He had a very long leash until JB got more comfortable with Kadary. Now its mostly his heat checks that result in bad shots leading to fast breaks by the opposing team. JB has had enough of that.How is that handled/accepted by players? It drives me crazy as a fan. He literally can do nothing to lose minutes and I know he can catch fire at any time.

You must be one of those people that think missed shots equal bad shotsHe played 38 minutes today, so it appears that JB is still pretty forgiving of Buddy's bad/forced shots

They operate under the principle that you make 100 percent of the shots you don’t takeYou must be one of those people that think missed shots equal bad shots
Every player takes bad shots. Every player. It’s not some buddy phonemenaYou didn't think that he took any bad shots today?
We got a lot inside today because VT wouldn’t come off Buddy and Girard. He opens up the floor. Even when he’s not scoring he still effects the way the defense plays. I do think he could play a little less, especially if Woody is up to playing. At least he didn’t hang out at the three point line all game.

Man I saw the thread and totally misread it. I thought it was about Girard having a shorter leash suddenly.He had a very long leash until JB got more comfortable with Kadary.

Buddy wouldn’t have played as many minutes if Kadary doesn’t get in foul trouble.
Great win today. Great coaching by JB and the staff today for the game and, clearly, great coaching on the practice court. The team is getting better.
Enjoy it some folks.

The less obvious game within the game is that Buddy is often the focus of the defense. His man usually does not offer help or switch on screens. I think he plays too many minutes relative to the combinations we can roll out, but he does impact the game by more than his shooting.We got a lot inside today because VT wouldn’t come off Buddy and Girard.

Defenders did the same exact thing to Trevor Cooney.The less obvious game within the game is that Buddy is often the focus of the defense. His man usually does not offer help or switch on screens.

Today, the emphasis to penetrate the lane was evident across the board. JB has taken a beating for his rotations (rightful so, IMO), but his ability to adapt the offense is still HOF quality.
I agree Kadary got in foul trouble in like 30 secs. If he doesn’t do that Buddy plays far less than 38 minutes today.
JB coached up well the last two games, you have to respect that
Buddy should play no more than 15 minutes a game coming off the bench.
