past two nites in the blender have been fun
it's amazing what even average shooting does for win chances

I still don't understand uncle als rotations though
Frazier and Dante getting minutes from Moore and Jones especially
and we really need hill to do something positive on offense even if it's just clean up

is holidays start sustainable?

I agree. his rotation are confusing at times

I was ok with Frazier last night he was playing well. I did like how he did stay with the line up that got him into OT and not force somebody else in

I wish Dantes talent matched his hustle

i wouldn't be surprised if some of Dante over Jones has to do with Jones still getting used to getting so many minutes. he hasn't played a ton the past few years, so i wonder how his conditioning is.

gentry is figuring it all out with the rotations, and i think once reke comes back you'll start to see rotations that "make more sense"

Frazier dribble game is still needed. Dante is a more sound defender than Jones. v Charlotte and their stretch bigs, i think it made sense. plus, Jones looked a little lost on offense last night.

no. he should put up nice numbers, but %s aren't sustainable. i like where he's getting his shots so far. over 50% FGA at the rim or from 3 plus highest FTr of his career. if it lasts, he will have a very, very good season

i was just looking at the schedule and we play a frick ton of home games early this year. kinda wish that wasn't the case because once everyone is back (assuming nobody else gets injured which well...) then they will have a lot of road games.

They're so good they have to go down, but he has shifted where he's getting his shots from a bit and is getting to the line more like you said, so I do think he can stay above his career averages on the %s.

you could also look at it and say there's no way they win the Boston game or both the past two on the road with a depleted roster. at minimum they should be full strength when the schedule requires maximum talent

His box score stats can stay the same, even with his percentages going down, because I'd imagine he'll soon be playing more minutes than he is currently. I think he could average 20 and 7 and if AD can average nearly 30 they'll be in good shape offensively.

Jrue's sample size is way too small to glean anything real at this point, but it does look good, and wins are the best part.
