Not that Duncan is all that great anymore but Gordon is eating him alive!

I like this team

 

subliminal shot at Harris? ;)

[magicjed23 12]

Great run to end the half.

 

It is pretty interesting that our team looks much better without Harris. But, the real question is why? Is it just because we are shooting well or that teams aren't use to the lineups without Tobias? It may just be that Harris is a bench player or just doesn't fit Skiles style. Harris could really shine on a team that gets out and runs and his scoring is not as needed. Or, he is simply having a bad shooting yea. He is the type of person who is going to feel that he has to live up to his contract and the pressure could be affecting him.

 

Either way, we should explore trading him, but only for equal value. He does have value though and shouldn't be given away. He might just be a better fit elsewhere. The fact he wants to be here does mean something. And free agents will notice if we ship him out and don't get a return on our investment.

 

His contract is not bad considering last season and compared to what other players are getting. And you can't compare rookie contracts to his. Also with a huge jump in the salary cap upcoming, it's really nothing that will hurt us.

 

Frye isn't playing either and is Smith really hurt?

Get rid of Harris and keep Fournier

Fournier spreads the floor better than Harris. Plus when shots fall it's a confidence builder. I guess Fournier thrives better as SF over SG.

Nicholson is playing ...it looks like it's Duncan vs Duncan

 

Nice! Someone agrees. Nicholson is our true all star. Glad he is finally coming out of his shell.

This is a pretty fun game to watch!

[jec 427]

I can't watch the game. How are we winning? What is this madness?

60% Fournier 25% Oladipo 15% fantastic defense by everyone

[Catalina Maria 64]

Hezonja 12 pts in 11 minutes.

Fournier is balling. AG can't make any jumper but is still having a huge impact. Braced for the 4th quarter collapse but hopefully we can pull out the win

It really is this simple. Payton/Dipo/Harris/AG just is very limited on the offensive end. None of them are reliable, consistent shooters. Throw Fournier in there, and things just open up. People forget Mario is one of the best on our team at getting to the rim as well as being a good shooter. I'm not really sure why Fournier plays so much better at the 3 though, but he does.
