I see the Wiz finally put Nene back in the starting lineup, but he still only played 29 minutes.

That team is tanking something terrible.

when we had our home and home with them the first game he was out..the second game he started and played like nothing was wrong lmao

He's been hurt this whole time and they're slowly working him back. I can vouch for them

Pugz they didn't want him to play back-to-back games.

not playing in one and then starting is idiotic. play him low mpg.

Anthony Davis is averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks since being reinserted into the starting lineup. Not bad.

Lol you clearly don't know what you're talking about from both a maximizing an injured players' capabilities standpoint and a physical recovery standpoint so I'm not going to delve too deep into this. They're bringing him along slowly though and they're handling it fine.

lol ok. not playing him and then playing him 30+mpg gets you no where. play the dude low minutes each game, if hes in pain then dont play him.

youre always quick to bring up the "you dont know what youre talking about" line.

Pistons beat the Heat tonight

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm sorry if it came off as rude but you're just exuding that you don't know what you're talking about here and I can give you so many reasons why your way isn't the proper way to handle it if you really want me to

 

[Pugz]

sitting and playing on and off is no better than playing minimal minutes each game. theyre just trying to not tank to the public eye. they have no reason to not play their guys but theyre giving them as much rest as they need/can.

 

[elcheato]

5 fouls on Harden, 4 on Lin, should be 3 and 3 at the worst. I hate the Spurs in San Antonio. They get games fucking handed to them.

Rockets FTA: 26
Spurs FTA: 24

You do realize that players actually take a physical toll from each game right? Especially the day after? Playing in both games vs. the Pistons would have been his 4th game in 5 days, and when you're not 100% there's no need to be putting him out there like that. Giving a player a full day off is COMPLETELY different than playing him minimal minutes both nights, and Nene not being 100% only adds to the physical toll of playing a back-to-back.

Plus, Mr. Conspiracist, have you looked at the Wizards roster? They don't need to tank, they're bad enough as it is.

I don't think you'll admit you're wrong here but just trust me, I know what I'm talking about...

More appropriate is the 22-21 foul calls.

just saw my man james johnson hit a 3 to beat the knickerbockers

 

[Mexi]

lol knicks were down 27
came allllll the way back. were up 2 with 15 seconds left

kings were playing hot potato. idk how they even got a shot off. every dribble and pass was a turnover waiting to happen

and james johnson got the 3 and hit it top of the key. kinda like the Horry shot vs the kings, but not quite as poetic

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

James Johnson hurting feeling

wait this is real life and not a video game? i had no clue players get fatigued..

yea they are bad but if you dont think theyre playing worse than they actually are then youre wrong..

 

[Pugz]

More appropriate is the 22-21 foul calls.

we can all agree that the difference doesnt mean jack. they couldve let more important fouls go uncalled.

 

[Mexi]

portland's trying to tank imo (not talking about tonight)

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Really needs to get his weight up lol.

They're not. I watch a lot of Wizards games. You can't fault them for not playing hard, they just suck.
