re: Pels vs Minnesota

Murray and fears were complete garbage and cost us this game. we need better guard play asap.

Grabbed fears shoulder and hit him on the head. But Mcdaniels can get away with it because he has a reputation. But our ******* ALL Defense forward can foul out barely midway through the 4th

Missi helps some but if your perimet defenders are not good at the point of the attack, there only so much Missi's presence can do.

Both Fears and Murray have been poor defenders at the point of attack and both are easily swallowed up by screens. You can work around one of them but there's no way to hide both.

Both can make some plays on defense but neither guy can guard at a high enough level to make Mosley's defense as good as when he had those types of defenders in Orlando.

At some point, Mosley has to realize this guard combo is terrible. They haven't played well together in a single game this season, one has to be coming off the bench and they cannot be the closing combo. Fears is the possible future so I'd much rather see him over a seemingly disinterested Murray.

With Matkovich and Watford’s outstanding contribution, you’d think we HAD to have won. But our supposed best players were non existent. Trey can’t dribble and DJM sucks at basketball. DJM is supposed to be good at defense and it’s just not the case.

I like fears but we can’t keep closing with him right now

ok. So you want to just trade him then, b/c that’s basically what you just said.

Just for a second.. bear with me.. imagine if you replace DJM with Dyson Daniels. frickkkkkkkkkk

Spacing would be worst

Dude Murray scored 7 points on 3 of 10 shooting. At least Dyson can do every thing else on the court exceptionally. He would fit phenomenally next to Fears. Fears actually had a great game but his defense combined with Murray’s is too bad to overcome.

Mosley is in an impossible position. He has to keep both in the lineup because Murray is still a quality player and the team needs him to start and play for several reasons: Keep him engaged, maintain his value, and keep him from being a cancer.

Fears is a given because they are going to give him the keys and he's going to be the franchise so they are going to play and develop him and let him figure it out on the floor.

I'm sure Mosley would prefer to have Herb on the floor more often but he also has to manage some egos and develop Fears while trying to win.
