Norris Cole, Quincy Pondexter, and Dante Cunningham. ..
Dell Demps should win executive of the year for these three moves alone. They are so important to this current win streak. Doing all of the dirty work and allowing our stars to be super at what they do. Eric shooting his amazing shot, tyreke slashing with confidence, and asik just feeding off of misses and playing stout d. I am really enjoying our team as presently constructed.

A team like GS will shorten its bench and probably just play Iggy, Davis Lee, and Livingston. Maybe Speights who has been great. Maybe.
Again, I love the guys. Just playing Devils Advocate. The playoffs is a whole new level and you will be going against the best of the best night in and night out. Playing harder than the other guy isn't as likely any more. Comes down to skill at that point.
these three are arguably our top 3/4 on man defensive players. They allow the others to be who they are. I can argue they are just as important on defensive as Tyreke is on offense. in the playoffs, you don't advance without D. They don't hurt the team but only adds to it.
