I like how this Second Unit looks together

[drza44]

Marquis, House, Tony Allen, Baby and Sheed.

Even without the "true" point guard we've got 3 decent ball handlers to share the duties.

We've got 2 slashers that can get to the rim at will.

We've got 2 3-point shooters on the court.  And another player that can consistently knock down the mid-range jumper

We've got 2 good perimeter/wing defenders and a good big-man defender with two others (Baby and House) that rotate decently

This unit has potential.

Agreed.  I think a few less optimistic on here were forgetting how good Daniels is.  He's going to make a big difference for this team, if he can stay healthy.

Daniels changes the whole complexion of the bench, and with BBD and Tony playing decently, this is back to being one of the NBA's better benches.

I always thought the whole TA/Quis cant play together thing because of spacing was overstated. You have Sheed who plays from the perimeter which will open up the lane plenty, and defenders sure as hell arent going to leave House open. Both TA and Quis being able to post up will cause some mismatch problems, especially Marquis because he is a very good passer. BBD looks much better of late and he can hurt other teams with the post up, or the midrange jumper which he is hitting lately. THen on the other side of the ball Quis/TA/BBD are all good defenders, Sheed is very good when he wants to be, and House tries his hardest and can be pesky.

I just hope, and expect Rondo/PP/Ray to get some more rest because of Daniels being back. So far this game the bench has 18 points/4 assists/6 boards/0 turnovers, not bad.

I agree; the way the bench was playing in the early 2nd quarter was a joy to watch! Quis! I've missed you so much! He's actually like my favorite player - I love seeing his mid range game in action.

It is easy to forget what Quise' brings because he is willing to fade into the background if he doesn't have a good matchup and because he is never flashy, both of which are positive traits.

That would not be a surprise to if we started a winning streak now and blew other teams out more often. I hope it happens, now that our team is out there together for the first time this season.

I'm confused, what's this... how did I get here? I thought the sky was supposed to be falling.
