Does the recent win streak suggest?

    All the win streak suggests to me is that we were not as bad as 2-16 would have indicated.

    If we beat the Nets tonight, maybe it means more.

    Agreed. We should trade him for Ja Morant since the Grizzlies are 5-0 since he went down, so they're probably better off without him, too. :D

    I'm not disingenuous at all..... and I see you had no response to what I actually said.

    1) 2-big lineup was dumb

    2) Jalen Green over Mobley looking dicey

    It suggests we trade either wood or green soon

    Here's why,, clearly we are a better team without green. We are also a better team without the two big lineup. Sengun could be rookie of the year if he was starting. But besides that I think he should start

    We know the coaches have an absolute love affair with Tate and Porter and Mathews

    There are the two lineups I propose and either one you choose means we have to trade wood or green. Because I believe Garrison is better than Green so he should start.

    Porter
    Green
    Bird
    Tate
    Wood

    Problem with this is that sengun doesn't get enough minutes or start

    Porter
    Bird
    Tate
    Sengun
    Wood

    With this lineup you have now traded green because Green will not come off the bench happy

    The other option would be to bench Tate or bird but then we go back to inefficiency for shooting lack of Defense Etc

    I'm not against starting green when he comes back from injury but I just have a bad feeling people on here or going to see a big difference between him starting and bird starting. you have to understand not only is bird a much better outside shooter and spacer than green, his defense is 10 times better than Green

    So basically Green would have to go out and drop a very efficient 30 points per game for me to say he's better than bird because he sucks at defense

    The final line-up I propose is probably what they will do they will trade wood

    Porter
    Green
    Bird
    Tate
    Sengun

    I'm not going to lie that probably would be the funnest lineup to watch

    i am on bandwagon of trading green...get something decent for him...top picks or a near all star player or 2 really great 3 point shooters...wood i would keep, too rare and precious of a player...

    look at the golden state last year, didnt even make the playoffs... this year, same roster the best team...

    standings is never showing the real thing...otherwise there will be just one nba season and that would be it....

    I was talking about last year after the Harden trade. No way were we a contender. But people got excited after the 6-game winning streak, just like now.
