Could've used him off the bench this series.

I would like to point out that Blake shot a higher percentage from 3 this season than Farmar ever has in his career.

How many years did farmar have in the triagle? Very few players have success in the first year of running the triangle. Blake is no different.

There's the real question: anyone miss Sasha? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

True. Phil is a true PG-killer.

Blake is better as a starter and Fisher is probably best as an assistant coach.

:lol: This. Assuming the next coach runs a more traditional system, it will be interesting to see how well Blake does.

Blake would be an excellent starter as long as he has a backup that can score.

Fisher is better suited to be a backup SG as long as the backup PG is tall.

This is why I'm really feeling the idea of acquiring Brandon Knight to backup Blake next year and to play alongside Fisher off the bench.

Farmar is good, but he was NEVER a good fit. I'd take Blake over him in the current system anyday of the week.
