I hope you see why the Bib-craw-jj-Smov-Horf lineup isn't sustainable!

We will get torched offensively by the opposing backcourt. Even with JJ the starting 2 we still get torched alot of times. Woody should have given Teague or Evans a shot on Nate Robinson!!

Smoove and Al played hard the entire night, and are not to blame for our losing streak right now.. But Woody is, He left craw in the game way too long even though he was hurting us , with his non-existent defense and terrible shot selection..

Ditto. As small (height-wise) as we are inside - that's not what hurts us the most. Speed kills and we have little of that. It shows when Smoove or Al Horford are leading the breaks. That's nothing against Smoove or Horford.

In fairness, not many players in the league would have been able to slow down Nate that night. He was out for blood. Bibby obviously can't handle guys with that type of quickness and Crawford's utility is pretty much zero when he is not hitting shots.

Exactly.

Even when we pulled Crawford, and then Bibby, Nate couldn't be stopped.

The Bibby - Crawford - JJ - Smoove - Horford lineup has been our best group all year. We will continue to play that group, because it's our most potent offensive unit. If you don't like that unit, you better hope Marvin get his jumpshot back. If that happens, there will be less of a need to play Crawford and Bibby at the same time.
