Heart break hotel.
Lost in all this was the fact that Rivers had a great 2nd half, and he did a really good job running the backup point. No coincidence there. Roberts needs to sit for the rest of the season. Rivers showed a lot tonight at the 1.

Roberts has already lost his job.
I loved what I was seeing from him at the point.
So what does Monty do? He slides him to the 2, plays him for 20 seconds along side Vasquez, and proceeds to bench Rivers for the remainder of the game.....

is a horrible game to you. He shot poorly tonight, but He has been hitting clutch shots during our winning streak. Where is the *****ing for all the missed Free Throws by Davis and the rest of the team? Vasquez was not why we lost. You would rather us play who at PG that can rack up those stats and contribute to this team. Monty waited maybe 2 or 3 minutes to long to put the starters back in.
Gordon had the ball at the end of the game btw...
People chill out. Look at the positives. We played a good game, but ran into a team on fire shooting.
I'm sick of seeing our backups going against other team's starters for 9 to 10 minutes at a time.
rivers played well against golden state last time. don't know what that means, but he def needs to get more minutes next game to see if he does it again
I know he's your favorite player, and I like him too, but you can't honestly tell me he was having a good game... Defense was bad all night, turnovers were untimely, missing open shots, bad decisions in the half-court, etc.... He had an off game. It happens. Still, though, he shouldn't have been in the game at the end. Monty needs to be able to recognize when players are having bad games. That's something I thought he would have picked up from Pop (one of his mentors) who is THE best in the game when it comes to sitting players who are struggling.
Oh, man... I was screaming at the refs all night, but that doesn't change the fact that we should have won this game had we not gone 50% from the stripe. That's unacceptable.
Did you just watch the fourth quarter and ignore the first three?
Btw, he came in about 6 minute left in fourth quarter.
He had 2 turnovers... Do you really think Rivers was better for the PG. He practically shot a 3 pointer off the backboard earlier. You are overreacting.
To put it in perspective.... Rivers had 3 turnovers in half the time Vasquez played... lol Watch out... Rivers will come in a close out this game...
I don't look at stats, so I don't know how to respond to this. I watch the game, not the boxscore. Vasquez was off, and I'm not talking about his shooting.
Gordon had the ball about 50% of the time at the end of the game. The ball should be in his hands every single trip down the floor. He wanted the max because he can close games. Let him do what he does.... what he gets paid to do.
Thats what has me pissed....he's always talking about going with the hot hand but he sits AD until 5min left? Then those switches at the end where he put in Roger Mason & Smith in for Anderson & Aminu...and as soon as it happend both of them cause fouls sending GS to the FT line. Gordon should have the ball in his hands the last 5-7 min of the game. Vasquez IMO unless its wide open should not be shooting 27ft 3pts when he's 3 for 10 on the night......
and again DAVIS SHOULD NOT BEE SITTING FOR DAMN NEAR THE ENTIRE 4th QTR.
This is why I KEEP stressing that Monty needs a offensive assistant on the bench with him that has major input on rotations. Dude out thinks himself way too much. Sometimes you just need to keep what you have on the floor. As soon as the lead started slipping is exactly the time Davis & the rest of your starters come in plain & simple...its not a hard logic to grasp...especially when playing a good shooting team like GS.
he had two TO's neither of which led to points. the shots golden state were hitting were tough for anyone to guard. he has been a main reason the hornets are winning now along with gordon and he definitely deserves to be in the end of the game. I honestly don't know what you are talking about or thinking right now
This
Minutes:
Jack - 36
Curry (off a sore ankle) - 38
Thompson - 38
Landry - 38
Davis - 32
Gordon - 31
Vasquez - 34
Anderson - 28
Our winning players should have played winning minutes. Not to mention Lopez only playing 19 against a small, bad defensive team.
So Vasquez with the Flu can't have an off night before we explode on him for having an off night. I don't remember you yelling for Anderson benching when he was off or when Davis was off? I'm just confused on why you think Vasquez was having a "horrible" game when most teams in the league would love a PG to put up those numbers.
Yeah, we did a lot of good, but the game breaker was the rate free throws as a result of the team fouls. The Warriors were in the bonus too early in the 4th and that makes it really hard to play tough D midway in the fourth and it resulted in the Warriors getting easy scores in a tight game. and we are too good of a free throw shooting team to miss all the free throws we did tonite. I think Monty playing Jason Smith at the end is fine as had produced great results, I just disagreed with having him in tonite with Davis playin so well overall.

Rivers is a 20 year old rookie. Vasquez is 26. He shouldn't be turning the ball over in clutch situations. That's something he really needs to work on.
I watched the whole game, and Vasquez was off. You see big assist numbers, and I think the assist is an incomplete statistic. I don't care about assists. His penetration was horrible, he wasn't hitting his floater that he usually does, he had 2 big TOs, and he played NO defense.
Again, I'm a Vasquez fan, but that doesn't mean I can't be critical of him when he has a bad game. I'm not going to "hate" on Vasquez because of one game. It is what it is. I've said what I needed to say, so we can just agree to disagree.
vasquez plays 36 a night most of the time and played 41 against boston with the flu. davis is slowly getting the mintues he should lol. monty kept the reserves in so long that they let the momentum and comeback they had get away.
Are you judging vasquez off of this game only this season. The man has been clutch on most of our games during this winning streaks... You can't have an off night, I guess.
Whether or not he had a good game, he is a better option than Rivers down the stretch. Plain and simple.
And Vasquez being off is hardly why we lost this game.
Not sure why this is such a big topic right now.
you just sound really angry. maybe you've been spoiled by the success
I agree, but I was replying to a post that was saying Vasquez was horrible. The Free throw % was the reason we lost not Monty or Vasquez.
DING DING DING
lol gotta talk/argue about something after a loss right
