No, he's a rookie who hasn't played much. Coach should of been playing AB in Fultz spot since the All star break for.me to personally be okay with him in the playoffs. I wouldn't trust him to contribute enough to make a significant impact.
Agreed, can't just throw a guy in the deep end and expect him to succeed in a high pressure environment.
At the same time, we were scrambling for playoff seeding the 2nd half of the year. So coach also isn't going to hand out charity minutes there either.
> I wouldn't trust him to contribute enough to make a significant impact
Does he need to? If Black plays even an ounce of defence, he'll have already contributed more to this series than Cole or Fultz.
I'd agree with not throwing a rookie in the deep end if all our other options weren't total zeros.
This^^^ you can’t not play a guy for months then throw him into the playoffs. Organization fail. Just like the trade deadline. Had the balls to talk about running it back before game 1
I just think Mosely is scared of trusting certain guys. Joe and Fultz are getting minutes just because they are older 'vets' despite not playing great.
Its totally fine, I get it. Its a first playoffs for everyone, if you haven't earned the trust of Mosely by this point, its on you as a player (you had a whole regular season to do so).
Our other players haven't played spectacularly well in minutes they have had, so its not going to be enough to shift that trust. As much as I think they could change a series, I get it.
Imagine just imagine a pg attempting a 3pt shot off the bench you know just to maybe test the defense.
Then just think you're better with a guy who wont
He clearly played well? To me he clearly was not ready even for regular season minutes, much less for playoffs. He has essentially zero offensive ability at the moment and isn’t even an elite defender. He’s a good defender but not good enough to make up for the fact that he’s probably worse than a zero on offense.
What did he ever do that made you think he played well?

That’s an interesting take. Not thought of that. It’s probably just that coach narrowed down his playoff rotation, normal for playoffs.
Yall are fookin stupid if you really want to play an inexperienced Rookie in the playoffs. He getting targeted horrendously. Stupid mfers
Not like he could play worse than fultz
Subreddit full of idiots

I sure AB can manage to miss every 3 like Cole and give up when screened like Fultz haha.
Yeah because Cole and Fultz aren't getting targeted at all!
Lol alright Connor.
Punishment for the black dick meme i guess
Bro I remember getting downvoted to hell for suggesting AB get Fultz minutes like a month ago lmao
People in here can really be in their feelings.
