what team wouldnt be near or at the bottom if you took away 2 starters indluding the teams leading scorer/assist man, the teams 6th man, and the teams best 3 point shooter?
i dont understand that comment.
We won games last season without Deron, Lopez, KG, etc. Our offense never took a massive nosedive.
This year without Deron and maybe a couple others, we become horrific offensively. We're one Deron injury away from massive obscurity.
The flex system is a free for all offense and even if the quarterback is out, everyone can still score. That's not the case with this group. Only five guys have bought in.
We had a losing record without Deron last year - we grabbed a couple to start the year without him but were awful without him in November though we were struggling overall at the time. He also had one of the best +\- numbers in the league. We all rag on the guy because we traded for him and resigned him to be our franchise player which he's fallen short of doing, but he still has a positive impact when he plays.
The way we're playing with Lopez we'd probably look better without him again this year so I don't understand including him.
We survived KG because Plumlee played well, it's what garnered him 1st team All Rookie. Hes been a big disappointment this year. If we had that Plumlee again we could survive it again
