You know, I'm apparently one of the minority here who likes Thompson but, if there's only going to be one starter on the court, I'd really rather it wasn't him.
So much for the motion offense. Except for maybe one possession, it's been one-pass-iso, or no-pass-iso. I think Malone may have just said, screw it, and jettisoned the motion offense.
I believe word is that Williams had banged a knee or something and was available, so it could be an injury thing rather than a rotation thing. I hope it's a rotation thing.
