Well Bo can think what he likes about Burks, but the funny part is his continued insistence that Thibs values Bulloxks more...all while Thibs has given more minutes to Burks..
EVERY SINGLE GAME, PRE AND POST INJURY
Well, Thibs likes Reggie's D, but Reggie is hurting, so we shall see when Bullock comes back.
Bo thinks we should have signed BB to the contract Atlanta gave him. We disagree.
Bo thinks we should have made a run at Christian Wood. We agree. Know he was on our radar before we drafted Obi. We appear to have struck gold on High IQ.
As per the issue of starting?
Last night Elfrid played 24 and Immanuel played 24.
IQ is wending his way to signficantly more minutes. Worth recalling that it took IQ a number of games coming back from injury to shake off the rust on get into rhythm.
We know Thibs LOVES High IQ. I get the sense he wants to make his a starter in all but starting.
Remember a very talented Jazz PF/SF name of Thurl Bailey?
There was a period of time early on in the Strockton/Malone/Eaton Epoch when the Jazz used to start Marc Ianaroni and bring Thurl in off the bench, affording him cushier matchups as a 6'11" PF/SF.
Proving?
Not a damn thing.
But I think Thibs is trying to ease IQ in, not that he doesn't believe in him, quite the contrary, and he came damn close to helping us pull out a game we had no right to be in after a horrific first half.
I don't think Thibs wants to lose Elfrid, who seems to shine maybe 1-out-of-3 games, what with Frank coming back and Austin Rivers also competing for minutes.
Austin appears to be hurting, because after a hot start, he has come down to Earth.
Me personally?
I would like to see an IQ/French Frank combo, with Frank D-ing up and playing both on and off the ball, with Burks and RJ and Bullock fighting for minutes at the 3.
But as per IQ?
It's coming.
