Murray, Danny, Kawhi, Anderson/Gay, Aldridge.
Switch 1 through 5, everybody rebounds, everybodys blocks, everybody steals.![]()

Defensive lineup doing work tbh. Will be so much better when Kawhi gets back but good game tonight
The thing about kyle, is that he doesn't get beat much. He just looks more natural at using position instead of just length On d.
On offense he sucks still, but at least he can create a bit and looks like he can hit shots when he wants too. Not sure how anyone can complain about him with gasols and mills being so godamn awful.
What different this team looks with a starting PG playing on the defensive end too...Big upgrade
The length and versitilty of that Gay at PF unit is tantalizing, but let’s settle down a bit. Since when has Rudy Gay been a good defender, lol.
Gay can't guard guards. That was the takeaway from last game. While he can be part of the lineups due to his ability to check forwards, the idea that he should be playing as a wing with Kawhi is silly.
The defense is this good right now and we got the best defensive player in the league in street clothes at the moment.
wait...what??
he can create?? his passing sucks dude...him being a good creator is a myth...his decision making has been so bad, it is on rookie levels of suckage
advanced stats in 2016 showed Gay was an above average defender when it came to his opponent's average when compared to the rest of the league...i think him being a bad defender is a myth that just cant seem to die...like Kyle Anderson being a good passer
His rotations are looking good, so I back up on this.
Same stat that had Anderson better than Kawhi.
Anyway, "creating" and passing are different things. K... is likely referring to Kyle's ability to get his own shot against pretty much any player when he feels motivated to do so.
I think he'll give Bron and KD more of a problem out there on the wing than Green would, strictly because of his length and size advantage over Green's. But you're right, against smaller wings, I would definitely have Green out there.
No, I mean in any lineup, he can't guard guards. So he can't play next to Kawhi. You don't force Kawhi to chase guards just so Gay can be in. Of course, Gay is NOT a better Lebron/KD defender. Green's been just fine on them over the years.
You do know Murray has the best defensive rating on the leage right now, right?
What did I just say earlier in the thread?
I rate him compared to a late first round pick fitting within his intended role. Thus compared to lauvergne, or other backup 4 he passes well enough. I think his critics keep expecting him to be a guard and critizize him for not having guard passing skills.
You said DJM can't be counted on for defensive assignments but he absolutely could though.
I don't know.
Murray might screw up position d a few times, but his 7’ wingspan and rebounding can make up for it and then some
Hate to go on about what could've been, but the idea of having Murray, Green, Simmons, Gay & Kawhi at our disposal is just ridiculous.
Simmons is going to fall into that Scola thread realm right?
Anyone watched Simmons on the Magic? Saw his numbers were decent.
