Winning 3 of those 4 is reasonable . . .
If we win 3 of next 4 . . . we will be at .500 after 41 games (half way point of season).Would be nice return for effort . . .
Wow. It would make our hopes of 40+ wins much more realistic.

Fish still needs to find D Will more minutes with the way he's playing lately...16 minutes is not enough.
more than enough. who's minutes should he take?
And, he is completely lost in the offense though still making some plays.
Idk...but he's being aggressive and carrying the offense when he's in there. He brings a dimension to this team we don't have...a hard slasher who gets to the line and is uber athletic..he even rebounded and defended well tonight..what does he have to do to get more run?
play better then the guys in front of him and to learn the offense

It's an 8 man rotation. It works. But they'll all die at that pace . . .
My biggest concern as well.
10 men needs to be the ideal rotation
And we don't have 10.Bring up Fredette, I say . . .
Do we bring in Fredette or groom Grant?
I thought Fredette would be a good option, if we were still losing and needed a boost.
But it might be a better long term investment if we continue to work on Grants development.
Grant still have D.Will type potential. A long defender at the PG position, who can get to the rim.

Fish showing no confidence in jerian messing with his minutes game to game; you cannot develop that way. If that's the case, send him to the D league and bring up Fredette for some instant offense off the bench.

gotta get circumcised and I don't think that being jewish was that important anymore whats that was a requirement and now that he is in miami I heard that he became a cuban from his fathers side

It's sad what injuries have done to Amare's game.
we have an open roster spot...bring up fredette on a 10-day and see what happens

That's my opinion. Let Grant play 30 minutes a night in D-League and get his act together . . .
grant's shot is broken and needs fixing. it may be time to bring in fredette. but if he gives up too much on defense he is going to hurt the team.
amundson...why is he here?

Fish is messing with KO, D Will, and Grant. These guys can be solid contributors, but they need more then 15 minutes per
If I were Rolo's coach, I would say..."great game, 9-12 from the field...but 4 rebounds in 35 minutes and you're a 7 footer?...that's bush league!

He'll be okay with the $50 million or whatever he's earned . . .

Good results tonight...that is all that matters to me. Coaches on the floor are looking at things we don't see because our eyes are usually on the ball.
Williams, from what I saw, played a very good game for the most part- probably one of the better players we have in terms of movement off the ball, and tonight he was an active rebounder and defender.
Somewhat of a freelancer at times, but I like the way he's been playing. Don't see them giving him more than 20MPG, though, unless certain other players are really having problems.

Not at all . . .
Fredette won't kill you on defense any more than jose, and if you play him 10-12 minutes. it doesn't matter as long as he's aggressive on O.
