What is your definition of playmaker?
Clearly James and Love are the two most talented all around players, but rose is out there making things happen. I agree with most that wade is showing signs of his age, but he is still very dangerous when he wills himself past that. If IT returns, he would be the clear fourth.
What is really different as compared to GS, is the bench depth. Crowder as a fifth starter is efficient and a good defender, but having JR, TT, and Green off the bench is strong, when IT returns he should push wade or rose to the bench..
If you look at t he GS NO game, GS starters played high minutes to beat NO. They had no answer for Cousins and Davis who were both ridiculously efficient, and even if you credit holiday with being above average, NO gave GS a run, playing 3 on 5..
GS is beatable. You need hard nosed defense, and a lot of offensive weapons. I think we can get there, but it will take time for tthe team to gel. I think the team is working together better with out Kyrie tho..
