    Dragic is an all star no doubt. But that's my only idea and option, is someone like George or Igudala. Long athletic wings that can give a smaller player like Dragic little room to shoot over

    I only start throwing around the term "LOF" when they start putting down other players on the team to defend him.

    I hope Morey is watching, and suffering for his choices

    Or has a good game:confused: I don't understand your point? It's been shown statistically that Lin doesn't deviate as much from his mean to a point where it is enough to criticize him relative to other players.

    No, Harden played with Westbrook on the court plenty of times. In fact Harden and Westbrook would always end games along with Durant on the court as well.

    There seems to be this misconception that Harden can't operate without the ball. He's a shooter and playmaker, of course he can. Both Harden AND Dragic would get open looks off of each other.

    I get that but I am just saying that the example you gave (Paul George) was torched by Dragic when they actually met.

    For some reason, people on this message board do not understand the concept of a good offensive set trumping good defense. It happens.

    Dragic would actually be the point. That would be the difference. I know McHale respects Dragic's game. as does everyone in the NBA now.

    Mchale needs to have these guys switching back to the guy they are suppose to be holding imo. Lin has trouble fighting through screens though but I can accept that he's not going to be strong in that area.

    He had some kind of chest bruise... Lin should just take up Van Damme kick boxing and have Coconuts dropped on his body to toughen it up...

    It's important that we ended up on top at half. I (hope) don't think the Suns will have that sort of run again. It wasn't only Dragic, both Morris really got the run started. If we can keep them at arms reach, we are good.

    I hope Hamilton gets time. Casspi shouldn't be out there at any time in the second half. Hamilton should get time by default.

    First of all, that was a team loss. Second, the only reason it even got to game 6 was because Westbrook was out.

    I have to say, it's rare to see a player improve this much from season to season - Dragic has become an impressive player for sure. Ok, enough with the compliments, let's blow them out in the 2nd half!

    Gee, can we sign the Blacktop Battle winners? We need someone, anyone hit an outside shot.
