Toronto's such a well-coached team.  even when starting a lot of bench players, they all run the same system as the starters and it's a good system that generates a lot of open shots and easy baskets.  lots of good passes, dribble penetration and backdoor cuts.

I know Kemba has been better lately, but how much better would this team be with a playmaker deluxe PG and Aaron Baynes still on the team with money left over to have acquired a killer shooter ?

Aron Baynes has been playing terribly this season. I don't think we're missing too much.

Was not aware. Seems every time I looked, he had a good game, but I hardly follow him regularly.

At least take the PG and shooter.

Kevin Durant spends his first pick on Kyrie over Harden....what a joke. That coupled with him not playing gives the East a much weaker team.
KD couldn't pick Harden first because he is a reserve.  Starters get chosen first and then the reserves.  Harden is on KD's team as a reserve.

Excellent ball movement on that possession.  We don't see that nearly often enough.

Tatum and Pritchard have some solid chemistry. Seems like they are always on the same page.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
