i agree. AD plays the 4 on defense and 5 on offense in a more spread out scheme.
i'll argue with you and fiz. their games are actually pretty different, imo. lou's an isolation/pick and roll scorer, and monk gets more of his...
what are houston's help defenders doing there? making sure the lethal avery bradley doesn't get a look from three?
i think he is. i read that piece a while back wherein he reflected on the past few years of his life, and i think fiz had something of an...
i don't think the pels wanted to give us AD, either. my point is we need to be able to make a big offer in a couple years. i realize that's...
three guards. don't love. really reeks of throwing stuff against the wall at this point. love that stanley johnson gets a shot, but i don't...
uh...lavine hasn't played more than 63 games since his second year. i think people don't have a firm grasp on how many games non-AD players miss....
agree. but we've lost five in a row due in part to similar problems, so i'd be pissed if they rectified it at this point.
i honestly don't know the answer so this isn't a rhetorical question (but might end up as one): how does his FGA% breakdown across those areas....
right. the only moderately successful "smallball" systems jettisoned small sgs (and sometimes even small pgs). 5 6'7" guys can work if they're...
oh god why did this thread show back up?
without the pick plz. same way i felt about the westbrook deal. we were already giving up enough without tossing a 1st on top of it.
i'm expecting a serious effort on defense. and i'm seeing almost none of it. westbrook himself is bringing up the big counting stats on offense....
sure. or the 30-game sample extrapolates better than the 10-game sample, as is generally the case. i was all for writing stuff off for the first...
yeah, he harped on people expecting big stats, but that's not what we need. didn't see the word defense anywhere, and that's on the reporters,...
they've had puzzling losses like everyone, but they have just stomped some teams, too. and done more of the latter. can't believe so many teams...
not only that, but when AD is back, we can take some more serious looks at him at center with stan or ariza playing alongside melo or lebron. no...
i respect svtzr's opinion on this and everything; i just can't agree that russ has been good for us so far. and i'm worried that his defensive...
true. it's the optimism thread, so i'll avoid talking about how i think AD won't be able to be himself for the rest of the year (which is, as...
right. i'm not sure we can cherrypick the 1/3 of the season we like. russ has gotten better offensively as the year has worn on and has stayed...
