You are talking about a top 5 player in the league,


AD is playing like arguably the best player in the league right now

quote:

a solid all star level PF


Anderson is very close

quote:

a guy that was probably the best defensive player in the league


Asik is a top defensive center

quote:

one of the best 3pt shooters/closers in the league.


We have jrue/Tyreke/AD for closers.

quote:

We have some very similar players and situations but we are not as clearly defined. That team had balance and everyone knew where they fit.


That's playing time and you can tell they're slowly but surely figuring it out.

quote:

I think the bench deal is totally overrated.


Not really but I can see your point.

quote:

Second we do not have a strong number 2 player.


Tyreke hasn't been perfect but he's well on his way to this. He's averaging 17/6/7 and his outside shot has been so much better. He's been arguably the most consistent player outside of AD(and maybe Jrue/Asik).

quote:

Third we are not tough enough (not a dirty/mean player in the bunch)


So?

quote:

Lastly we have too many 3rd level guys that they are chocking each other out, so that none of them can really shine.


This has been a lie so far.

quote:

Evans, Holiday and Gordon can all be good players. But their roles/minutes/positions change almost every game.


Jrue/Tyreke's roles haven't changed much if at all from game to game. Gordons been awful on offense but that's for another time.

quote:

It's hard to get in the groove that way.


Only gordon agrees with this

quote:

I don't think any of the three can play to the fullest capability with one of the others.


Tyreke/Jrue disagree

quote:

I think 2 of the 3 should go. It's addition by subtraction. But they aren't going anywhere of consequence until they figure the backcourt out.


2 of them Tyreke/jrue aren't going anywhere. They're playing very well,Gordon has been awful outside of defense.

I have to say that the ball movement last night was the best I've seen in years. Evans is gaining confidence with every passing minute (no pun intended) and he's damn near unstoppable when he decides to rip the lane (reminds of what EG did years ago).

I think the other players are realizing that AD can cover up a lot of mistakes and they're starting to play loose ball...that's the 1st step to winning big games.
