A lot of the defensive rebounding issues have come from Jo being at the 4. But i think its too quick to judge if the pairing is going to work. They need more minutes together to figure it out. One could argue that Pau's impact on the offensive end is just as important. We'll see how things play out. Also, Jo has been battling knee issues, so some games he looks like his old self, and other nights he just doesn't have it. That plays into things as well.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to sit Jo or Pau once a week or so to give them some rest and keep them fresh. Knowing Thibs this will never happen.

Well, that has been happening. If they take themselves out of the lineup, they don't play. Thibs can't touch them. Now the question is, when will Jimmy learn?

He's playing for that fat payday!

im sure he may have privately but i dont recall him ever saying it publicly. he has been rather calm through all this, which is suprising

That team is a dumpster fire. I don't see them in the playoffs.

They are secretly tanking to keep their Top 5 protected pick.

That's why they had to take out Randle in game 1.
