Well, it’s happening. I really hoped this wouldn’t happen, but it’s obvious. It’s clear Micic is unhappy. When you watch his body language on the bench, he never claps, cheers, or shows any emotion - ever. For a time I thought it was just his Eastern European edge, but he was at least clapping after the first few weeks of the season. Now it couldn’t be more obvious. I really don’t blame him with the amount of DNPs he’s had.
I honestly don’t understand why we don’t give him minutes. Truly bizarre how OKC brings in some of these international guys and never lets them play, even at the end of the game. Waters over Vasa? WTF. He’s the EUROLEAGUE MVP, not ‘El Tortuga’ (bless you, Deck).
The one big difference between this situation and Deck is that we’re now experienced and loaded. Play time is limited and hard to come by. That said, give the guy some minutes at the end of the game. Let him be flashy, get some runs, make some behind the back passes. Hoping he gets more PT as the year goes on.
