James Jones and Mike Miller bring leadership to the locker room and combine for about 3 million in salary. They talk to Kyrie and Love and are mentoring them and have one championships. We have enough talent we just need to stay healthy. We need to Add a big and a guard. We were on a back to back right before All Star game against a rested Bulls team who hadn't beat us this season.
We do not have enough talent. LeBron clearly doesn't want to play PF and we don't have a legit backup center so when Mozgov is in foul trouble or god forbid injured, Tristan has to play guys like Gasol, Gasol and other bigs. There is a clear lack of depth there. And when Love is out, Marion and Jones end up playing heavy minutes at the 4. That's not going to get you any wins. Tonight was both those things combined. Mozgov was in foul trouble and Love was injured. It seems like just one game now, but what if it happens in the playoffs? If you want Jones and Miller as mentors, get them into the coaching squad. Every roster spot is important in a championship team. Our guys had enough rest last night at the end of the game. Back to back is a BS excuse.
