Why is Devean George starting?

Tonight he was defending Vince Carter. Carter scored what... 32?

And with all due respect to Carter, who is a very very good player... he's hardly LeBron.

I think you've been reading Avery's old post-it notes too.

If that's the best man-up defender on the team, then I think a logical move would be to accept that you don't have a good man-up defender and go with someone who has some actual skill in some other area.... or better yet is young, developing, and might develop those skills if you ever let him get off the bench *cough*Wright*cough*
