Thinking about the rotation and depth chart

How are we going to be tough on defense when Favors can barely stay on the court? Burke isn't exactly a good defender, Hayward does a good job, Rush will hopefully do good, but a lot of that depends on how he recovers from his injury. Kanter is a good post defender, but is average on help defense and doesn't move laterally that well.

I think people are overstating how good our young core is. Yes, they have a lot of potential, but it has yet to be realized. They will struggle.

And yes, your bench does win games in the NBA. Every single team that does well in the playoffs has a good bench. Every single one.

Hantlers continues to be under appreciated by the board. He has good takes and states them in such a was a kindergartner could understand.

So you're saying that you'd rather have Al clogging, er, matadoring up the middle than Favors?

You don't think Favors will figure out the foul rate thing? You don't think Gobert and Jeremy are an upgrade? Just the addition by substraction Al represents punches it way up.

And Hayward is not just a good defender, he's a superior one, and Burke will be no worse than Mo who didn't show much interest in it.



Well then, let's just play our best players off the bench and we're golden.

Good grief. Where on Earth did you get that from what I said? Of course I would rather have Favors starting over Jefferson. Actually, the ideal situation would be Favors starting and Jefferson coming off of the bench to provide scoring. And no, I don't think Gobert and Evans are an upgrade over Jeff and Millsap. Anybody who thinks they are is insane. And by calling Hayward a superior defender, you're essentially calling him an elite defender, and he is not. He's a good defender. And trust me, it's a compliment.

No I didn't. He was refuting we'd be better at defense this year.

My posts from the FIRST POST agreed that our bench was worse.

I never said we wouldn't be better at defense, I just don't think we'll be great at defense. There's a significant difference between the two. And our bench is not just worse, our bench is putrid. Andris Biedrins, Jeremy Evans, and John Lucas III are 3 of our primary backups. That's astoundingly terrible.

I have to state them in a way that kindergartner could understand...I mean, have you seen half the people on this board? My goodness.
 
The question is, will anybody have a worse bench than the Jazz? Get excited for this late 3rd quarter lineup:

European journeyman pg
Undrafted rookie sg
Stopped caring about basketball 2 years ago sf

Andris Biedrins lololololololol

When did John Lucas become European?

I like to think it's because we're very similar people.

I don't know whether 'very' fits perfectly.. but we are both Christians. Neither of us do a good job demonstrating that here. I grew up on a big farm. We both think Cy is dumb as a box of rocks. We both HATE your avatar.

No ****!!!???! You're a member of the Pride? I am loving the Pride right now... because of all their fantastic investigative work into their tarheel POS's.

Hahaha that was so amazing. Besides a championship isn't that a fan's dream scenario? Hopefully they're still digging.

NC is great. Highly recommended. Beaches to the east, mountains to the west. Can't beat it.
