I don't give a **** if he sits in a chair, pretending he's an New Delhi snake charmer. It's not like any one else on our team can make a basket, so our only chance is to play lock-down defense. He's also averaging 1.9 TO's per 36 right now.

Dropped passes don't count as a TO for the player who dropped the pass.......
 
Hey were weren't down by 20 this game. Had a good start. It's a road game, every road game will be hard for us. We were still in it for until about the middle of the fourth quarter. Yeah we probably should have won... but at least it wasn't a blow out.

Cool, what's your answer to my other sentiment?

Kanter and Favors are both scoring pretty well this season and shoot above 50% and those shots don't include all dunks and they can catch, and hold onto, a basketball.

Yeah, a lot of it was just us not making shots. I thought we played well for the most part.

Most frustrating part was the perimeter defense. Burks and Burke are just so bad defensively. Frustrating to see how easily/quicklu they breakdown defensively. Burks especially. He can play really good D for a few seconds, then loses all focus and just gets burnt or gets caught on a screen.

Yep, totally agree. Burks was going under screens while guarding Stauskas... smh

I wonder what he would be like with one other even really competent player on his team

Hed be really good. He wouldnt have to be the man, and could be the great complementary player he is. We are screwed with him as our number 1, and no one on else stepping up.

Hayward is a great player. But he will never be the #1 guy on a successful team.

Disagree. He just needs a #2 (and #3-5) who can be more consistent. No one is showing up to every game right now besides Hayward. I think Burks was starting to get it going, but who knows with this shoulder thing. Also maybe if Hayward had a better defense he could be a #1 option. Paul George is a #1 option on a great team despite not being the best individual offensive player because his team's defense is so good so he doesn't have to be a maniac every game to win.

Hayward has to play lights out every game for us to have a chance to win, especially if Favors is coasting through a game.

Hayward is a number 1. It's too bad we don't have a #2 or even a #3 right now.

Burks playing like a 4th option most of the season and Favors fades in and out of being an option at all.

Kanter and Burke can score and playmake but our huge defensive liabilities (Kanter has gotten better though).

Don't think favors really understands how good he could be .. if he only had a brain

He gets down on himself really easily. If a call doesn't go his way, or he starts missing some easy shots he gets down. Then he kind of fades away. Seems like if he doesn't get going early, he doesn't get going at all.
