I wouldn't be on him that much if he didn't play the most important offensive position in basketball. But he does.

He's also more of an undersized 2 than a point. We can more afford to throw a guy like that out there for defense without having to worry about any offensive responsibilities.

I'm not really concerned about the third star. The main thing here is what happens in Fox's absence, exacerbated by having Davion do actual PG duties. As frustrating as Monk can be at times, he's the only other guard who can put leverage on opposing defenses and lead to easy offense for the...

Problem is that typically even a back-up PG worth his salt can create for himself or others. That's literally a point guard's job. That snowballs into Huerter and Murray being ineffective because they're not the shot creators for the starting lineup. They play off Fox and Sabonis, and one of...

Like I said, I'd like to rearrange the bench with a focus on defensive effort by going for Thybulle and Vanderbilt using a combination of 2nds, Davion, Holmes. It's really unfortunate that Davion's a defensive specialist in the least important position and role, ie on-ball hounding of the other...

Gives us room to try Monk at the PG. I know that has problems but the offense can't be worse and the addition of Vandy should stymie the bench defense. Hell, beyond Vandy, I think even Keegan Murray right is more impactful to a team's defense (though Davion is better at what he does on that...

I have to wonder if we can use him in a Vanderbilt package, but this relies on Davion's lottery star still shining. I'm okay with him being a 15 minute backup who's only job is to go and play defense, but Vanderbilt just fills a more important defensive need based on his position.

Beat the Rockets twice or the Pelicans and all is forgiven. My prediction for the road trip was split the Wolves, beat the Spurs, split the Pacers/Pelicans, drop a game you shouldn't to the Rockets and win the other one for a 4-3 trip. Still very much in play.

Without Fox, it was hit or miss. If for example he or Sabonis misses like 10 games as a hypothetical somewhere down the line, all they need to do is hold down the fort for 3-7 or 4-6 during, and not completely collapse like the Suns, Pacers, and Pelicans when their best player went down. The...

It was all downhill post Ja threatening to shoot people on Twitter.

They might out-talent us if we get in a playoff series with them, but I don't think anyone fears them. Wouldn't surprise me to see them flame out again. The Warriors and Clippers I find way scarier in a post-season run, if they can get out of their own way in the regular season.

Grizzlies celebrate their second all-star selection by losing their ass off. They are looking mighty vulnerable lately...

Well, obviously. Putting North-South pressure on the defense to create his own shot is like his biggest weakness. This play in particular was about as slow and predictable as it gets, a shotblocker as good as Street Clothes could've gotten that in his sleep.

Pacers couldn't handle a 2-16 gift from Westbrook. As we've seen by the last 10 games, that supporting cast is rough, and they've played themselves out of the Wemby sweepstakes by this point. Unless they string together a star trade, I'm not liking the new look Pacers for the foreseeable future.

Also over there in the East they're tripping over themselves to nominate Hali and DeRozan. If what we've heard year after year about the team record is true, that should have been Harden and Brunson.

Resigning Bagley for 3/37 to top it all off was even funnier.

Also I'm pretty sure his value is massively depressed right now. Think we might be able to get him without dipping into our Top 8 or any first rounders. Philly's pretty sick of him.

That atrocious fit is never going away. Who does two C lineups in this day and age? KAT comes back and the fit makes them worse by default.

Somebody actually traded for him and gave him a 3 year, 37 million dollar extension. Without being held at gunpoint, no less!

Lolkers.
