I'm assuming it will regress to the mean soon enough



For whatever reason, Niko has historically played his worst ball in February shooting 29.2% from deep. "March Niko" was a big narrative with him on the Bulls. His TS% jumps from .497 to .605 from February to March. His drtg stays the same, while his ortg jumps 10 pts.

He has usually ahd a jump in minutes played and usg% in March, but he just seems to get hot in March. I think once he settles down and starts playing his game, he will take over the bench unit which we desperately need so we can sit AD/Jrue together.

Solo returning will hopefully reduce Mirotic’s minutes. That guy has been getting pretty tired out there lately.

The teams success isn’t dependent on Niko even though he is our most important role player. Jrue and AD make our team go so the primary focus is reduce the minutes/load of those two.

Just as Niko/Mek relieve & take pressure off AD by taking on the bigger guys and spreading the floor, Solo’s main job will be to relieve Jrue of the constant defensive responsibility of the oppositions best perimeter player and reduce his minutes. This will be done mainly by pushing Moore back to SG

After the spurs game tomorrow the team will have 3 days off till they play again on Sunday. The rest will be much needed. 4 games in 6 days.

It is. I thought the point of starting the season a week earlier was to reduce B2Bs...

As good as people are feeling now, the Pels need to bank some wins and go 4-3 or 5-2 or better over the next 7 because the last 15 are tough. For the Pels to end up being a top 4 seed it will take AD playing like Westbrook most nights.

6 seed is best.

1st round 3 6
No warriors.
No rockets.

2nd round, 6 2 no warriors.

I don't get the zest for
4 seed. 4 plays the bay area all stars in round 2.

If you're the 6 seed and you get to the 2nd round you'll likely face the #2 seed which will be one of those 2 teams.

After Corey Brewer’s buyout with the Lakers, a reunion with his college coach Billy Donovan in Oklahoma City is a serious possibility, league sources tell ESPN. He will talk to other teams too.


OKC is 4-6 since Roberson went out for the season. Brewer isn't as good as Roberson, but he could help get them back on track.

Sam Amick? @sam_amick

OKC not expected to make any additions until after March 1, I’m told, but Corey Brewer definitely on their radar. T-Wolves, Jazz, Pelicans also expected to be in mix (already mentioned Cavs, Wiz, Portland, Bucks). Teams also monitoring Trevor Booker situation in Philly.

Corey Brewer isn't what he used to be and he's definitely nothing to get excited about on offense, but he's always been an above average defender. It's a yes for me
