Not playing Holmes more in a game like this is inexcusable. We were desperate for an interior presence and a pick-and-roll partner for Luka.
THJ may have had an OK stat line and hit some big threes but his play was straight garbage. If he dribbles the ball more than once it's a 4-point swing for the other team.
I understand that Maxi is an OK defender (i.e. he understands rotations and makes an effort), but he is scared as f*ck to shoot and has lost a step. He is not an NBA rotation player right now.
Nico has to be looking at packaging some combination of Green, THJ, Maxi, and picks for an upgrade.
