That whole possession was Duhon's fault. First he needs a shield(BBD) to dribble the ball up court. Then his first pass comes at 13 secs. It all goes downhill from there....

Stan may have said that but there is also other aspects of the game. Suddenly Ish is the fans new why we don't play him guy. Perhaps the Jeremy Lin story helps the cause. Reality is Smith is a barely in the league player. He has almost no history in the league. The minutes he has played in his career he has not been very good. Suddenly Stan suppose to play him rotation minutes because he can get the ball up the court. In reality wouldn't it be fair to say outside of that Duhon is better than him in just about every skill. So if that is the best option Stan pretty much forced to keep playing Ish. Just hope a professional PG can get the ball up the court.

Better Basketball with JJ Redick.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Duhon is a great example of why the owners failed this lockout by not implementing unguaranteed contracts. He plays like he could give a @#$% because he knows he's getting paid regardless.

Kevaroo- I think you are vastly overrating the skills needed to run the Orlando 2nd unit. Vastly. Bring the ball up the court and run the set. Get past full court press if there. Move around. Don't turn the ball over. Sit on the bench and drink Gatorade.
