That's just weird. I thought Miles was a much better player, but Mason is younger (maybe more potential?)..

It looks like they are going to go with one pivot player (Davis, Plumlee or Cousins), a stretch/undersized 4 (Faried, Parsons or Gay) and then 3 guards. I like it when they put 2 PGs out there. Brazil just couldn't keep up..

I still don't like Harden's game. He just barrels at the rim and throws crap up. The refs keep bailing him out, but he initiates all the contact. Just ugly basketball..

Harden didn't get bailed out nearly as much tonight as he does in a typical NBA game.

If he could throw a lob AD would've had about 8 more points.

Not a bad showing at all considering all the drama the last few weeks. Offense was disjointed, but they will fix that. Defense was good enough, but can still clean it up.

A few player thoughts:

Thompson looked bad. Very bad

Not terribly impressed with Plumlee either. He looked good in garbage time. Not so much otherwise. If Cousins is healthy and Plumlee is ahead of him, that is a joke. I dont care about fit.

Faried is a problem too. If he is starting with Davis, he kills spacing. And he is just a bad defender in space. Love his energy and rebounding in short bursts though.

Irving looked locked in.

Great to see Rose show some of the old burst.

Harden refuses to pass to anyone, but he got 11FTS.

Would like to see more Korver.

Davis is the best and most important guy on the team.
