    I really hope Ingram is starting next to Deng before long. I think Randle is better off the bench.

    My ideal lineup would be Russell/Clarkson/Ingram/Nance/Moz

    Nance over Deng? Why is that? IMO, Nance is 3rd at PF, but could definitely get minutes at the 3.

    I think Randle would be worse off the bench. A Deng/Mozgov frontcourt could cover his defensive deficiencies better than Ingram/Black.

    I agree with that I'd want him in with Mozgov.

    Some ugh interesting rotations to say the least, but I love how he's encouraging yet teaching the young guys at the same time and the offense looked so much better. Better spacing. Better flow. Better movement. Defense needs ALOT of work, but it was much better in the second half.

    I just like Nance's hustle and energy at the position. Deng proved me wrong tonight with his leadership.

    We would've lost this game last year by 20.

    Luke went with the starting lineup I wanted

    Russ
    Young
    Deng
    Randle
    Mozgov

    I loved it.

    Luke is such a breath of fresh air. Putting together lineups that make sense, while still being open to trying things

    I believe he finished with the Lineup of DLO/JC/Nick/Deng/Moz that I wanted.

    Russ/Young/Deng/Randle/Mozgov
    Lou/JC/Ingram/Nance/Black

    I'd run with that for the foreseeable future.

    We finally ran them off the 3pts line in the 2nd half .

    Rotations looked fine during the game ( minus the Metta one ).

    Didn't like Calderon not suiting up , unless he's hurt

    Our biggest problem was talking to each other and calling out rotations. Lots of blown rotations for layups and slams. Luke will correct this ASAP I'm sure

    And a lot of stupid fouls too. I know Harden is good at drawing them, but 50 feet from the basket just isn't smart.

    What are these things called "in game adjustments" you hint at?

    We allowed middle penetration way too much , we need to prevent opponents guards to use screens this easily
