    Durant off the bench? That's bold.

    I got nothing to say, but if you're looking for someone to Like, you can Like me.

    I should have posted something about Alexander and Montero lately. I've been ignoring those two.

    I was thinking Alexander, Montero, and Connaughton. But ok.

    Why don't we just let Stotts fix the problem (if there is one that needs fixed) and just sit back and relax.

    We'd be firing on all cylynders.
    We would Have CJ play exclusively at SG, have a backup SG, have a very good rotation at SF with Henderson, Crabbe, Harkless. We'd have inside scoring with Alexander which is something we lack, Davis and Aminu would still get minutes depending on matchups. Vonleh is more of a Center than a PF and Meyers could still play only 20+ minutes but I think he's our best option at PF and should start. We would be able to have both CJ and Dame on the bench at the same time and still be competitive. This means they'd have more minutes on the floor together. Our 2nd unit could be strong enough in the backcourt with Roberts, Montero and Crabbe (for example) and our starting lineup is probably our best lineup at least offensively.
    So yes, I think that's what we need. This could be like when Maresse Speights got injured for GS and Festus Ezeli made the rotation before last year's playoffs.
    We need this boost, get all our weapons in sync before the playoffs and hit it in stride

    Well, you elaborated.

    Too bad it still sounds as worse as I thought.

    Alexander and Montero finally getting minutes in a playoff push/playoffs?

    Never.

    If we're trying to give up 150 points a game then ya, that'd be a strong backcourt.

    I don't know if that's a poor defensive rotation and anyway they would only be our 2nd unit. We could also play Roberts, CJ, Crabbe or with Henderson, or Damian, Montero, Henderson, there could be different match-ups. If we play none of our starters then yes, I think Roberts, Montero, Crabbe is effective enough

    Roberts is one of if not the worst defensive PG in the league. The advanced stats say so. Montero hasn't guarded anyone above the JC level until this year. Crabbe is an average defender and he fouls lot, especially against bigger players (SFs).

    I like Blazer4Ever, he's the type of guy that'd say I'm gonna make it to the league someday and actually mean it.

    He's the type of guy who says that Tim Frazier should be starting, and actually mean it.
