I love Isaiah, I really do. His offense has clearly won us a lot of games this year - but our defensive problems out on the perimeter are mostly because of him. I dont think its because of lack of effort, but his shortcomings on D lead him to taking chances and hurting the team defense in the process. But what do you do? I mean, you can't take his defense out, but he just can't matchup with guys like Lillard, Irving, Westbrook. I still maintain our best starting lineup would be Smart and Bradley because Bradley and Crowder have come so far as shooters that strecthing the floor with them isn't a problem. IT will always be an offensive sparkplug, but those guys are best coming off the bench - they always have been and always will be.
