re: Debate me why Tyreke shouldn't start over Gordon if Jrue returns.

I think Tyreke creates so many open looks with his drives ppl gets pissed he doesn't make every pass but this guy is a scorer first and not a natural pg for his postion he's a great passer. If Tyreke made every open pass he would avg 11 assist a game.

Or the fact that, when he's in, nobody respects his shooting so they simply pack the paint and make the team around him beat you.

Pretty much shuts him down along with anyone else that plays inside.

Here's one for you, last two minutes of the game:
Gordon:
11/17 fg (64.7%)
7/8 3pt (87.5%)
3/4 ft (75.0%)
3 rebounds
3 assists
3 turnovers

Evans:
12/41 fg (29.3%)
0/8 3pt (0.0%)
16/22 ft (72.7%)
16 rebounds
14 assists
6 turnovers

tells me that he's a liability down the stretch. No player that shoots 29.3% in the waning 2 minutes should be taking 41 shots.

He is inefficient with a low basketball IQ. EG might be dumb for one frickup, but Tyreke is possibly MR with how many he's had.

That is why you leave him on the bench to wreck shop against inferior talent and let EG space for AD/Asik. He's a bad point guard. So let him run the 2nd unit or 5-6minutes after the first quarter and let Jrue start with EG.

EG brings more to the table that helps the starting line up, he gives spacing for AD to work inside instead of having to settle for jumpers, he gives Asik room to catch and dunk, he gives QPon/Cunningham space to get rebounds, and he gives Jrue a guy that can space the floor so he can make more reasonable passes inside.
