What? How about we see the team with Bari actually contributing off the bench? Or how about we give this lineup more than one game to get used to each other?
Yes but Bari being out is not the same as Bari being the 6th man or Bari being traded for someone who can contribute too. That's not a real test. Listen anyone who says Bari is not valuable is stupid, but him being out injured is not a decent quality evidence of his impact. Tari and Reed are contributing off the bench when Bari starts. Bari has started for most of the past 3 years. Reed and Tari just started starting. Be balanced with them man.
You are replying to me when we are talking about different things. Not talking about him being the sixth man. He was out a significant amount of time last year when he broke his hand. It’s evident when he DOESN’T PLAY.
But what does that even mean? Why would it not matter when someone plays? If you remove an average player from a rotation, the rotation will weaken. Is this news to anyone? What's relevant to us is whether we should start, bench or trade him. IMO we win this game if Bari leads the second unit. They had nothing without him.
Wonder if those haters think it’s still a good idea now given Tari’s recent bad play and outrage on the court.
I try not to judge a player solely on their hot and cold streaks. While short-term, I expect more from JSJ, a month from now, I expect Tari to either be hurt or playing better than JSJ.
I don't care how many 5 game stretches he has where he doesn't look awful, this dude stinks. He needs to put a full season together. He's arguably one of the worst starters on a team that's actually trying to win.
It's so tiring watching his hot cold streak and not knowing which version is going to show. Ime also has no idea how to use him properly
