    ASAP please. We’re trying to tank right? Are we afraid he messes that up? He’s basically the same age as Scoot. Let’s see him run!

  2. It’s not like we can do worse than going without a win for a whole month.

    > Makes no sense Justin Minaya gets minutes but not Rupert (and a bunch of other things. But this one in particular)

    Makes a lot of sense when you consider Minaya is a guard and all of our guards have been hurt. Meanwhile Grant, Camara, Murray, and Walker have been healthy.

    Chauncey: “Yeah ima stop you right there G”

  5. I honestly don’t even care anymore. I need to move on from this season for my own mental health

    it’s ridiculous that he can’t even get in for the last 5 minutes of a blowout loss

    Yeah I still think it’s better not rush Rupert into minutes. He’s very raw offensively and you risk ruining his confidence as well as creating bad habits on the court.

    I think closer to April, Chauncey should get him like a 10-15 game stretch of off the bench minutes. It’s a big enough game sample to get him enough of an idea of what the NBA is really like and sees what he needs to work on. It’s also not too big of a sample size where I could affect his confidence with some poor shooting or being benched for bad mistakes

    Is he off the injury list? Just his luck when there were other guys getting hurt and opportunity opens up and he gets injured too.

    The sooner, the better. I want to see him get some run at SG as well.

    He’s been dealing with an ankle injury just before the all star break. I’m not really worried about it. I might stand alone but I don’t think he’s really game minute ready and is benefiting a lot from the gleague. We got him for 4 years, don’t need to rush anything here.
