And who do we trust more, in this year's playoffs, to provide that pestering defense and occasional scoring on open drives: Lindsey or AA? My vote is with the old guy. |
you bring up a great point. realistically you're not going to see afflalo in the playoffs. you're going to see the starters, max, stuckey, jarvis, and lindsey. relying on 2 rookie guards in the playoffs (despite how solid AA has been) is a scary thought. relying on lindsey to be the backup PG is a scary thought.
but letting stuckey be the backup PG with lindsey getting spot minutes (like james/lindsey in the championship year)? that's something i can roll with.
