Teffer, I agree with a lot of what you're saying about our over reliance on Terry, just not to the extent that we need to make him a <30 mpg backup. If Howard could get over his 2nd half mental block, or we upgraded him to a real 2nd option, I think we would be fine with Terry as our 3rd scoring option.

A few years ago when Terry was in his prime and the west only had 3 legit contenders I was somewhat okay with Terry as our 3rd option. I'm not so comfortable with him in that position now.

I'm pretty well convinced that even if Dirk/Kidd/Howard/and Terry all play at high levels, we still won't be good enough to win it all.

A few years ago Terry was the 2nd scoring option. Howard hasn't become the 2nd until 1-2 years ago.

I agree. Age, confidence, and mismatched position. This team has become the Kings and Utah of the recent past
