Deep team now that AB is back. That now means we have two guards in the starting lineup AND two guards off the bench who are solid perimeter defenders. |

One of the things I’m most encouraged by outside of Dwight’s miraculous top role player performance.
We can bottle up any top guards with this defensive rotation...and most teams are built on star guard play. |

I hope so too. This stint as a starter hopefully helped him get more comfortable out there with the extra minutes. I hope he does not regress back on the bench. Fingers crossed! _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

Avery Bradley worked out again today with Lakers in Orlando and will play against the Magic Wednesday, per source. He will be on about a 20 minutes restriction. Bradley had been out with a hairline fracture in his lower right leg. |
Good to hear. |
Good to hear indeed. Question: who starts out of him and KCP? KCP has been balling with the starters, but AB should not lose his spot due to injury.
Either way, good problem to have. |

Well thats not good logic. The player thats most effective as a starter should start. |

AB is on a minutes limit. So he’ll come off the bench most likely. |

Avery needs to make his 3s though. By playoffs need a reliable 35 percent or better shooter. He is really good at mid-range shots, but teams leave him at the 3 point line and he needs to make them pay. He and Caruso together with Green at the 3, Lebron at the 4, and AD at the 5 is absolutely one of the best defensive lineups in the NBA against any team. But we need to get some offense out of Caruso and AB. Not helping that Green has hit a rut with his 3 pointer. These dudes are so valuable with their defense. Just hope they can make open shots in the playoffs at a better clip than they have now. KCP for example is doing amazing at open shots. |

I think Vogel needs to tell Avery , he needs to shoot at least 2 to 3 three pointers a game. Needs to be ready for the playoffs. His career shooting from the 3's is an impressive 36.3% |

He is awesome in defense and he was also hot in the mid range. Better than Beverley. |

With the way KCP blossomed starting, keep starting him. Easy peazy. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Aren't you a Clipper fan? You do know Kawhi is all about the midrange right? |

CP3 was killing GSW with mid range before he got injured in game 6. And Rockets bricked record number of threes without plan B in game 7. "So 2002" was troubling Warriors with KD, Steph, Klay and Green than 3 point chucking in low scoring games with good defense. 😂 _________________ Showtime 2.0 |

I think KCP should keep starting, obviously he plays much better as a a starter, why change it? |
