Hey, the Ayer paper does describe a 4 that looks a lot like Asik (defense, rebounding, scoring about 10 points a game), but if this helps, it...
Remember last year at around this time when we were referring to this team as the "baby Rockets", and saying how important it was to be patient,...
Casspi looks so relaxed in these pictures. Wonder why?
Best PnR defense against best PnR offense ?
Joe Joe, I meant to mention, yes, I agree with the above point. Synergy is one thing, but ultimately if you have a big talent difference, that is...

Yeah, I know. Should have been clearer in my post. Not Delfino per se, but someone playing that role. As good as Beverley and TJones were last...
Not that I saw.
They weren't a big deal. Can't remember all details, (they are discussed in depth above, if you want to search for it), one was an Anthony Davis...
Missing Delfino. Last night's second units, made me realize just how much.
