They can create easy offense even with their bench.
This team will be super tough when they found a real franchise player.

Coaching is a big part of it.

Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley are two of the best if not best defensive guards in the NBA. Just a handful.

TJ Warren: 3rd in scoring this game - 9th in minutes.

Knight is a good player, a nice complementary stud if he's playing alongside an alpha to take the primary focus off him.

Problem is, we don't have anyone like that right now, so he's attracting alpha-attention and he's not that level of player. So he's struggling. If he gets traded to a team with an alpha, I bet his performance (and value) will greatly improve.

In other news... Allowing 110 points with over 6 mins to go in the game. Time to lock in a capable defensive assistant coach.

Last year's trades look worse than I ever imagined now.

Edit*
Well not the Dragic trade. That might look really good in a few years. But the Knight trade is a disaster. And Thomas for a late draft pick was a great trade for Boston. I still do not like him though.

I heard he doesn't like playing with Bledsoe because he doesn't want to play with another PG. This coming from a guy who doesn't have a clue on how to play that position. I hope the Suns trade his arse in the off season.

I hope they trade him sooner than that. He stunts the growth of every young player on the team. They need to get rid of him now so the team can develop properly.

He does seem to do better in spurts. He was slumping some as a starter. Hopefully he can perform well as a starter soon.

True, when McD handed him that, and with Bledsoe down, that is a lose lose situation.

i hate knight too, but if we're going to bottom out there is no one more qualified to steer this tank then BK.

“I have the ball in my hands a little bit more,” he said. “But like I have been saying continuously, I have been doing that my entire career. It’s a position I am used to playing, what I normally do. My role now is having the ball more than I have this season, but I have done it before.”

That was a quote from an article written today. Maybe somebody needs to explain to Brandon Knight what the "point guard" position is because he obviously has no idea. And if anybody says he is a shooting guard, they are kidding themselves. He is 6'3" and an atrocious defender. It is probably not possible to be a competitive team if he is your shooting guard. He is a back up guard at best. Unfortunately McDonough traded a great asset for him and then signed him to a 5 year, 70 million dollar contract. Somebody call up Doc Brown. We need a Delorean. Who is willing to go back in time and tell McDonough to not make the trade.

I like his game but since you guys are up for this tank crap might as well play Knight because with him being the floor general its a guarantee lost
