Brendan Haywood

He can't be playing that many minutes if he's this ineffective.

Played 11-plus minutes in the fourth quarter, can't be playing that many minutes if he's this ineffective.

The guy that needs to be playing?

The rookie, Dylan Harper.

Dylan Harper needs to be getting those minutes.

Harper played 28 minutes in the opener.

If De'Aaron Fox gets off to the kind of start we saw him get off to in Game 2, those numbers needs to be flicked.

I mean, it's strange to say, but the two-time All-Star, former Clutch Player of the Year, should not be playing over the 20-year-old rookie.

Not the way Fox is playing.

Now, we know he's got the ankle injury.

That's obviously inhibited him during the postseason.

But it's not time to trust the veteran in this situation.

It's time to play the best players.

And if De'Aaron Fox is not playing like that, then you can't play him.

He's shooting 42% from the floor in the playoffs.

He's shooting under 30% from three.

The leash on De'Aaron Fox needs to be really short going into this game, too.

Yeah, Paulie.

The second half of game one, I think the Spurs had 21 points in the third, 19 in the fourth.

Is it anything more than just being tired compared to the Knicks not being tired, or was there flaws with their attack?
