Clearly Rick would rather J Rich play 41 minutes to THJ's 25 minutes bc he understands that J Rich brings more to the table. J Rich did not have an amazing offensive game but he played tough defense on Jamal Murray who is hard to contain. This is a pretty obvious and conventional opinion (that is that J Rich is better than THJ) but you can go on acting like THJ is better. Please go ahead.
Can tell that you did not watch the game. Sometimes it is better not to post if that´s the case.
Richardson struggling on offense was the biggest reason why the Mavs were down early in the game. He was 0/7 in the first half. Looking like prime Tony Allen. His defense was incredible but that´s not helping when he is still a net negative because of his offense.
THJ was struggling as well but he played good defense and lead the comeback in the 3rd quarter (when Richardson was on the bench). Not to say that he was any better or worse overall. I think both had mediocre games.
Also: I expect Richardson to improve and overall I think he is the better player but based on everything we have seen I just don´t agree with the anti THJ agenda. It feels like every single time the Mavs are struggling it is THJs or Powells fault. That´s just lazy.
That´s me in the post right above yours. You either cannot read or want to attack me for other reasons. if that´s the case I really can´t help you.
