On the court...not talking about some of the stuff in the Arena like no stats and the like.

1) Jrue was obviously extremely rusty offensively. He played good Defense and got in more of a rhythm as the game went on, but he just wasn't doing much on that end of the court.

2) Free Throws. We know that Asik is going to be bad at them. But this team was abysmal last night. If they shoot even 70% from the line, this game is even more of a blowout. Even Ryno missed his first two. Rivers still bricked a few. That has to improve.

3) This is nitpicking, but Tyreke, once again, gets tunnel vision on the break and when he penetrates. He needs to get better at, on occasion, passing it to an open runner.

4) 3 Point Shooting. Outside of Ryno, it was pretty damn bad. Jrue, EG, Jimmer and Rivers need to knock those down at a respectable rate for this team to compete with good competition.

5) John Salmons and the backup SF. This has already been discussed a bunch, but this is a massive hole in a team that I really like otherwise. They have to find some production there with a player on the roster or via trade.

I'm not trying to be negative. WAY more positives than anything else. Monty didn't even piss me off. The game was awesome last night and I had a blast. This team will be fun as hell to watch. Just opening up more discussion.

Apparently everything but AD according to this article. LINK

My biggest negative takeaway was Holiday. I think someone said he said he was at 80% before the game. Why isn't he at 100% yet? Does it take that long to get into playing shape?

I'm also not sure what to make of Gordon. I like that he's quicker and hustling effectively on defense, but he needs to get back in the ball park of 20 points per 36 minutes if he's going to opt out or get traded.

Free throws.



Monty taking out AD with 2 minutes left to get the triple double.

We allowed the Magic to get a lead on us early with Oladipo out of the picture.
