This team goes as Kemba goes.

Not disagreeing with that, but he's not playing the huge minutes that he has at other times.

My point has nothing to do with Kemba's importance to this team.

Kemba averages 33.8 MPG, which is 28th among starting guards.

I'm one to believe that we've loss at least 3-5 games because Kemba sat longer than we could stand Sessions.

Real argument to be made there, except for last night when played 42 minutes and was, um, not great.

On the other hand, I'm a big proponent of trying to protect Kemba a bit, we can't afford to run him into the ground every season and those knee flair ups have me worried.

Brandon Knight would be a savior for this team. He's far from a perfect player, but he can be a poor man's Kemba off the bench, and then slide over to the 2 as a spot up shooter and secondary ball-handler when Kemba plays without Nic. We just need a scorer at that position.

He is pricey but the Suns are committed to Bledsoe and Booker and I think he could be had for Hawes+Sessions straight up (for the Suns to offload salary), freeing us to spend a 1st on an NBA caliber center.

This team and the knicks man dont deserve nice things.

When will they learn to give the ball to hibbert when a POINTGUARD is guarding him in the paint.
They didn't even looked at hibbert once and we ended up with a long fadeaway 2...

So that's what a team with proper bigs looks like...
