We all thought Kidd was an idiot for starting Flagg at PG but did anyone else see what happened when they started DLo ?

It might be the case that our 18 year old rookie forward is, in fact, the best point guard on this roster.

Not sure if you noticed but DLo did some wild sh&t last night and the camera picked up Kidd saying something similar to "what the F" and immediately subbed in Naji to play point. Flagg initiated the offense in crunch time.

This is a bad team and AD isn't going to make it better.

Think: AD had 27 pts, 13 boards, 2 steals and 2 blocks while PJ pitched in an efficient 18 pts while Flagg managed another 18. That's probably ideal contribution from their top three players -- and they STILL lost by 10 to the Wizards who are now 1-7.

Its unfortunate that Dlo had a bad game in his first start, but the numbers (and eye test) still scream that the offense is better with a PG (and specifically Dlo) on the floor.  He is going to do dumb shit because that is his nature (part of the reason he was so cheap) but if he continues to shoot like he did last season (as opposed to most of his career) its going to be a long half a season.
