    Toronto has their best player at our weakest position...Demar Derozan is a bit better than Evan Turner

    Demar is a shooting guard.

    Toronto only a game behind the Celtics in the standings. Could this be Toronto's year? They're playing great. They lost to Warriors twice but both games were very close. I could get behind a Toronto title run if we're eliminated. They're an underdog with a real chance. NO ONE is talking about them as a contender.

    Why does Miami have a better record than ours?

    Starting SG: a #40 draft pick
    Starting SF: undrafted, 6-7 only 200 pounds

    This is what I mean when I say, it'd be easy for Olshey to get a shooting, dribbling SF if he'd sacrifice size. There are mediocre 6-6 SGs who'd be much better at SF, if teammates could cover on defense.

    Well there it is. Pencil them in.

    My favorite line is "IF we're eliminated "
