    Wasn’t he a point guard before a growth spurt got him to forward/center size? Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else.

    Oh, he went by Burt back then.

    Anyways, seems like dude is suddenly shrinking. There goes our lengf advantage. Bron just needs to take his guys out east already for the Miami-treatment. Why wait till the roadie?

    Wait he is only 6'9.75'' and not 6'11''? I don't want him anymore.

    He’s too short center, make him play PF unless we go small ball

    Thing with basketball is players play with shoes and socks, so what their height is on the court is really the legit height as they play. Just sayin.

    Pumped for AD to play tomorrow. Always scary with his history.

    He does hit and land on the floor a lot. Reminded me of Roy Hibbert. Dude was always on the ground.

    So KD has grown without shoes...he always faked his height in order to be a full-time SF. Kinda soft like AD.

    Yeah, his shot hasn't arrived to LA yet. It will, not worried there.

    Too much forced entry to him outside the post by Bron. No movement. No pick and rolls. No swinging the ball around to get a different angle on an entry pass. Get him on a spot sooner before Clips setup. I put more of his struggles on Frank and Bron.

    [Ducks to avoid tomatoes being thrown in my direction] where's rondo when you need him? His chemistry with AD could've helped.

    I'm still getting used to the nuances of AD's game. With that said I think lots of times he was posted way too far from the basket. He's capable of operating 17 ft out bc hes that good. Posting him closer would just be easier on him. But looking back from what I remember in his NO years, it looks like this is the place where he likes to operate.
