On top of all of this, people need to get off of their high horses. It'd be one thing to be selective if this was 2008 or even 2010, but we certainly are beggars now, and we can't be choosers.
Well, I sort of started this topic on the high horse with the notion of staying there
, unless jousted off.
We need to find some way to improve this roster, and while I certainly wouldn't bet on AI working out, I think he's certainly worth a gamble at the minimum.
In my other thread, I'd mentioned my feelings on the notion of a true sixth man. Since the triumvirate of Posey, Brown, and Powe had left, our bench has seldom been able to sustain a lead or go on a scoring spree, sans the titular Shrek/Donkey event of '10.
Part of it is that they don't have a real sixth man extraordinaire, like a pre-injury Ginobilli.
Well, who's the Ginobilli of the northeast … aside from Paul Pierce?
Thus, if we force the starting five to incorporate SF-Green and one of the 'centers', then we're not hampered by the current M.O. which implies that the starting five needs to blow out every team, just so that the bench can give back the lead. The new M.O. will be that the starters will have their turn, and then, the bench will have their own. That makes for a better game management system in terms of playing all the pieces of a chess game stratagem.
Therefore, I say, work on a bench which complements Paul Pierce's game and then, we have a situation that'll work out for the team as a whole.
