    Back to Kanter... With the forum's affinity for no-D player names, has anyone suggested _enes the Menace as a nickname? It works on many levels.

    Good find, but not nearly as cool as _enes the Menace...because of his no-D.

    There's no D in either Zach or Collins, but pair him with _enes the Menace and there's plenty of D and O in the second unit's front court.

    We might need the Mediocre one to weigh in on this, but I think the way it works is a good defender doesn't need a "D" in their name?

    Sounds like a reasonable interpretation. I guess if you're in the NBA and you have a "D" in your name, you'd better live up to it.

    You'll notice that it's the last letter in his last name. Shows its relative importance to him.

    Kanter not going to Toronto for that game. Doesn't want to leave the US.

    Kanter gets a LOT of offensive rebounds, which is obviously why the OP thinks of him as the "Garbage Man!"

    Once again we won the game, but once again our starting five had very good plus-minus numbers and the bench, like in every game since Kanter replaced Zach and Meyers and since Turner's injury, the bench players were all in minuses.
    This has become a trend and for us to go as far as we can we need to fix this. Collins and Meyers earned minutes, Kanter even in his best performances I don't think once had a positive plus-minus. We can still win and the starting five is clicking but we're not as dominant as we could be

    Hmmm, the team has won 5 straight with 4 wins on the road and 4 wins against playoff teams, what thread should I make?

    Oh I know, I should make another conplaining thread that's bench-related!
