re: If Willie didn’t see this team is better with Jonas than Larry tonight then he never will.

Maybe because that isn't true.

As I posted in the game thread, the combined +/- numbers for Jonas and Larry since January 1st are:

Jonas: +100
Larry: +105

Going back that far factors in a time when Nance was playing much better than he's playing now.

If you go back 15 games, Nance is +1.7 and Val +3.9. If you do the previous 20 or so games from there up to January, it's basically flip flopped.

Point being, Nance over the last month or so isn't the same guy from previous months, and that's the issue. When Nance came back from injury he was 9ppg for the 1st 15 games. After that, he's at 5ppg over the last 25. Just not the same dude, based on stats and eye test.
