    Funny, we've got the best three point shooter/3pm, in the league now and many dont like his D.
    Roco is one of the best at getting hands on the ball and is second in the league at steals/4 position in many dont like his offense.

    Okay, just one more: Do you always fall for it when someone is jerking your chain?

    he had better synergy with both Matthews and Aldridge. It takes some significant playing time together to build that synergy, IMO. Dame and CJ are in their 6th season together and they don't fit as well as Dame and Matthews did by the end of Dame's rookie season. Or Dame and Aldridge for that matter.

    in other words, I'm not suggesting the better fit is already on the team. That's why change is needed. Dame and CJ are way too redundant in styles and flaws

    they were also 7-5 this season; have only averaged 45 wins in 5 seasons together; and have a 14-26 record in the playoffs. That's like NOT the best backcourt synergy ever

    edit: by the way, this year and last, in the 7 games CJ has been injured, Dame has averaged 41 pts; 5 rebs; 8 asts. He also shot 44-92 on three's...that's 48% on 13 three's a game

    He almost ruined the Bulls franchise and lost the Minnesota team as well....yeah...he's the best defensive coordinator in the game but that's not head coaching....he'll look great until their first major losing streak

    That's what I was trying to say yesterday; you said it better. And isn't this basic stuff that is taught in high school?

    I tagged you because I wanted to confirm.

    The other night, you didn't think Boston losing the Knicks by 30 the other night was a big deal because of the Knicks great defense. I assumed that meant you would be happy with this win, but I asked, and I appear to be wrong!

    Apparently franchises around the league disagree. He has his flaws but he's worlds better than Terry Stotts and his record and commodity prove it.

    Yes it is but really depends on there individual coach I have a lot bad high school coaches. Not saying any of these players had bad coaches but majority of breaking a trap is taught at that level.
