What's the over/under on number of post game interviews before PW explodes?

Those interviews seem to be wearing on him already. If Tyreke doesn’t come back soon and we don’t get a win before the next road trip, PW might start sending one of his assistants out.

Anybody else believe PW’s reason for not starting Hawes. He paused a very long time trying to come up with an answer to the Hawes question. Either he really doesn’t care about numbers, or he isn’t willing to give anyone props after a bad beat. At least Jerry & Grant tried to keep it on the upbeat side, looking at the positives.

That's Grant & Jerry's job

I already explained this in my postgame recap HT. I don’t want to re-write it all here.

Doesn't really matter why he's not starting him

I get the feeling he’s focusing on certain aspects of Spencer’s and Donté’s games that they need to improve on if they want more PT. And to this point they aren’t where he wants them to be. I’m guessing shot selection and defense are very high on the list for both players.

Spencer's playing right now

Donte isn’t.

So

Neither are playing as much as they’d like.

Yeah

Do you really think Spencer is going to be coming off the bench all season?

No, because

I would expect him to improve in the areas the PW has identified for him.

Do you think he will start if he doesn’t defend, jacks up contested 3s and doesn’t rebound?

Nope

Why should he?

And we are now back around to the point of my original post.

Well done circular man!

Answer: 2pi. Question: How many times around Kfan’s twisted brain does it take to arrive you at the same point.
