James Edwards

Like he's going to play with pain.

We thought that he had, he came back against OKC and left the game holding his kind of groin area.

And it looked like he might be done for a while, but he said that the doctors told him that this is something that he's just going to have to learn to play with now as it, the muscles expand and he gets used to that.

So yeah,

Then you start asking, should they start Jordan Clarkson, who has been really good for the last 10-something games?

But can you put him in a starter's role, right?

So the alternatives right now, to me, don't look as appealing.

I go back to this.

This team, to me, is not constructed in a way that you win at an uber-high level in the NBA.

They don't have a plethora of players, and by a plethora I mean like more than two, who can break down a defender off the dribble and create advantages.

Jalen can break a guy off the dribble, get into the paint, and get kickouts.

After that, Josh is probably the second best one at that, right?

Like this isn't a team that has Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Halliburton.

Even Andrew Nembhard was doing it in the playoffs, right?

We could talk about Boston.

To me, that's where it's offensively.

This team is supposed to be a dynamite offensive team, first and foremost, with the pieces that they have.

But it's a bunch of guys who are pretty much...

three and D wings, Josh, who does a bunch of stuff by rebounding and pushing the pace.

And then obviously the star being Jalen.
