Anybody else missing IT this half?
I thought we had all agreed that the team is infinitely better without him?
Nope. His individual offense is helpful at times, but his presence would only exacerbate the lack of ball movement we have right now, which is no coincidence that's when our offense went downhill.
Or he'd take it to the rim, which we desperately need someone to do, and not settle for crappy mid-range jumpers.
True. But how many more points would he also give up defensively to Lowry and Derozan? Rozier is already bad on him. He'd have a field day with IT.
This isn't a game where having IT would help, because his defensive deficiencies would've hurt us as much as he helped us offensively.. We're simply not making shots this half, along with stopping the ball movement in the second half of that quarter, which makes things even worse.
