    Jazz power forward sucks. We should start melo and move tucker to small foward.

    I don't understand why everyone is worried about who starts at Power Forward and Small Forward. I thought the entire thought process of positionless basketball was not to look at positions. The 3/4 play the same role in our offense so that side of the ball doesn't matter who the 3/4 is. On defense we switch everything so it really doesn't matter on that end of the court as we usually end up with our point guard guarding thier center. If a team wants to isolate Melo on someone or Harden on someone it doesn't matter they will find them regardless of what "position" they are in since we switch every screen.

    Start Green over MCW next game but keep EGo in starting lineup when CP3 returns.

    Echoing the sentiments of others.... Yea, MCW has been under-whelming at best.

    D’antoni himself seems to care...he specifically pointed out that he views both Tucker and Melo as 4’s

    Bullard just said it best, MCW can't be on the floor at the same time as Capela, or any other poor shooter for that matter. We can only afford to have one trashboi on the floor at once

    It's just sad MCW hasn't developed a jump shot. Shoot, lonzo ball is shooting 42% from 3 this year .
