if tristan thomp can continue to play out on switches and draymond green continues to forget how to shoot, i think Lue can devise a good defensive scheme. too bad KD and Curry have that ability to hit those hero shots
Seems the Lakers and Jazz upped Clarkson and Hood's trade value before trading them away by giving them ball in their hands. Evidently both were putting up some big numbers. But neither Lakers nor Jazz are not missing their blown up raw numbers at all due to their high usage and low efficiency flaw. It sucks JR Smith and Jeff Green are still the guys to go with.
I was expecting Nance to be better than this indeed in the playoffs. But again, Thompson is a guy to go with. LoLz
But Hill is alright, not good but bearable. Verdict tough is he is an aging point guard with declining game.
That said, I dont believe having Wade or Isaiah would have been better, perhaps slightly but definitely not by much. Rose is garbage too, no real loss there either. That makes deadline trade more about Jae Crowder for George Hill deal. Sad..
