we need another shot creator period

we got the right pieces already, we have capable 3 and D players in Reeves, Schroder, Rui, Vando, Walker

we need a go to player during crunch time, you cant have your superstar/number 1 option get outplayed by the opponent team's 2nd best player...IT WILL NEVER WORK


I think he played through injuries, but that only further proves your point, Chefy. If coach has to ride his stars for around 35-40 minutes per game x82 at age 39 in order for us to get into the playoffs via a play-in eliminations game, your point is certainly legit; we need another star.

How about by committee? How about doing it from within? Reaves and Walker are both 20PPG scorers if we let them have the minutes. I see us also adding a 3&D guard with emphasis on D. We also need a C to keep AD healthy. Point being, I don’t think snoring is our problem.

Our defense from the regular season (let’s hide D Lo) doesn’t work in the playoffs against a coach like Malone.

It only took us as far as it did because of AD playing defense good enough for two players.

But I agree we could use a go to. Even that could be by committee. Maybe adding a sniper like Klay Thompson and a Center like BroLo would complete our roster.
