After the trading deadline, it seems apparent that we have very few options left to try and squeeze more success out of this roster. But we do have one option left: smallball.
The smallball approach and Doc's affinity for it is pretty disliked around here, but Green's performance last night tells me we've got to give it a shot. We can't do this against every team, but when the matchups allow it, what have we got to lose by giving one of our most talented players, and our SF of the future, a chance to blossom in extended starter's minutes?
And what other choice do we have? We've got KG, who's still effective starting at C, Bass, who's well-suited to a bench PF role but underwhelming as a starter, Wilcox, who has good energy but otherwise doesn't do much, DJ White on a 10-day deal, and a guy who can't tie his shoes at an NBA level yet.
So let's throw caution into the river, pull out the last card in our bag of tricks, mix our metaphors whenever we feel like it, and sing along together:
All I ever wanted
all I ever needed was here
in smallball
Bigs are very
unnecessary
They can only do harm...
