    Maybe because the Rohypnol hasn't fully taken effect?

    I've said that I want to start a Meyers/Davis front court and bring Plumlee off the bench. I agree he has played well, but I think we'd be better off with my suggested change. I also think CJ should come off the bench once Henderson is back...and maybe even immediately, and give Harkless the interim starting SG spot.
    Vonleh should only be getting spot minutes at this point.

    There is simply no way you can play Harkless ahead of CJ at this point. Henderson when he comes back maybe. Harkless later in the season maybe. But not now. Too early. CJ has earned this chance, and 3 games isn't enough of a chance.

    Fair enough, and good point. Long-term CJ is not a starter (at least not next to Dame). But it would be a total dick move to replace him with Harkless right now.

    Yeah, I don't care who you are, or what someone says, there are egos involved. Managing that is harder than the x's and o's.

    Leonard is in his 4th season. Plumlee is in his 3rd and is already parsecs ahead of Leonard in terms of fundamentals/BBall IQ. Vonleh is in his 2nd year and already shows signs of closing the gap.

    Time to cut bait or fish. Most "project" players never work out and Stotts needs to put the team first.

    Spacing and when he does have an open shot he hesitates.

    Takes notes from Frye - NO hesitation:

    Are you referring to the 3 good games he had in the playoffs, or the 3 out of 3 bad games he's had this season? His fans want to have it both ways--blow up one, be patient on the other, waiting for the Golden Future.

    If your betting on yourself, you better not have a lot of anxiety. Just a thought, Beibs.

    The deadline was 40 minutes ago. Did Leonard get extended?

    Has anyone mentioned the loss of Kim Hughes as a possible cause?

    I'm all for an ED MEYERS FRont court.
