At what point do you make up for it versus Wade and Bron both? He's played the most minutes in the league which is a fact, at 34, and guys like Melo/KD/Bron/Wade are all younger and have been rested more
Nash can't run the O here. That his fault?
Dwight can't be a primary post scorer. That his fault?
Metta can't make open 3s from doubles he draws. That's his fault?
At 34, I don't see it. He has to be the post scorer, the playmaker, the guy to draw the fouls, the guy who rebounds, and who gives spacing as well. At some point we need to look and ask why the hell is Kobe still having to do it all for the perimeter and this team at 34 and has he been charged to adapt and figure out how to cover every hole for inept perimeter play? I mean Fisher and Fox were more competent and consistent day to day than Metta is with his shooting or Nash is with dictating pace. In fact Kobe's nest perimeter help he's had came at 18 with Eddie and Nick that's the FO fault, as the best perimeter guy we've had nightly outside him over the past decade was a PF named Odom.
I still believe we can make the playoffs but don't get it twisted when I say if Detroit and Dallas came calling I'd ship Metta out for Marion and Nash out for Jose without batting an eye as its an overall improvement on D, the glass, penetration.
I'd still say hey we came back with a winning record this trip, that's a plus. Take care of our **** from here on out and we can get the 7 spot or 8. GET to the dance, DO DAMAGE!
