Outside of AD

- 2nd half defense looked more competent. halftime adjustments were made that got things working. forced lots of turnovers

- Lance looked like Lance from a few years ago. he may provide a decent spark off the bench with the 2nd unit.

- Frazier looked really great dishing the ball. the one positive of having Jrue/Reke/Quincy out is that some of these guys get serious minutes that will help them come 2017.

We still gave up lots of open 3s, but luckily Denver couldn't seem to make them late in the 4th

there were some open 3s, but some of those were from guys you don't mind taking them like i remember gallinari taking one i think.

First half gave me cancer.


Second half put it in remission.

Seemed to get into our offense really fast.

If Airz..., I mean Amin..., I mean Solomon Hill could start knocking down some of those wide open 3s we'd be in decent shape.

Moore lead the team in NetRtg. 18.4 with him on the court, -32.1 with him off. LINK My plans to trade him may be foiled by everyone else sucking.

Moore is good. Once Jrue is back we have a fairly solid defensive lineup in theory.

Where are the 3s and Rebounds going to come from is my question.

I think Buddy will get it together and be a 3 point threat. He looked like a rookie trying too hard tonight. Rebounds are harder to figure. It's a serious problem and that probably won't improve until a move is made.

Send Diallo DLeaguing once 2 of Jrue/Reke/Qpon are back.

If he does well start getting him some minutes here. It can't be that much worse.

The outside shooting from the Pels was fricking pathetic. Literally no one can make any. The only ones who are capable shooters are Hield and Moore.

Asik was decent last night. He had a couple of bad misses, but the defense and rebounding were noticably worse without him on the court.

Ajinça looked even slower last night.

The meltdowns on the board are ridiculous. People come out of the woodworks just to bitch about things that we already knew


They played hard, defense was much better in the 2nd half. Shooting from deep was abysmal- doubt it becomes good, but I expect something closer to 35?....which would have been an extra 9 points tonight. This is a 38-42 win team w/ Holiday. w/o 30-35.


Questions from tonight are the same as before:

where does offense come from w/o Holiday? things got stagnant in a hurry. Davis can't bail them out every night

who will help Davis rebound?

how long can Hill/Asik play together? Like many said,hill has to be a 4 if he's playing in crunch time.....but he will have to rebound much better

AD was amazing and I love him dribbling on the fastbreaks and be has some nice post moves now.

I really like how the offense flows through AD

I liked the ball movement on offense and how aggressive the defense is. We created so many turnovers which was great

I liked Moore, Lance (just needs to slow down at times), buddy looked like a rookie, Frazer was solid and his passing is great.

Asik was better, Langston looked OK same with Jones

I was not impressed by Hill or Ajenca

I am excited about this team but I do feel like was not have our role players set now we need to get AD so real help. Still about a year away

As it should. That's our best chance.

When Buddy gets acclimated it should be fun to watch.
