Lol JJ Barea isn’t playing because he’s 35 and not better than any of the players playing ahead of him.
In his time playing he hasn’t been better than Brunson has been ALL season. Not statistically or the eye test. I think that if it warranted Rick would play him more than less than 25% of our games. When you ever seen a team monitor health like that? Lmao theres a reason he’s been asked if he wanted to get in during garbage minutes....you’re going on about 7 games of “spurts” where we went 3-3 and JJ cracked 10-12 in a few of them. He hasn’t been great. He’s been aight. Go look at Jalen’s game to game numbers. There’s a reason they’re high on him. He’s been the reason they won games this year.
Yall crazy. Talking about JJ Barea
I mean you could say JJ won us the Orlando game and he sparked the comebacks in the Sacramento and Miami games. He’s been solid when given time. If he closed the Miami game in place of Brunson I’m pretty confident we win that. I don’t hate Brunson and I’m glad he’s on the team but he’s had problems closing games.
Don’t understand the JJ hate regardless of how you feel about Brunson.

I don’t hate JJ lol I just know that an undersized and now old JJ Barea should not be playing ahead of anyone in our guard rotation. You’re sick in the head if you think he should.
You’re nitpicking a few instances by Jalen Brunson who’s a winner and has been terrific for us ALL year but gassing up a few instances from JJ Barea in 7 games. You can speculate what games you think we could’ve won with Barea in but we’ve seen Brunson literal control and take over quarters to help us win this year.
He’a literally here as a mascot this season w/ an occasional appearance. If he played more, you’d have more complaints....
He can stay over there with broekhoff.
“Hate” because I dont want a washed up midget running our team over Jalen Brunson, Delon Wright, etc...:what:
Tell Rick Carlisle to stop hating on him then.
Good to see Luka back. Switching off at the end of these games is getting really annoying as well.
Really disliked Luka’s body language this game, tons of complaining ...
And that last second decision making by Doe Doe was horrid
our interior defense has been utter s*** with KP out
teams know he's a cinder block now too, wonder how they will adjust...
We’ve gotten beat like a screen door in a hurricane for 90% of this game but the decision to take out Luka when we got it to 10 was dumb as f***
4th quarters are always so infuriating to watch, everyone on the team suddenly forgets how to play basketball
losing powell is going to have a huge impact. the luka powell pnr was one of the best sources for scoring in the entire league. f***ing sucks hope he can recover and return to form. gotta be gut wrenching for him.
