Wouldn't have minded Holiday covering Tucker or Booker a little more. Can't believe Holiday has done anything to earn dog house status, he's been one of the most consistently solid two way players we have. I don't understand Hornacek's rotation.

Yeah, had a good game the one before but played only 4 minutes against Suns


Strange...he seemed confident and played within the offensive flow.

With the way Willy is playing, I would not mind starting him at the 5 with KP coming off the bench leading 2nd unit. It's time for Noah to be out of rotation.

Our two best backcourt mates are BJ and Rose. BJ is a traditional point guart; Rose a scoring guard. Let BJ run team; let Rose drive. Move Lee to the 3 with Holiday.

Bj has been bad for a while now. He started off the season great but now all he does is turn the ball over and run around dribbling the ball. When was the last time we saw one of his great passes that he was doing early in the season?

KP does cut but they don't really pass to him when he's with Rose n Melo. Not like BJ does. Willy is the best cutter tho!

It appears we may need to have at least one of our "soft Europeans" on the court at all times...lol.

Yes!!

Willy improves the D too. Noah does not have the quickness to recover and make that block on Thaddeus like Willy just did.

Noah needs to sit.

Did you see the two gorgeous passes to Willy for dunks? Rose can't do that; doesn't have the court vision. BJ is streaky, but he gives effort and see the floor--he is a natural point guard. Rose should be allowed to do his thing and just worrying about scoring.

What the Pacers have been doing to us has absolutely nothing to do with Noah though.

The thing I don't understand is that KP and Willy never seem to play together. Don't they have great chemistry from playing together in Spain?

You can't bench KP. Would move our team beyond dysfunctional.

Willy does every time. KP does, sometimes, but prefers to pop to three point line. Did scream at scream tonight when they missed him. Think he is a tough stop if we feed him as a cutter. JH has to set more plays for him to cut.

Noah was -6 in 6min. Since he went out Knicks have out scored the Pacers by 2 and played much better D.

I wouldn't call them gorgeous cause Billy was open under the basket but if you think BJ has been playing good then we're watching different games cause the only time he was playing well was the first maybe 3 weeks of the season.

Notice how the defense actually improves with Willy too?


I seem to recall getting beaten up by guys around here a couple of weeks ago for suggesting that he might be starter material at that time.

He is very basic...does the things he knows he can do...and was groomed to do in Spain, but I think the will become a much better offensive player over the next few years, especially from midrange.
