all true but (working backwards) NB isn't in top shape, I'm presuming Bayless is hobbled, and Miller is slower then Blake and a worse option guarding the guy who makes them go. no doubt STOMP
If either could hit from long range you might have a point, but neither can, and Blake is a smarter defender than either also.
Blake, then Rudy, then Bayless, then Roy, then Martell............................and if no other option, Miller.
Yep, cause that's all that is imprtant. Bayless shoots better from the field, line and draws more fouls. Last year, Batums numbers were better than Blake's this year as well from those areas. And you are really saying that Blake is a smarter defender than Batum?
Doesn't really matter who starts. All we have to do is hang with them til late in the 3rd quarter when CP3 gets hurt, then we'll go on to win easily.
