People were saying the same thing after the first couple of games last year... Mario comes through when we need him...

I'll give you that he has had some big games against good teams (playoffs last year, Thunder this year) but if he isn't hitting shots he's pretty useless. Especially since he can't guard anyone. Cole gets out of control sometimes, but he's done a good job defensively against top opposing PGs.

good thing he isnt a coach. the main reason we keep chalmers is because he is a good defender at the one spot.

Maybe I shouldn't have said he can't guard anyone, but you guys are mistaking getting steals, which he gets by gambling all the time defensively, for actually keeping someone in front of you on D. There's a reason why Wade would guard Rondo and Westbrook in the playoffs last year, even when Chalmers was on the floor. Also, most of the time when they play a team with a quick, athletic pg either Chalmers gets lit up (like against Isiah Thomas did to him this year) or Cole gets a lot more minutes than him (i.e. 39 minutes against Denver b/c of Ty Lawson and 29 minutes last night against Kemba). I'm not saying Chalmers is the worst defender in the league but if you think that Cole isn't a better defender than Chalmers, we're just not going to agree.

Chalmers is trash on D :heh:


Cole is a waaaay better defender its not even close
For real,

The nikka is slow as hell laterally. Terrible at fighting through picks, and gambles too much. He's been just awful this year.

The nikka is the new Derek Fisher. Suck for weeks at a time but hit some big shots on national tv, then go right back to sucking. Cole's inability to finish in the paint is the only reason im not asking for him to take rio's spot.
