Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 4202029, member: 229"] Symir at point all season with Joe at the 2 and Buddy at the 3 would've won more games period. Symir could handle all the pressure that anyone threw at him. He wouldn't have stumbled over his feet or got his pocket cleanly picked multiple times, or have to dribble with his back to the basket. His dribble penetration would've opened up the shooters and freed guys underneath. He didn't need to score or have a great outside shot. Lazarus Simms couldn't shoot from the outside and neither could Scoop Jardine. Yet they ran the team. This doesn't even consider that Symir is also a great a defender. The only way the lineup was possible was if Cole and/or Jimmy came off the bench and we know Jimmy wouldn't have. But there's still no reason all 5 of them couldn't have played more with better combos and rotations. JB completely blew it. [/QUOTE]
