The so called Two-way-player Dion Waiters has a lower eFG% than Andre Roberson (at least 4 ft from the distance). That's good for 238th in the league. Kyle Singler is even worse btw.

Maybe we should get guys that can actually shoot the ball.

I don't know if anyone's calling him "2 way" anymore, at some point the fan base seems to have finally come to its senses lol.

Well that was the only excuse for him being out there.

Dion's only "excuse" for being in the rotation is that he is our best ball handler/shot creator outside of Westbrook, Durant, and now Payne. Dion is the only one outside of Westbrook and Durant that can do that and be a big body when defending the 1 or 2.

Russell loses his man almost everytime he has to guard in a PnR and that puts us into a bad situation every time. That's worse than Kanter giving up 2-3 buckets per game.

I really don't understand why you're still hung up on Russ bring a bad defender. I'm not seeing it and
The stats don't back it up.

sadly, Morrow and Augustin are just as good at creating. Dion just does it more despite sucking.

Apparently there was no foul on that play.

PAYNE

Cam is balling the **** out. He has been awesome on both ends, the only bad play was overplaying Chalmers when he ducked back into the lane for that open layup. Great pressure on ball, fighting through every screen, knocking down open shots, spreading the ball around, everything you want from a point guard. God, I love this kid!

Durant had an awful quarter and it had very little to do with Tony Allen's defense. Of the seven shots he missed, three or four of them were wide-ope jumpers and a few others were chippies. I thought he got fouled on that drive at the end of the quarter, but the refs are letting them play tonight (so far) so I won't complain too much.

Good ole Hubie exaggerating heights. He's already called Kobe "legitimately" 6'7" and now Russ is 6'4" or 6'5".

What a flop by Gasol.

The way Russ is controlling this game is amazing to witness

KD35Brah · Post #1495 » by **KD35Brah** » Thu Jan 7, 2016 3:59 am

Give up an and1 to Tony Allen...

WHY DO WE PLAY HIM TiGHT EVERY GAME, LET HIM SHOOT

I hate Marc Gasol. He flops and exaggerates contact to the most BS fouls against us.

Our defense hasn't been anything special if you're actually watching the game. Memphis has missed a ton of wide-open threes and quite a few shots in the lane.
