    The eye test says that Green is outplaying Tucker. And that he's been doing so for a a few games now. Why not keep running with him? I don't understand this.

    PJ is way too small to even contest that. A legit big would at least be able to get both hands up

    No replay of the OOB? He didn’t look close to OOB.

    I know but the dude has no chance against him and he is beyond awful on offense. Green is actually making much more sense.

    this is what happens when you completely don't want any centers on your team
    this ain't Tucker's fault

    Well it looks from the stats that Harden is to shoot and Westbrook is to feed the team.

    Good defense by James!

    I've decided to continue to watch this game. I was pissed and didn't watch game 3 or 4. I realize this league is full of bs and at the same time I understand we haven't rose to the occasion ourselves as a team. I'm a still watch my squad's last game. F the Lakers and the NBA after tonight.

    just a thought,

    ego/PJ for LMA

    LMA doesn't have to take all those mid range shots. he's as good of a 3 point shooter as PJ, but can post up when we're cold from 3. he may not guard the perimeter like PJ but he won't get overpowered at the rim and he provides wayyy more skill on offense. SA is rumored to be moving him this offseason, not sure they could do better than 2 solid starters like ego/PJ.

    definitely not his fault...all Tucker can do is make the catch hard and use his body on drives
