good spacing in a pnr offense creates lanes. Bigs are scare to fully show because Green is behind the line and Bogut is at the rim. Throw in a some switches and you get players even more uncomfortable.

I disagree, Cole is worse than Shump. A better comparison might be he is a poor mans Toney Douglass.

Lame comparison. Cole had a good reason to defer to Lebron, Wade, Bosh. Shump was just scared to drive. TD isnt nearly as athletic as Cole. He's playing well in NO.

We have Gslloway who can give you a little of what Cole can give you..We have too many holes to fill before thinking of spending money on Cole..

I'd take Langstan all day long. He gives you pretty much everything Cole would give a team with better 3pt shooting and rebounding. Gallo needs to improve as a passer and refine his scoring but he was thrusted in a terrible role as a rookie but performed admirably. I think he will improve as a scorer and shooter given his background which would put him way ahead of Cole.

#s to compare.

Not suggesting we break the bank, but Cole/Galloway at PG would be great defensively.

He has played better in NO than any time in his career. I don't trust him to keep up his still severely below average play. If you can't get numbers when no one is focusing on you I severely doubt you are going to play better in a bigger role surrounded by less talent.

Have you been watching this game? Cole is playing great D, finding teammates, and getting buckets.
I disagree that Cole is a below average player, Shump, JR, TD, Felton, didnt have the all around playoff game that Cole is having now their entire time in NY.

Jr and Shump most definitely did. Felton probably did too but my memory is hazy. I try not to think about Felton or TD Jr was putting together a nice series versus Boston pre-suspension(maybe injury). Shump had some very good games that year too. His numbers and play jumped that final month and continued through the playoffs giving people hope.

Regardless, I am not basing my opinion off of one game either but am looking at the totality of Cole's play. He is just someone I do not like. We disagree is all.

Felton was the MVP of the Boston series..I think you are overvaluing Norris Cole..

It's starting to come back to me, I believe he had some very key moments on D. I definitely remember one huge block on Paul Pierce, he defended him pretty well as a whole the latter part of the series when switched on to Paul.

“He’s killing us,” Celtics Coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s getting into the paint, he’s attacking us. It doesn’t look well on film, I can tell you that.”

Felton has scored 29 points over two games, behind only Anthony (70) and J. R. Smith (34). His penetration via the pick-and-roll has made a mess of the Celtics’ vaunted defense. He had 16 points, 7 assists and 0 turnovers in Game 2 and helped spearhead the 32-11 third quarter that crushed Boston’s spirit.

Felton has also provided surprisingly effective defense against Paul Pierce, who has a six-inch height advantage and a finals M.V.P. trophy in his closet.
