calderon and parker is the slowest guard combo in the league.
Jose is a great PG but speed wise he can't keep up with Chris paul, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd... etc.. he got killed by Jamer nelson last year.
Anthony Parker as well. guarding Kobe? and the rest of the 2 guards in the league? he's just to slow.
our SF position is not as good as other teams either. RJ murdered us in the playoffs 2 years back.
JO's addition gets us more inside presence but after JO no ones left.
sam mitchell sucks as a coach! sam has no clue on how to play matchups (thats why we lost to boston...2 games back notice the the first 3Q moon was on pierce he didnt score that much... then he put kapono and parker on him in the 4th thats when he exploded and we lost the game) the raps has 3.5 plays - the high pick and roll with jose and bosh, parker/ kapono running through screens and taking a shot, iso on bosh/JO and the .5 play is when these 3 dont work they improvise and do w/e. why not bring in avery johnson?
my assessment:
PG-average to slightly above average (calderon, solomon, ukic) quality goes down after jose
SG-below average (parker,adams, kapono) severly lacking talent, speed and D
SF-below average (moon, graham, kapono, bargnani?) supposed to be an all around guy, moon is close but not close enough.
PF-above average (bosh, JO, humphries, bargnani) bosh 40 mins a night??? not good
C -above average (bosh, JO, humphries, bargnani) steady.
prediction - 2nd round playoff exit
