yes, exactly. one of AD's biggest values is that he eats up small ball defensively and punishes it offensively. you're forced to play at least...
i don't love it because it's not productive right now. he doesn't respond to it. i think windhorst's insight was the most important, and...
agree with all of this. i think all three of our stars thought having more stars meant not attending to detail, particularly on defense. and...
i somehow disagreed on all sides: AD should play a lot of minutes at center. and those minutes should be primarily against backup centers. had...

him not playing defense with any consistency is part of it, though. i'd rather he score 23 and defend than score 33 and be a matador.
i'd add to it that people inside the organization seemed surprised by a) russ and a center not working and b) our defense suffering after moving...
you gotta believe they're waiting until the last second trying to trade baze and/or dj so that they don't have to take the cap hit. but they...
lol houston driving up the non-existent gordon market. he's paid 20 per through next year, and is a 33-year old small scoring guard who's trended...
it's going to be an interesting summer, for sure. i think it's possible to unload russ on orl/det/okc/charlotte. those teams will all have money...

right. same as early in the season, being the only guy playing any defense in the starting unit. you can't have one guy--even if it's...
i'm a little worried the armchair coaches are extrapolating way too much from small samples all around. most lineup combos we're running are bad...
when i heard grant still wanted to be a focal point on offense, i passed. that's obviously not a winning strategy. and if i hear one more person...
The pitchforks have been primed.
when did terrence ross become a defensive-minded wing player? he's a buyout candidate, and that's it. why is utah always trying to get rid of...
yeah, a bunch of us wanted gay, who seemed like a better fit than nunn. i can't believe i didn't realize nunn was a klutch guy. i mean, of...
yeah, didn't see the game, was going to tune in but they were down a billion in the first half, and i figured why bother. there are obviously...
could be a good sixth man...just sayin'.
lol just posted this in another thread. the murder of flexibility was always my concern with a russ trade, as much or moreso than the...
