- The pace quickens considerably with the Mikel/Rivers combo. Crazy small sample size.
- They both just want to get the ball to AD/Ryno.
- Cunningham brings infectious energy that AR used to bring off the bench.

If last night was any indication, I'm hoping we see more of the Mikel, Rivers, Dante, AD, Ryno combo. Jordan is a nightmare match up for our team. When you don't have crazy freak 280 lbs to bully AD/Ryno, the lineup should be able to play with a crazy pace. When Tyreke and Jrue re-entered the game last night, we went from a tiny chance of coming back to no chance. Our offense instantly became the guard black hole oriented offense we are used to. Monty may need to channel his inner Pop Jr. and trust the bench if our starters are going to play that way. Mikel will hopefully allow Monty the opportunity to teach Evans a lesson instead of watching Evans Jr. (Rivers) run our offense.

It was pretty shocking to watch the bench play so well. They turned everything around. We just had no answers for their starters. Paul ran a clinic on Holiday and Evans. Just like Griffin could not be stopped by Davis or Asik. For such a blow out loss, I actually thought we had some good things come out of the game...

Loving the additions so far. Mekel looks to be a very good passer off the bench, which we needed. He complimented Rivers quite well interestingly enough. Cunningham gave us a couple of second chance points which was pretty nice. He definitely showed a lot of energy which is exactly what this team needs. Too bad the starters didn't show up.

Yeah the biggest thing is we have 2 new nba quality bench players.. Gives the team a little more depth. The bench is still bad, but it is improving.

This just shows how terrible Dell was in building this team. He just signed two dudes off the streets to upgrade the bench.

Good to see Luke Babbitt shoot very well last night too. Hope he keeps that up.
