TD is effed in the head. When he's right and in he right role he's valuable.
End of 3rd Qtr

Gotta Say that Grunwald needed to do a better job of bringing in some help at Guard. My only real complaint. If we had a decent crew of guards it would make things a lot better.

f it, play shump until he cramps. he's young
If Bibby wakes up and becomes consistant.....that would be good.

I would get the Best Defensive Guard in D League with handle. If he can't shoot..don't care..have him bring ball up and pass to our scorers.
Our bench will be fine when Bibby and Jeffries return

+1
No it's his fault..He stinks at PG or SG. You dont' need to create a position for him. He might be a nice guy but he will be out the league once his contract is up or 13 man on mediocre team.
dude you obviously have no idea what you're talking about or you're just being way to reactionary. td is great as a scoring guard off the bench. he excelled in the role last year and he will do so for a while. he's a good player just nowhere near a pg.
So what do we do on Defense when he is in there. He is a liability. We have a 6'1 guy with no moves to be a scoring guard? If that's what he is here for Nate did that and did it better. And you must have a different definition of the word "Great" and "Good".
you're right, great is a bit over the top, i admit. but let's just be real here. td has value in this league, he's a much better defender than he's showed this year, he's good at scoring the ball and he usually doesn't turn it over. but facts are facts and the guy isn't a pg. i think him in the lineup with shump works, because shump can control the pg spot and guard 2guards and td can guard pg's.
Need starting lineup back out at 9 minutes

Picking up his man before the half court line. Pressure defense from the inbounds on and good help defenders behind him at the rim.
We are getting tore up now. Where is the D?

you can't not play him because he is a good player, just not a good pg. unfortunately right now he's gotta play pg. if baron is healthy, td will be first guard off the bench and do a great job at it.
Good player? Ok there's nothing else I can say at this point.
im sure you thought he sucked last year when he was shooting 38% from 3, averaging 11ppg and had a 3:1 to ratio as a 2nd year player.
LOL this is like the Nate Robinson discussion again. Both these guys are third string scrubs that should only see PT if we are seriously injury depleted. I have absolutely no love for TD, never did. I think he tries hrd tough but he neither has je skills nr the mindset. Bill walker can jack up threes more consistently than he can.
EXCELLENT pass by shumper. i haven't seen someone setup amar'e that way on a fast break yet this year.
Is it me or last season STAT would have dunked that?

there are absolutely NO similarities between nate and td. not one.
