yeah i would have played him to start the 3rd to keep luka quiet (unless he is hurting)

missing fultz this half

Mose said in pregame that he was gonna be on a big minutes restriction

holy Sh*t AB!!!!

is fultz just maintenance or is he hurt again?

Well, just when we thought, ....... Markelle doubters rejoice he is listed as questionable due to injury maintenance

Unless I'm not seeing something the torch has been passed booker getting superstar calls ... but not Durant

I was wondering how long cole was gonna stay in this group takes it home JI and MO!!!!!

he is Ab ballin Was about to apologize to cole after a few good plays, but before i could type, .... nope lol

the challenges not for us, good for them, and then that foul call on ingles i hope the refs are getting paid well

Come on give the guy a break, lol And I would still keep him over Cole. Since he came in 2 fouls and 2 forced shots

I agree with all that You posted. Of course IF ... My post about losing Markelle in the summer or having him come off the bench was a worse case scenario. And that worse case, to me, says we should keep moving forward with him for now. I know others strongly disagree. None of us have any control over this. Whatever happens I'll still be a fan, lol.

What i would like to see is Fultz start most of this year and mentor AB. Then, in the summer, if he is willing to come off the bench, resign him. If not, let him go. (yes I know that means no value, but really, other than his expiring contract, he has no value now. IIf we trade and Fultz is selling to come off the bench, I say keep him. But if we have a new traded for PG and Fultz, where does that leave AB? Is AB more of a shooting guard? Or does that mean fultz would become 3rd string? Again, my first sentence started with "What I would like..." none of it may be possible or make sense.

I know that the smart thing is to make trades and get a point guard. But I agree with Junkie These guys should see this through and see whats what. I know that means we may lose Markelle and gary for nothing. I dont think i care. Play it out. see if Markelle will come off the bench (yes, i have accepted that he is not a starter) if not, let him go. I know that this does not make the most "buisness" sense But, i work in entertainment as a lighting designer. My buisness, and this, is not just about the bottom line It's about trust, loyalty and seeing a project through. Lets see this through. Then see where we go

murray maybe, not trae ... there is something to be said for chemistry, and from all reports, Trae is not a guy to build chemistry with

I agree with all of the above. I think Fultz is a good team guy. If he would be happy coming off the bench I say keep him and get a new starting PG. You said yourself that we have no back up. Make Fultz the back up.

i dont think of it as over reacting i am watching the game and calling out what I am seeing did not call for anyones head lol

how can this be the same team? ok their 3pt shooting is on fire but damn run them off, dont leave them open missed shots at the rim turn overs again and of course, cole forcing

i agree but they both seemed strong last night makes me wonder if these "injury maintenance" are the players choice or the training staff and if the staff, how much do they take the players opinions into account?

OK i guess that makes sense and i am not saying that i know better than the players and/or trainers if they sit they sit just curious about why the designation i guess the anti tanking kinda makes sense, thanks My son , who is more of a hockey fan, said they call it a healthy scratch ... and that it is usually a sign that the player is about to be traded

Hi folks, I'm hoping to get a little information from somebody out there. As I posted earlier, I was very disappointed that Fultz is not available tonight. I wanted original starting five to get a run of five games or so before the trade deadline. But I guess that's not gonna happen. But then I got to thinking about this not available due to health maintenance designation. Why would you ever list anyone under that condition? Why would you not just have them suit up, and not play them... like we did with Bitaze last night. Whether it's Markel,l Ji whoever, have them suited up, have them on the bench, and just don't play them unless you need to. This would do two things. One, the opposite team would have to game plan for them. And #2 if you really got into trouble and needed to save the game, they would be available. It seems like a really poor tactical decision to list anyone that way. Can someone tell me, is there any real good valid reason to list someone as out for injury maintenance? Rather than just leave them on the bench and not play them? I look forward to all of your greater knowledge informing me lol

I agree start black But I also have to say how disappointing it is that Fultz is being held out We got a tease last night of how good this team can be, and now it changed again. I understand the why, so not angry about it, just disappointing i wanted to see our starters on a second and third game back together to get a real sense before the deadline.

markelle still wont shoot outside, but 6/7 with 12 points 2 blocks and 2 steals if we really are thinking of trading he just upped his value lol but i hope we keep him

AAll of the starters in double digits and the whole team positive in the +/- this has been a great game

even when cole scores, like he just did, it is usually forced and sloppy
