Gabe Vincent Discussion: JJ Would Love 10 Gabe Vincents

This.

I got sidetracked, addressing the new post about when Rui comes back. My original statement about starting Smart was about the first couple games of this season, where we should have started Smart over Gabe imo. (This is, after all, the Gabe thread, not the Rui thread, which is why this initially came up.)

Moot point for a while now, unfortunately.

 

I missed that subtlety, instead of Gabe in the short term, yeah, if he was healthy, no problem. But, I think the whole reason JJ is starting Gabe is to keep Smarts usage down and even that didn't work.

 

Smart played 23 and 21 minutes in the first 2 games, which he could have done whether starting/closing or coming off the bench. Doesn't and shouldn't matter.

Then Gabe got injured in Game 3 and only played 18 min, which is why Smart played 30 min. Then got injured.

 

Injury update before the game

 

2-4 weeks

 

Gabe is the reverse Phoenix: when you think he's alive, he becomes dead again

 

the beauty now is that he's an expiring. if he's , so what? hell, even better, as it would mean we're losing nothing when we trade him.

it was him being dead during the first damn year of his three-year contract that stung.

 

Proof of life

 

Yay.

Thiero and his funny looking shoes stepped on the 3 point line first 3 attempts. Oblivious. Come on Lindsey pay attention.

 

Gabe is alive!

Good game as well

 

Wish we had 10 of him!

then we could make some good trades
