    If we make our offense more complicated and put defense first then yes, but it probably won’t be this year.

    Offensively it takes time for not just those guys to gell, but the rest as well. Since next year will be tough with Ariza, Mbah, Capela and CP3’s contracts I think we probably won’t see this duo’s full potential. If we are lucky and we incorporate more screens, body and ball movement then it could be done,

    BUT defense has to be priority! That hasn’t been the case and I fear with our limited skilled defenders starting with Harden and Ryno that we will always simply focus on outshooting teams. We have to feed off of us getting stops, not let our energy depend on whether we make or miss. Transition defense and how bad we are at it is one of the most important signs of this. Maybe with CP3, Mbah and PJ we can turn it around. One can hope :)

    And he's a college graduate! How do these guys graduate from College??

    Iverson went to Georgtown and he sounds like he just came out of San Quentin.

    Yes, but James has to let Chris run more of the offense than him. James has way too many dumb turnovers.
