Yup. Could very quickly find ourselves 2-3.

Here's hoping White returns intime for the baby with the Lakers

[Rummpd]

Zion is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest, forwards in the league. He'll be a good benchmark to see where Keldon is physically. If he holds his own, then he's a top tier athlete in the NBA.

Edit: LeBron might be the strongest over Zion, actually

LaRoids is probably that.

LaRoids is probably that.

Nephew and Zion are probably tied for second place

well in some other news, the Mavs are leading the Clips, 70-23. is an embarrasement.
Lets see where number 2 runs off to next.

Hopefully there will be a decent stream today, sinclair can go eat a fat one

Only 23 points in a half in today's NBA game is probably one if the saddest things I have ever seen and its not like the Mavs are a defensive juggernaut.

[timvp]

77-27? At the half?

Thanks uncle Dennis

[Degoat]

Glad to see Ty Lue is getting exposed as a coach too

[C-Dub]

Good game especially on a Back to Back to start Lyles against Zion. I'm not a Lyles fan by a long shot but Keldon went hard last night and could use less minutes tonight. Hope to see some Eubanks against Zion as well. If Lyles gets torched, play Eubanks. If both get torched than give Luka a shot. 10 or 11 man rotation tonight after playing last night.

DJM, Patty
LW4, Vassell
DDR, Keldon
Lyles, Eubanks, Luka
LMA, Poeltl

[TD 21]

S bag isn't going anywhere. What'll happen is if they continuously under achieve, virtually everyone else will be the fall guy at one point or another.

Interested to see if they start Johnson on Williamson. There's really no one suited to defending him anyway (Poeltl might be the best bet), but at least Aldridge, Gay and Lyles, wouldn't requite immediate fronting or doubling on the catch.

We're 1-18 on threes. Let's shoot some more threes.

[Dex]

Mavericks straight up embarrassing the Clippers at this point. They are still nearly up 50 going into the 4th

Damn clippers suck

The difference has been that Walker's athleticism and Johnson's tenacity adds a lot over what Forbes and Lyles brought. That and DeRozan shooting more just adds a ton of dynamism to the first unit. I don't think the bench is really better, though Vassell might end up being a huge improvement over Beli.

this too

the difference between what happens when Lyles catches the ball off a drive and kick and what happens with Keldon cannot be understated, and that ends up meshing much better with derozan's game

I love that they're sticking with the lineup. Hope it works out.
