I was kind of fooled by Kent Bazemore’s good performances with the Lakers last year. I should have known better than to think that he’s anything more than a guy you submerge in the deepest end of the bench, only to be revived in dire circumstances.
Dire circumstances which apparently include “Hawks coaching staff hubristically resting all their good players because they saw Popovich do it”. I’m not complaining; I love seeing a starting ensemble of Schroder-Jenkins-Bazed God-Muscala-Brand. That’s like my dream Hawks lineup right there, in terms of role-players balling hard.
