Dragic's season has been really hard to swallow so far. This could be a very very long year for him.The Bobster wrote:Dragic didn't play well, Len was alright, but nothing special.Indy wrote:Didn't get to watch the game tonight. Were Goran and Len as awful as their +/- shows?
I'm hoping Marcus and Plumlee have played themselves out of the starting lineup.
Last season he led the team in +/-, basically tied with Frye (in contrast Tolliver is the worst on the current roster by a mile). This year, playing the same, he is posting a negative value.
It's unbelievable, but the team is actually doing better when he is not on the court, or to be less hard on him and praising others, when his replacement is playing.
Can you imagine Nash playing with no Amare-Gortat/Frye-KT (even Marion-Diaw) by his side?
Santa, if you are listening I want a trade involving a guard for a pick and roll/pop partner who can start or lat least play 20-25 mins. I know it is hard to accomplish, but I am open to anything.
As for Plumlee, he is bench bound indeed, but Len is too foul prone and inconsistent right now. Anyway looks good for those who called Len over Miles before the season.
Marcus has a case against Tucker because his defensive stats are actually better than PJ's, but rebounding makes a huge difference and Tucker is a clear plus there.
My ideal scenario involves adding that p+r big man and making Green-Marcus-Kieff the core of a potent second unit, plus a center who hopefully ends up being Plumlee because Len becomes real starting material.
