Hopefully this new version of Hayes remains. He’s a useful player playing like this

If this is balling out, we need better

He is 6-10 from the FG, 3/6 from the 3 with 16 points and +7, getting paid 4.5 mil, what should we expect?


He played well but his leash is insane.

His minutes probably came from wood and Hayes today. Ham putting him on the bench is already a good start, but Rui clearly can’t stay with quicker guys
We either start max/reddish/prince. Rui not only can’t cover for DLo/AR, he needs them to cover for him.

Wow, our “others” have really stepped up these past two games. Reaves, Prince, DLO, Rui, Jax …..they’ve all been awesome

Jax has 10 points tonight? Another 10 point game. 2 games in a row now in a row now. And 0 fouls again!


I’ve been impressed with Jax the last two games I think the not fowling is leading the confidence in other areas

Yeah, unfortunately I’m seeing the same thing. I wish that we had the same level of rui defensively as we do offensively

That’s nice and all but his leash still too long.

He’s been a guaranteed 30 minute + player every game.
He just happened to play well today.

He wasn’t even that much better on defense than Rui today.
We only stopped Brunson once we started doubling and he was tired from playing so many minutes.

I get it you wanna defend Prince.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t play at all. But he’s being treated like a star by Ham.

They gave up 105 to the Celtics and the Knicks, but 140 to the hawks and the rockets, if this is not altitude/effort issue, I don’t know what is

I don’t want to defend Prince, I am just saying this forum’s obsession with Prince is kind of getting out of control. Nobody should guarantee him 30 minutes, but if our coach chose to play him 30 minutes, then that’s on the coach, not the player. We certainly didn’t sign him to be that guy.

No its a coach..You playing Prince getting burnt on Brunson. Can you imagine if Randle and Others were there and your coach is insisting on doubleing Brunson...Randle and Company would have a NBA Career night. Lets be honest they just have brunson..FOR NOW. Hawks and Rockets do actually have NBA players that can score you know?

Yeah, I don't know if people think he should refuse to check in or something. He gets hated too much for his coach's overreliance on him. TP isn't bad, he should just be playing fewer minutes. Him being played against the bench would be ideal.

It is on the coach

Prince is what he is, I actually would like to see more of Christie definitely don’t want to see so much of prince we start getting healthy players back and we’ve been more than welcome to trade that put prince on the bench

Yup me making the comment that he has a long leash was me saying Ham plays him too much.

I wasn’t saying it was Prince’s fault he’s playing so many minutes.

If they beat the hornets Monday, this was a pretty good Grammy trip, obviously the losses were frustrating, but I will take 4-2 on the road any time

He played well but his leash is insane.

To be fair, he's our only good spot-up 3-point shooter and floor spacer, and we're in desperate need of 3-point shooting and floor spacing.

The way we play defense when we actually show up, maybe we can get away with playing Prince 30+ minutes when he's shooting well, even though his defense is mid.

Rui is a good spot up 3 pt shooters too

He is, but he doesn't shoot as many of them. It also seems he mainly uses the threat of the 3-point shot to get to his favorite spots closer to the basket.
