    Since the trade Harrell has basically disappeared from the court, he provides so much energy and smarts, that I think we have to find time to get him on the floor, he is like PBev in his intensity and our team needs guys like that.

    I would be in favor of more Harrel and less Dekker/Williams/Anderson these days. Especially if one of them is off....

    I like Harrell a lot, but isn't our offense predicated on having at least 4 outside shooters? if he was a strong defender I could see more of an argument for it.

    This is the DMO thread we deserve right now.

    I thought I just watched the Nene that we needed?

    Thanks.

    Any update on Anderson's back yet? Could be an opportunity for Trez, although he certainly doesn't spread the floor like Rhyno, he does make an impact in other ways.

    True, I am not sure that it matters as players are easily guarding Anderson these days....

    He would've made a big difference tonight. He can get us 10 pts 5 rebs easy on energy alone

    Anderson is vital to our offense. We win that game if we have a healthy Anderson in the 4th.

    We need him back badly. Hope his back tightness is just cramping and not an indication of something worse

    Less Lou Williams? No way you lower Lou Williams minutes more than they are already lowered. That is insane. You need to get the guy balling out of his mind again before the playoffs, which he is capable. Probably our only chance of winning a title.

    Harrell is strictly backup center on b2b games that NeNe rests. That's it. That is and will be his role.

    Come on DD Lou William is just having a chemistry issues right now due to being new on this system. Once he finds his groove back he's gonna help this team going into the playoffs.

    Top 5 scorer in the 4th quarter for the entire season, over a decade of proof.

    Disappointing, "Trumpish" analysis out of you.

    I'm guessing that's the first time "Harrell" and "smarts" have ever appeared in the same sentence.

    Energy? Yes. Smarts? Um...

    Where would you like him to play exactly?

    I love him as much as the next guy, but you can't put him at the 4, which would completely ruin the high pick and roll with Harden and our Center, and if you threw him out there with Ariza at the 4, against LaMarcus and Gasol, we may get ten rebounds the entire game and they'd probably come from Beverley.

    Playing him against smaller teams is fine, and when Anderson isn't injured, but not against a team with two bigs like the Spurs.

    I get it, a lot of people feel cheated tonight. They feel bad for allowing themselves to trust this team and letting themselves become emotionally vulnerable to dissapointing losses like this.

    Give it a lil and itll get better. This game is meaningless for us. We are 3 seed no matter what. We've proven that we can compete with them.

    The only thing that is important about tonight is Andersons back. We need Anderson to be healthy.

    I definitely think he has a high basketball intelligence.

    Bev does, Capela does, Ariza does, Dekker does.
