    I would argue that the NBA has changed pretty drastically even in the two years since our WCF run. His defensive scheme doesn't work anymore and it gets worse every year.

    Alright, who are the two hyper-optimists that say that Stotts is still going to remain in the starting lineup after DJJ is back.

    Those are 2 really ballsy votes!

    Is it possible that Little is better than DJJ? At least in our offense?

    Little can hit a three. Jones...... cannot.

    Yeah, if you aren't good at standing in the corner and hitting threes in this offense there aren't many opportunities for you to score. That being said as much as I like Nas's potential on D, Jones is worlds ahead of him on that end of the floor... plus Jones is getting paid money that has earned him minutes or some stupid ass shit that Stotts would say.

    You might be right, but if we're saying it's a new NBA in the last season and a half, then it would be tough to say how successful we would be, given we haven't had anything close to a full roster in that small window.

    lol.
    The poll is about what the coach will do, not what "should" happen.

    He has been remarkably healthy since dawning the Piss and Purple. I wonder when he will roll an ankle?

    Yes, it is possible. He will be the starting SF at some point.
    I do enjoy watching Jones's high-flying dunks though.

    I believe that. I was referring to overall trend line, but I can't say I've seen a big jump this year.
