However, Wes, Zaza, and DWill do not have it which makes our entire starting lineup slow and under-the-basket.
And I've come to the realization that we are not playing "small ball" like Golden State and some other teams but actually "tiny ball" when we have Dirk (5), either Wes or Parsons (4) and then three PGs. We drive and kick to death because that is all we have (under-the-basket) and teams know that now so they overplay our passing lanes for easy steals.

Yeah, you know your roster is a mess when the fanbase harps on Rick for not playing a 29-year-old rookie or a journeyman who has a reputation for being the biggest knucklehead in the league... As if Rick would be rolling out these tiny lineups if we had DeAndre Jordan or Tyson Chandler??
Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson need to bring their A-game this summer or else we're going to be looking at more of the same until Dirk retires (and much, much worse after he's gone).
