    The more shooters, the more space. The less shooters, the less space.

    I have no idea why we continue to trot out lineups with Brewer, TJones and Dwight/Capela. It kills spacing and makes Harden one dimensional (a shooter).

    No lineup should ever have less than 3 shooters, and most should have 4.

    Amen, and movement off the ball.

    I have to think Bickerstaff knows this if he can't get the main guys to do this then they need to sit their ass on the bench.

    I'm curious why they don't try out DMo's improved corner 3

    It's complicated because we have no shooters

    And the shooters we have in Terry and Thornton are piss poor defenders

    Add Harden who is another horrible defender and it's free reign

    This is on Maury for not getting the shooters needed

    When Harden plays this bad, it doesn't matter

    Take the ball out of his hands then....consequences when he doesn't engage.

    Be kind in public but bench his ass when he is not playing hard.

    Harden makes Harden a 1-dimensional bricker, not anything else.

    Watch these terrible shooters become good again once they leave this offense, and the good shooters you bring in become terrible.

    Sometimes it's not that complicated, but that same dude didn't know what he was talking about either.

    im ok with two paint cloggers but 3 is too much. the 'stretch 4 or bust' is crap, you dont alway sneed your 4 to hit threes unless your team sucks
