    You only have to play a little bit of defense to beat the Kings.

    We need to better replace what Batum, Rolo and Mathews gave us on defense period to take the next step....watching CJ guard KD was brutal, watching Dame guard Draymond was as bad.....and Plumlee was on Curry at the key....whew....that's not going to work

    Well, some of it is on NO for buying into the "league is going toward small ball" in as big a way as he did.

    Even so, we do have natural bigs on the roster: Plums, Davis, Vonleh, and Leonard. And NO did go after bigger name C types in the offseason and did sign Ezeli in hopes he'd pan out.

    ...another thread of course!

    That is what the team needs.

    do you think we may need to rework the team since our two best players are scoring guards who play really bad D? I love Dame and CJ but am coming to the opinion that they are likely not the best answer to a winning "team", especially as we are now tapped and capped out money wise and CJ is clearly our only realistic trade chip who could change the complexion of this team in a meaningful way. Risks of course have to be taken, but this team need an overhaul IMO

    Well I don't know what the exact tally is, but the whole signing injured big guys and hoping it pans out hasn't exactly worked for us.
