Much like the Warriors streak, the Incredible Two Man team of Duane Watson and Will Strickland, co-hosts of TSN 1050 Radio's #1On1 with Will & Duane, continue to drive #3MW: The Ultimate Hoops Writing Machine, toward basketball immortality. Nadine Liverpool, director of Sports Fusion Group, comes along for the ride in this week's edition of Three Man Weave.

Which Canadian player would benefit most with a change of scenery?

Watson: This may sound like an odd selection as he recently went for 28 points against the Golden State Warriors, but I'm looking at Kelly Olynyk.  With the dearth of forwards in Boston, Coach Stevens goes with what is working. And while not the strongest defender, Olynyk's versatility poses problems for opponents on the defensive end. If he had a little more consistency (averages 18 minutes per game) and opportunities to make some mistakes and learn from them, I think it would help his game.

Liverpool: Nik Stauskas. It's unfortunate that the former Michigan Wolverine superstar had to go from the NCAA championship final to a dysfunctional Sacramento Kings team and is now with the abysmal Philadelphia 76ers aka the worst team ever. The Mississauga native was a 44 per cent 3-point shooter in college and has what it takes to be the poor man's Kyle Korver. All he needs is a team that can actually run some plays for him. Hello, Raptors? Sorry, Dwane Casey, but those drive and kicks to 6'9 Luis Scola in the corner is not going to win you a championship. #FreeNikStauskas

Strickland: Tyler Ennis. Being drafted to Phoenix in 2014, a team glutted with point guards at the time, then traded to Milwaukee in the middle of his rookie campaign, where now a right shoulder injury has limited his exposure, has not made for the smoothest of journeys in his young career. Even when healthy, a quick review of Ennis' place on the point guard depth chart behind former Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams, Jerryd Bayless and Greveis Vasquez, reveals a similar conundrum as his time in Phoenix. Perhaps a place like Portland, where Canadian National Team head coach and Blazers assistant bench boss Jay Triano resides, could help Ennis find his NBA footing.

By introducing Jerry Colangelo into the front office as a special advisor, are Sam Hinkie and his tanking and "trust the process" model done in Philly?

Watson: The league has brought in Colangelo as a "cleaner," to fix the situation and end the apathy in Philly. The "process" was a joke; a way for the private equity owners of the 76ers to make money and incur the least costs doing so. The Sixers are living on the salary cap floor, acquiring draft picks, some of which were stashed overseas, without an effort at being competitive. The league owners were tired of the system being exploited, particularly when their gate receipts were affected whenever the 76ers rolled into town. Colangelo knows how to turn organizations around after his time in Phoenix, and more recently with USA Basketball, so Hinkie will be out and there will be a new focus on being competitive for a change.

Liverpool: Sorry but I don't think I can really "trust the process" when the 76ers just signed Brett Brown to a contract extension. How does the man that's responsible for the longest losing streak in major professional sports get a raise? Plus Colangelo will be staying in Phoenix while he runs the team in Philadelphia. I hope the team has a premium Skype plan in place. The 76ers are a joke. Brown is a joke. Colangelo becoming the new FaceTime advisor is a joke. Everything is just one big fat joke. #FreeNikStauskas

Strickland: The Takeover! The break's over, homie! No Hin-kie! See? It's J-Colo! It's a wrap for that asinine Philadelphia experiment under GM Sam Hinkie, where fans were asked to pay hard-earned money to watch an unwatchable team "develop" assets only to trade them away (See: Carter-Williams, Michael; Payton, Elfrid) in hopes of positioning themselves for a culture-changing superstar pick in the draft (See: Simmons, Ben). Even if Hinkie is left in the job for optics' sake, to date, this "process" has been without merit and the league was asked to intervene... by the Sixers themselves! Colangelo is a well-respected, well-connected builder and leader who won't find immediate success in the Mess That Sam Hath Made. But for a man who lost a can't-miss draft prospect in possibly the most famous coin flip ever, the artist formerly known as Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, on a coin flip in 1969 and still took his expansion Phoenix Suns to an NBA Final after only six seasons in the league, even helping to double the Sixers current win record might be deemed a "success" in the Land of Lowered Expectation.

Where did the Charlotte Hornets come from?

Watson: We can start with their big three of Kemba Walker, Al Jefferson and the newly acquired Nicolas Batum, who is a difference maker on both ends of the floor and an upgrade over Gerald... never mind. Then the bench is deeper with dare I say it, Jeremy Lin and Jeremy "show-me-the-money" Lamb and rookie Frank Kaminsky, who seems to be slowly finding his way. Eight of their 14 wins were over teams that are below .500, but all this is happening without one of their best defenders in Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who hasn't played a game this season due to a torn labrum in his shoulder.

Liverpool: Steve Clifford, Coach of the Year? I know it's a tad early to be handing out awards but what he's done with this young Hornets team this season is unbelievable. The Hornets are second in the East and have won eight of their last 10. All this with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out for the season and even with Al Jefferson's recent suspension, Charlotte is still getting it done. Right now, they're hot from behind the arc, going from a subpar 15th last year in 3-point shooting up to fourth but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon just yet. This Hornets team reminds me of the Wizards last season. Washington went from leading the East early to going 3-9 in the month of February and dropping to fifth in the conference. It's a marathon not a sprint, so I expect this young and inexperienced Charlotte team to slow down heading into the New Year.

Strickland: North Carolina, right? In all seriousness, even with Buddah Al on the shelf for at least five games in response to violating the NBA Drug Policy, Steve Clifford, he of a freshly minted multi-year coaching extension, has adapted to the shift in his on-court personnel quite well. Nic Batum needed a new start after his time in Portland and actually complements Kemba Walker much better than the oft-injured Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Owner Michael Jordan and GM Rich Cho invested in last year's College National Player of the Year, Frank Kaminsky, as well as OKC Thunder castoff Jeremy Lamb and the now well-traveled Jeremy Lin to help lead a bunch who has won eight of their last 10, including four straight, and sit in second place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and just ahead of the Toronto Raptors. That's not a typo!

With All-Star Game voting opening this week, how likely is it that Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are named starters for the Midseason Classic?

Watson: Based on how they are both playing right now, highly likely. It didn't hurt that the league made it even easier to vote this year. But, as the best backcourt in the conference, particularly in their hometown, this isn't going to be a token appearance. Lowry is one of the top guards in the league, period and DeMar is playing at a heightened level, while the team that they carry is winning as well. It just raises the concern that there will be no break for these guys in February.

Liverpool: Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan both being named starters for the All-Star Game is a bit of a stretch. Lowry I can see being named but DeRozan, no. Yes, DeRozan is the top scoring guard in the East averaging 21.7 PPG, but remember the voting system for All-Star starters is a popularity contest. I don't think DeRozan has the influence or star power to beat out the likes of John Wall or a healthy Dwyane Wade. And now with the NBA teaming up with Google and all the top social networks, voting is even easier for fans and therefore makes it a disadvantage for a player like DeRozan. Also, Lowry has endorsement deals with BMO, Sport Chek, Roots, Citizen Watches and more. From a visibility standpoint, it makes more sense for fans to vote for Lowry over DeRozan.

Strickland: This idea is not beyond the realm of possibly. Lowry and DeRozan are the third highest scoring backcourt in the league behind the Splash Brothers and the surprising Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum in Portland and have their Raptors in third in the Eastern Conference standings, one game out of first. Not only will the ballots get stuffed for the dynamic duo to start on their home court, but they are earning the distinction by their stellar play. It's only right...

Should Kobe Bryant start in the All-Star Game for the final time?

Watson: Probably not, but he should definitely be there. Bryant is able to compete in a showcase of this calibre; he has owned them for years with four All-Star Game MVP's, to his credit. The fans may put him in there with the legacy vote, but he will be playing, never mind if someone pulls a Vince Carter and allows them to start in his place. It would be a great way for Bryant to go out and I would love to see him on the court again in Toronto, for one last time.

Liverpool: Of course he should, that's a no-brainer. Yes, the black mamba is shooting a career-low 31 per cent from the floor this season, but that's nothing to point fingers at. He is a legend and is going to go down as one of the greatest players of all-time and therefore should be shown the respect he deserves for what he's brought to the game. He's a 17-time NBA All Star, five-time NBA Champion and two-time NBA Finals MVP. Like Spike Lee says, "Do the Right Thing". And if the fans don't vote him in, then Adam Silver should pull some strings to make it happen. It's the least he can do to make up for David Stern blocking the Chris Paul trade back in 2011 that could have potentially gotten Kobe a sixth ring. Do the right thing.

Strickland: No. Be on the team in a honorary fashion during his farewell tour? Absolutely, if for nothing else as a paean to his service and accomplishments during 20 seasons in the Association. If Commissioner Adam Silver is so keen on having Kobe there, create a special exemption to add a 13th player to the Western Conference roster. But don't take away the opportunity of someone like Klay Alexander Thompson, who is rounding into form just before his recent ankle injury or hometown boy making good Andrew Christian Wiggins, who has his Minnesota Timberwolves playing competitively and just a game and a half out of eighth place right now. Sadly, the bleeding hearts and blind eyes of the fan vote may not only have Bryant in the game, but possibly and undeservedly starting.

Nadine Liverpool (@SportsNAYtion) can be found contemplating her nefarious plot to take over All Things Sports while Duane Watson (@duanewatson) and Will Strickland allow their hoops saga to continue on #1On1 with Will & Duane each and every Saturday, 3pm on TSN 1050 Radio.

Tune in and tell a friend! You'll be glad you did!
