Exactly. And I was right, he never came back in.

You have player who just went for 19/14 in 23 minutes and you couldn't find more time for him in a 48 minute basketball game? And this is BTW with Olynyk hurt

Spo does somethings really really well. But I stand by he's the most retarded coach with substitutions and personnel management.

And they lose. This team is going to miss the playoffs

His misuse of Whiteside has been downright flagrant.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Spo up to his same shitty rotation. 19 and 14 for Hassan in 23 minutes and he's been sitting on the bench forever.

What a clown. Watch him don't play Hassan for the rest of the game.

At this point, just trade Whiteside. If you have a max player, then use him. If you're not going to use him, then trade him for pieces/picks.

Not sure if anything to it, but I read a potential trade could be Whiteside, + for Gasol, Tyreke.

Whiteside sitting every 4th qtr is beyond ridiculous.

Kings started the game 0-10 from the field and didn't score for 6 minutes

I'm all for it at this point. I like Whiteside as a player, but not while he's on the bench.

Tonight he sat the final 16 minutes. Took him out around 4 minutes left in the 3rd and he never came back in but yet Ellington who didn't hit a shot tonight, somehow deserved 30 minutes off the bench.

Yep. He deserves to play for a team where the coach actually wants him and won't waste his talents and almost never play him 30 minutes.

 

[bksballer89]

In the 20 games since returning from his injury, he played 30+ minutes 4X

23 minutes for a guy that's making $25 mil per year. Something seems off.

Why doesn spo hate whiteside so much?

[Bolts]

Nasty, Sampson might wanna back away next time.

Fox injured on an alley oop, not good. X-Rays negative out with a sprained ankle.

Toss in Cleveland's draft pick (not the Nets pick). Cavs get some defensive help. You guys shed some salary short and long term
