DJlaysitup Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 ...really, the guy doesn't suck (as some feel) and he is a more "playoff time" PG. I would say we need to give him a bit more "burn" if we expect to go further in the playoffs than usual...JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hate to post on my own post - but "Right Now" Mack probably has the talent to be a second guy PG on a lot of good teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS17Fanboy Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) He was hitting shots, but two of them where assists by Dennis and while Dennis was trying to involve the under-used Jenkins and Mack in garbage time, Mack was just about his. Which is fine, but he wasnt playing like a revelation PG wise. He just hit the shots he got. But indeed, I think hes to good for third string. Shouild have been show-cased more during the season and should have been traded for a big. Edited February 21, 2015 by DS17Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamarHampton Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I like Mack a lot, problem is where/from whom does he get his minutes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted February 22, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think that he should. When the playoffs come around, it will be all hands on deck. However, before the playoffs come around, Bud should continue his practice of resting our starters when he can. We don't want to go into the playoff or into a series drained with no way of resting our best guys. Mack should be interchangable with Teague or Dennis. The same way that we have Bazemore and Thabo who will play at a high level (when Thabo gets back). I think that when the playoffs come around, we should be able to go at other teams in waves (up to 9 guys). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Use it or lose it. True, whether it be talent or what. Finding him minutes? Just a few here and there seems to me to be better than those DNP- coaches decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted February 23, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's like carrying three catchers. Since we have the luxury of 3 really good PGs we should utilize it while we can. You never know when someone will get hurt or sick and this offense isn't going to work with Baze at the point. We need Mack for insurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's one thing I know about Mack. is that he stays ready for whenever his number is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Baze running the point in spot duty here and there hasn't been disasterous. I can't recall a single turnover from him since Bud starting experimenting with it a few weeks ago. I'm a Mack supporter but there are 2 reasons he should remain seated: he still knows the offense a little better than Dennis and Baze so he can afford to sit. Secondly, Dennis and Baze simply make more plays. Let him sharpen his observation chops from the bench with Elton and have them both shiny for the playoffs.

Duff_Man Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Mack's main issue is that he tends to call his own number a little too much. Plus, there's not a lot they can do to chip into Dennis' minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Mack is our 'break glass in case of emergency' guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobrathbun4pres Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 As the season goes on and we have a big enough lead for the 1st seed, he will get loads more PT I would think. Especially when Teague and Dennis need days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Played last night for 7 minutes and scored 7 points. 3 for 5 shooting and one was for 3! Guess he was "good to go!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonegully Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I wish he would stop attacking the basket, then picking up his dribble looking to pass. That irks my nerves. He stops right at the basket. Either dribble back out or finish at the basket. He really needs to work on the finishing at the rim part of his game Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJHAWK Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Got to get him back in rhythm. He is too good of a player to bury on the bench.He can shoot lights out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
