nobody else in the starting lineup gets out on the break or brings the consistent energy level like those two, and I think having another guy out there with him who's constantly in motion and hustling all over the court helps Brodie get fired up and focused in a way that none of our other guys can match. Plus Brewer is a good defender with length who understands how to help and is willing to work his ass off on that end of the floor to cover up for Melo and Russ's inconsistent effort, and that unselfishness and hustle is a major boost to the team chemistry.
I wonder if they will keep up with this current pace with Brewer on the floor. Westbrook-Brewer-George currently has a 104.8 pace. The fastest team in the league is the Lakers at 103.2. That lineup also produces 21.8 fast break points and 17.9 points off turnovers per 100 possessions. Westbrook-George-Roberson was at a pace 98.1 pace while producing 18.7 fast break points and 23.1 points off turnovers per 100 possessions.
Honestly tho: If it's not just chucking horrible shots, I'm all for it. This team needs as many easy opportunities as it can get.
