This is kind of funny

 

 

Wow! And here I was asking about if we should trade for the guy because he's a physical marvel (silly me). After seeing that, he's totally clueless on offense and defense and fundamentally has a long way to go. No thanks!

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

So about our depth. We have the depth to lose a point guard or a forward or a center from our rotation without missing a beat. 

We don't have the depth to lose all 3 simultaneously.

Birch has been pretty disappointing in his two starts. 

5 points 5.5 rebounds and 0 blocks in 27mpg isn't going to get it done

What’s his D rating been? Feels like in the 2 games with Vooch and AG out that the starters can’t play defense and the bench can’t play offense

And, he had 2 quick fouls in the game against the Pistons. I wanted to post, "So how does that separate him from Bamba"? Some on here have critized Bamba for his tendency to get into early foul trouble.

 

Edit: Start Bamba!

His second foul was definitely a bogus call in that game, and they’re both prone to foul trouble. Khem being bad doesn’t make  Mo good, and vice versa, they just both need to be good enough to not be a net negative on the team.

The comparisons were not intended to say that Bamba is better than Birch. Since there is not a big gap between the 2, in my opinion, based on Bamba's performance in the first quarter, we need to give him the oportunity to work as hard as he did with the first unit. I feel that it will yield a positive return and at the same time boost his confidence.

I’m down for changing up the rotation in just about any way after the past couple games.

We need to do something..... let’s try starting Aminu and Bamba.

No aminu please for the love of god

[The Boss 129]

Let's just try playing at a fast pace and run every chance we get. We might make some mistakes but we are making mistakes playing slow so what's there to lose?
