The Jazz need to get a starting stretch 5.

Says the guy that had his period a few posts ago.

Classy. AND hilarious.

It's so funny, nowadays all basketball fans and coaches/experts wanna talk about is stretching the floor with a big. I understand the analytics and thought process behind it but it's all about the players ability to ball and coaches ability to play a system to your players strength.

Neither team of Indiana, Chicago, Washington, San Antonio, LAC, Houston, Portland, GSW and Memphis have a "stretch-big" in their starting lineup and all of these teams made the POs and are good teams. You don't necessarily need a big that has range beyond the three point line, you need players who have skills and know the game and coaches who know how to game plan.

Who's Okur?

It's that slimey stuff in gumbo. I think sometimes they fry it too. Fried Okur. Yet. Good with ranch.

I just thought I'd pop in here and help this thread reach the third page. Then, it'll be unimpeachably important. Later, I'll notify Dennis Lindsey.

Thanks for your help, it was a team effort.

I feel your Adreian Payne. I think he is the top stretch 4 in the draft. #Payne@23.

But those teams bigs can hit an outside jumpshot consistently, which IS stretching the floor. Except for probably Houston. But why do you think Howard's most dominant years are when he played alongside Ryan Anderson?
