Kawhi shooting 0% when defended by Pickett.

Coincidence?

Probably.

Good call. But I’d pull Bogdanovic

Murray stinks when he's doubled or defended with no space. He starts brain farting all over the place.

Baylor was trash but I never know how much Sterling is to blame. Hard to win with an owner who flat out wants to keep spending at league minimum.


I mean, I agree. But at the same time, Baylor seemed content to just get paid to do nothing.

Dun got Sterling to spend.


I don't disagree there. Baylor, who was terrible, lasted in part because Sterling didn't even care to spend money for a real gm.

I hate Dolan but I'll contrast him with Sterling here. Isiah lasted so long in NY because Dolan irrationally loved the guy, and Isiah played him like a mark.

But it wasn't cheapness. Dolan did (does) want a good team. He's just a fool.

Zu is a freaking two way beast man. Jokic literally won’t go at him without calling for a switch

Dunn had his back back to Murray, and still was able to play great D.
