They're discussing on XM NB just now about Fitz being on the hoit seat already in NY. Is that true?

They should be doing the GS thing and just play the rookies/young guys. Let them develop and see what you've got to work with. But is Fitz the problem??

Or was this just talk show fodder?
It’s been the biggest story in the nba the past 48 hours :dahell:

I'm starting the Smart DPOY campaign. It's about damn time he gets the credit he deserves on that end of the floor, and it's about time a guard wins.

Guarding 1-5
Best defensive-possession rate in the entire league (out of all qualifying players)

:birdman:

In the grand scheme of things, absolutely not.

He's only been named on one All-Defensive team, and he's not talked about as one of the most impactful defenders in the league, rather only a good defensive guard. Only Draymond over the last 4-5 seasons has had more defensive impact. And in general, I don't think his defensive abilities and roles are talked about enough.

Kawhi is the least scrutinized player to be considered the best player in the league

he hasn't been best for that long. He wasn't even on a lot of casuals radar until the last year or so. He's been catching scrutiny for load management and probably will get more if the Clips dont make the finals
