That us a lot of "if's." The Fakers are a 2 man team and a bunch of nobodies. And AD wasn't even playing well before tonight, that is why they were on a two game losing streak.

Gotta love that our two main guys, Brown and Tatum, played really well. Watching Kemba reminded me of the MIA series last year when he looked like he just couldn't create any space for himself. Is he one of those guys who can only score against bad defenses? If he had had even a fair shooting night we win easily. Boy, the Jays really showed they’re on the verge of being elite. They were making difficult shots look easy against AD, Harrell and Lebron. That’s how you know you’re good!

I have to agree with Derren. I also think Smart going down didn't help. Generally if the Jay's go for a combined 50 we win. That alllllmmooossttt happened against the best team last night and Kemba has only been back for a few games.
My biggest concern is defense. I think it ought to be prioritized. I'd start phasing out Kemba and phasing in Pritch. I'd also start phasing out TT and phasing in Time Lord. Kemba in a 6th man role makes more sense for me.

You think Kemba will gracefully accept a bench role in favor of a rookie (even though it could be the right move)?
Yeah, what has happened to our defense? Is Brad trying different things? Maybe he’s telling the guys to avoid fouling so much (and in turn they’re not as aggressive and risk taking)?

Maybe he’s telling the guys to avoid fouling so much (and in turn they’re not as aggressive and risk taking)? I don't think Kemba would have a huge problem with it. He still gets paid and it would lengthen his career and keep him effective when he plays. I think he'd ask Brad to at least keep him in if he's playing well and Brad would say "on defense" and they'd leave it at that. Hopefully
