We can't find a better point guard than Ronnie Price?

Price played well. You just know B.Scott is just so happy for his favorite player.

Ronnie Price is a Mitch Kupchak special. God bless his soul.

Sadly Price's shooting performance last night will further solidify BS's game plan of permanently giving Price more minutes.

1 game doesn't erase nearly a decade of middling play.

I was going to give him props for messing up Westbrook's rhythm a bit with his first quarter full court pressure, but then Russ started taking it to him over and over and over again.

Price is the kind of player you end up with when you're a down and out team trying to build a team from the NBA dumpster.

Better get used to it. Even if we add a top 5 pick next year, we still have to either re-sign or replace all the replacement players we have now.

Middling? That's a kind word.

I think at this point it's pretty clear. Price is a mediocre back up PG and Lin is a good back up PG and a mediocre starting PG. Price is suited better to play with this half court but still gunnin version of Kobe (focus on D and spot up... except his fg% hasn't been good sans thunder game). Lin is suited better for the run n gun bench mob along with boozer and SwaggyP... I don't see much drop off from our starting 5 to our bench 5 collectively.
I wanted to see more Clarkson but Wayne Ellington is playing rather well backing up Kobe.

He discovered someone better than his usual self for a while, then it was back to the old Price club again.

Come on Ronnie, bring it back for more than a quarter.

What I like about the current makeup of starting and bench lineups is that they play differently. It potentially gives Scott an extra tool to try and keep games close.

I don't like it because it puts too much pressure on Kobe to carry the unit offensively (Price is not going to be on fire every night- in fact it's usually the opposite). Also, it prevents our best PnR roll man to work with our best PnR PG.

The results over these past 6 games has been alright, imho. I think we're moving in the right direction. Yesterday's game was a good example of how others can fill the scoring void without a big night from Kobe, despite the outlier from Price. But, that's the beauty of basketball. It's a team sport and anybody can end up contributing big.
