    You didn't read the Canzano article last month?

    Well.... Quick is pretty odd and a drama queen. So yeah it's pretty odd when you think of it.

    IMO, it’s odd that Quick brought it up in his podcast at this time. I mean, not odd in terms of today’s sports “journalism”, where reporters like to kick at stuff and see if they can get some notice. More odd in that the team is doing well, is in 4th place, has a better record than at the same time last year, and has just made two moves to improve their roster, and Quick comes out with a doom and gloom what if scenario. What if they make the WCF? Do NO and Terry suddenly become golden? Seems like an equally valid “what if”.

    It's not one guy. The Pels should have swept us in the regular season (we beat them twice, without Davis). They freaking had our number with the combo of those two defensive guards, and Davis. Just a bad, bad match up. Now, Stotts could have tried some different things too... no pass there. But it was a bad match up.

    You mean the one that had no actual basis in fact?

    No, I didn't, because it was Canzano, and I have standards.

    Yes, his statement was debated and dismissed.

    What are you talking about? Tony Allen played next to Conley, Oladipo played next to Collison, Bradley played with Isaiah Thomas, Holiday played next to Rondo.

    Hell even the PG's like Beverly and CP3 cover SG's and SF's at times. CP3 covered Durant last year in the playoffs and did better than anyone else at it.

    But I still don't like 2 guards below 6'5. That my preference and you might have yours. With the new rules that has took effect on those players too.

    They're not losing in the post-season because they have two small guards...

    Your there was a lot reason why we lost that series. But our 2 guards got out play that series by there guards. But with help of the defense scheme they put on them. Yes CJ had some good games but besides Davis our guards got beat on the defense side. Now our coaching should of made adjustments to beat the scheme and they didn't.

    Duh. I'm pretty sure all of us would agree with this. Quick is lazy.
