    I totally agree this is a huge problem (long term), though others might think our current roster is loaded.

    Maybe we want old man Tolliver to start hedging picks? 1M? Or maybe you want Bazemore to do it? I could see Baze pulling it off but he would be the only one.

    They’re killing us from three, we’re killing them in the paint. Threes are worth more than twos, so they’re winning.

    Trent or Simons really need to step up; so far, not.

    So you are saying you absolutely know if Dame didn’t play CJ doesn’t get hurt?
    This is actually my point. Injuries happen.

    You seem to be suggesting that our roster is not made up players who have shown the ability to be able to defend perimeter players with any regularity.

    If Nurkic yelled "TACOS" in the locker room today, C.J. probably doesn't get hurt because his though process timeline would've been changed.

    You can't allow one guy draw the who team in the middle and leaving the players wide open at 3. We so undisciplined this year about that every droping off in the key.

    I'm always amazed that while a game is going on some of you guys can find time to have 15 post arguments

    I must be a really slow typist. I'm a fast drinker though so it evens out

    Could be the case? But of course there are those that want that pick hedged every play. I guess by the players this roster has available?

    Whiteside can hedge... It doesn't take anywhere near as much quickness as people on this forum seem to think.

    Tolliver actually does a decent job of hedging. Whiteside hedged in the 1st game of the season and did so perfectly...

    It's much better than leaving a defender on an island alone with Doncic while also having to navigate a pick and get back in position.

    You don't think that would result in a layup nearly every time?
