Which is why I think he should start IMO. Sure he would help the 2nd team as well but I think he fits well with the other 4 projected starters. I would bring RoCo in off the bench
I really liked the passing between Nance and Nurkic. The offense flowed so well and it would even better without two literal non-factors at the wings (Elleby and Blevgod). I don't want to bench RoCo though. That seems like a mistake. Either Powell or CJ would make more sense, but it would never happen.
Yeah but neither Nance or RoCo are huge scoring threats. I don't want both in there together except at the end of games for defensive purposes. But like you allude to, Dame, CJ, and Norm all seem destined to all start regardless if we like it or not. So the question is who fits best with those three? And I think it is Nance over RoCo because of his passing.
Sorry bro, I’d take the leading rebounder and shot blocker in the entire league over whatever Nance is going to give us. Thats just @THE HCP though.
I don't think it's a coincidence that our worst season since Dame's rookie year featured Whiteside at center.
i saw him literally push hassan into place after screens and scream at him to sprint cuz the dude was so lazy. highly doubt your stance here. Whiteside ending up with 2 minimum contracts after his career year here shows me exactly what the league thinks of him
he posted stories of his "highlights" on instagram last night. one was his announcement on the starting lineup. the other was the jump ball. then him high-fiving an assistant while coming to the bench for a timeout. i think he's oblivious to the vitriol. a part of me feels bad for him. then i realize he's making almost a mil this year to play ball.
There are two sides to the ball. It's like you can't see what's happening right in front of you. Well, that's what Mrs. HCP tells me....
Never argued or questioned this. I’m saying Dame would LOVE to have Whiteside on our roster. He’d be the best backup in the game.
Nance's passing is stellar. So...play him with the guys who dominate the ball so he'll never get to touch it? Lillard/CJ/Nance/Nurk shouldn't be in at this same time (unless end of game) because it would leave the other lineups devoid of ball handling/playmaking. I do think it makes sense to run Nance/Nurkic at times when Dame/CJ are both on the bench and do some high-lo action like last night with Powell and Simons.
