Backcourt: here’s the problem

Posted by: Stefano on February 9th, 2012

My opinion is: we are one of the best team looking at the frontcourt, deep and versatile, strong on the offensive end and in the defensive end too

But then?

we have no 3 pts shooters at sf,sg,pg that can make some basket in the right time of the game this is clear

but another great problem is: our backcourt lack D

every opposite pg, sg scores a lot against our team, because we are slow and aged, we cannot guard most of the guard in the league with harris, watson, cj, bell

if we’ll able to fit this positions we can fight with every team

   Are back ups play amazing defense. Al and sap need to pick it up a bit but, they will get the picture one day. If they don’t I hate to say it but pauls and als minute got to be reduced.

   Does anyone not see what I see? The wings crowd Hayward as much as the rest of the team crowds Al and Paul. It’s ridiculous what the other teams put Hayward through just to get an actual shot. No wonder his scoring is down. They found out that, sorry to say, Devin, Raja, CJ, and earlier on Josh had an outside shot but is now lacking too. Earl can score sometimes outside, but we all know he is a playmaker. They run Hayward through the cleaners. They need another wing (preferably SF to put Gordon at the SG) and a PG.

   @Gerald – I agree. I hope that we can use the Memo trade exception and possibly Millsap & Harris to bet a top flight PG and a knock down shooter at SF.

   trade millsap, harris, and carroll to golden state for stephen curry and dorell wright. then we could have as starters

   curry (good pg, can shoot the 3)
   hayward (put him at sg now, he’ll start getting more looks)
   wright (36% from the arc, averaged 11 ppg in golden state)
   favors
   jefferson

   obviously utah would want watson taking control of the point for a while to give curry time to learn the offense, but eventually the above mentioned lineup could be a reality and a really good offensive combination.
