This is the way I remember Thomas and Dumars. Generally it was Thomas’ show, but Dumars was adept at handling the point with Thomas off of it at times. And then with Johnson playing off of the ball when he was on the floor, it was Thomas/Dumars running things while Dumars/Thomas was on the bench.
Its definitely a different game now, and the collection of Cunningham, Ivey, and Hayes is a different skill set individually and collectively than the Palace guards were. Hayes has progressed despite earlier frustrations with his draft selection and development. Cunningham and Hayes have shown potential. Can they find cohesiveness as a trio or maybe a quartet with a defensive minded veteran added into the mix?
