Our offense is just all 3 and D guys. Even Bridges at his heart is that.

Nobody who can put the ball on the floor and get buckets. Dinwiddie wants to be that guy but can't be. And is better off in an off ball role.

Cam is the closest thing we have. He should definitely be getting run in these second units.

That being said, it will be interesting to see what kind of roster that can be built in the offseason by using some assets and a possible S&T involving Cam Johnson.

I think we need to obtain a 5 that can stretch the floor without being a complete liability and transition Claxton to PF.


Defense was bad at times. But Kevin Porter did make a ton of consistently tough shots.

I was more concerned about the offense in the 3rd and early 4th.

But it always comes down to our 3 point shooting. In every game.


This team needs a PG and another consistent scorer badly. I don't understand playing Seth over Cam Thomas.

I'm actually optimistic that this situation can improve, but being unable to get cap space because of Simmons is a killer.

We need to acquire some scoring in the offseason. A guy that draws attention and gives easy looks to Bridges and Cam Johnson etc.

The problem with Cam Thomas is that he doesn’t do anything else well. And he’s never going to get the volume of shots needed if he’s off to a slow start. Hopefully we move him in the offseason. But for now you’re right he should play..

Agreed. I understand full well why Vaughn doesn't play Cam. But we need scoring.
