[QUOTE="ILL in IA, post: 1409740, member: 85347"] I tried to keep up with this, so forgive me if I bring up something discussed already. But one thing I believe may be overlooked when discussing the talent levels of the teams and overachieving, and underachieving, is an imbalance of talent on the roster, and how thin we have been at guard post-2008. And by guard, I mean primary ball handlers. At a quick glance, the last time we went 2 deep a pg without a significant drop off from starter to backup would be the backcourt of Frazier and McCamey in 08. You have to have some elite talent 2-5 to win consistently without a good PG. And I know the PG situation has been discussed for a long time. But looking this over again further removed made it stand out so much more. [/QUOTE]
