. Farieds “personal reasons” for missing game 5

I get that he ain't much of a defender, but not playing the Manimal when your team need that jolt of energy through a thunderous dunk and that little thing in BB called rebounds is totally inexcusable. That by itself is a fireable offense, and MDA should go.

 

Why MDA dont give chances to him

 

It’s not like capela was Gobert defensively anyways.

Outside of his block on iggy his paint defense has been as bad as people think faried is.

 

I wonder if we will ever learn the true reason Manimal was benched. It had better be for good reason, because his on-court performance was mostly a plus for us this season. I thought he should start, or at least get big minutes, alongside Capela. Don't have numbers, just an impression: he seemed to bring energy and hustle and a better chance at winning 50-50 balls.

Not playing Manimal was the one glaring MDa decision bothered me the most.
