I'd really like to keep both, but it seems like Walker just doesn't fit THIS team; I'm not saying that he's no good, a cancer or that I don't like him. Jamison can score, but he seems to disappear in pressure situations, AND he plays absolutely no defense.

Yes, I do think that we miss Griffin because I remember several games last year where he shut the other teams best offensive threats down. He had extremely quick hands, & he knew that he was a veteran role player. He also made some key baskets in high pressure games. We don't need any more "scorers", we need defenders who CAN score under pressure if they have to, but who will accept fewer minutes and will give 100% in those minutes. We need a few players who are willing to GO TO WAR at crunch time; this bunch just goes home!
