Plumlee was unplayable vs Bam.. JB took him out after getting exposed.. just a bad bad matchup

PJ played some good D as the backup but I think they restricted him on minutes cus we had Bridges playing center at the end..

We need to find a quality Big to help play D and rebound.. there is an available vet FA Center that does those 2 things but I don't want to mention his name.. it rhymes with Wiz.. 😶

JB has to start playing Richards and/or Kai more.  Bam still has strength over them, but they have athleticism to still be there to contest.  PJ is too small and Plumlee is too unathletic.  We have never, ever, ever been able to figure out the big conundrum since we got a franchise back.  It has singlehandedly been the longest and biggest ongoing problem for us, and Chandler was the closest we ever came to solving it, which is sad.

Also, Melo did not look good at all on this road trip.  I suspect his confidence took a little bit of a hit too after the shooting woes.  He started deferring and wasn't even trying to handle the ball or initiate the offense after that last couple of misses.  Looked like the complete opposite of his game against Indy.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
