This.

David Blatt is a damn fine coach. Look at the change that guy has managed in a half season and look where his team is now.

That's on interpretation. The distance between teaching someone how to run and having the athleticism of an elite NBA big man is quite big. I...

You're taking it too defensively. I said he's very good, what do people think he's going to be? Very good in the NBA is hardly "rough". He does work...

Exactly. We are sometimes close to the 2nd and 3rd bigs but that's the entire point. We HAVE the complementary talent, but we lack the elite talent...

You flatter me that it matters so much to try to prove me wrong all the time. ;) I addressed the partner issue you're attempting. So did mike.

You seem to be ignoring the point. That's ok too.

Huh? I'm not doing that at all. I pointed out that no championship has been won with a front court "worse than ours". At least one of the two has...

Bingo. And all of them athletic. Especially the underestimated Bosh, who was a great third option. You can't gain athleticism or teach it. That's the...

Let's talk about that. I have: Bosh Duncan KG Pau Gasol Dirk Chandler

At full health that's not a contending front court. Amir's ankles are chronically bad so health isn't going to improve anyway. JV might improve but...

Your post was more general so I was responding in general terms, not talking about this trade. Yes, the trade won't kill us. It's an incremental...

If so, JV still isn't Dirk. Few are, sure, but you can see that Casey is forced to pretend that b grade parts can produce a grade results with the...

I know, we can see that their points come off put backs, etc. The unsaid in my remark was that we might have less wins, which is why I understand...

We use our guard scoring as a crutch, and as we've seen, their shooting isn't reliable enough for that. I agree we need talent and have said so...

Doubt away but neither is a one-dimensional offence-only team. They have a decent chance.

It's a sensible temp move. The ultimate solution is diversity and roster balance. IMHO the coaches have to keep going inside so defences have to deal...

If he's running a DDM set it does. These aren't necessarily PnRs. Hard to tell since they're so poorly executed.

Freakazoid made an interesting point about JV being used just like Chandler. That's why I've been a strong advocate for a huge upgrade at the 4 for...

Did anyone ever suggest we should choose one or the other?

No need to choose. The best teams all do both. Intelligent ball movement facilitates that.

I'd ride what we have, maybe move one of the guards. I don't see how swapping backups is going to solve the problems we have with our starters.

Backups are not our problem.

No quick fixes is all I ask. Don't gamble the future for limited post season success this year. That's a recipe for stagnation in a few years.

Can't really disagree with any of that. The whole coaching staff needs to shake their heads and ask themselves why they're basically wasting the...

Agreed. If MU likes to assess, it's essential that he sees the roster struggle. He needs to honestly gauge the work he still has to do. Ugly wins...

Phenomenal. I'd love to see a Hawks-Warriors Final.

We the Fourth. They're simply me-ball comebacks that have succeeded.
