    When Draymond comes flying down the floor and crashes into ML how is that not an offensive foul on Draymond...?

    I'll say this about Aminu. He's probably cost himself about 20 million in the last two playoff series.

    Stotts is really just going to ride this team to the ground with Aminu. Played 8 minutes and was terrible.

    Play Hood instead of Aminu... It'd make us better DEFENSIVELY. FFS Terry.

    He averaged 11 minutes, 3 points, and 3 rebound per game. He's an undersized big that doesn't handle the ball or shoot 3s.

    He might be not playing good defensive but the other players not playing defense neither. Leonard is keeping us in the game with his shooting though.

    Lately Collins has not been a viable alternative. What's your suggestion?

    What?

    He's been much better than Aminu the last two rounds.

    I know you mentioned this, but Harkless and Aminu are supposedly out there as defenders, but they arent playing good defense so why are they out there?

    I don’t get why we can’t stop Dray in transition, get in fucking front of him and make him switch direction at least. He’s just running full speed straight down the fucking floor.

    He at least challenges shots in the paint on defense. Aminu is invisible.

    Those were never his skill set. It was his ability to switch multiple positions on D and catch and finish near the rim.

    Neither of our starting forwards are nba starting caliber. I don’t care what anyone on this board says, they are bench guys.

    Exactly, he's a very limited player who barely plays. A scrub.
