    So Dodo is definitely going for minutes against Tari and Bari.

    Dude isn't a GM ......you see that with the imbalance of wings, the most midget guards and tons of Centers.

    And he can't directly call up GMs to consolidate, he has to go thru Stone and Fertitta, an unnecessary indirect route.

    Just wait and see if he runs KD into the ground.

    Must be a perk for outgoing players since they no longer have to live in Oklahoma.

    I wouldn't mind starting Finney Smith and playing him in closing minutes for now as long as the young guys get slightly more play time than him.

    I like Smith, but he lacks ball handling skills and we are VERY short on ball handling players......KD is too old to bring it up, FVV is too slow and Amen is still learning.......as is Reed.

    If teams want to beat us, pressure the ball - we don't have a guy that is elite at it....and can beat his man off the dribble, that is our biggest weakness still.....

    Unless Reed and Amen got a lot lot better it will hold us back.
