    Clippers get smashed by 50 and Lakers win by nearly 30. I slept like a puppy.

    Kuz and THT very good last night.

    Every minute THT is out there is vital to his development. I can't believe he's only 20

    Crazy to see those numbers because with the eye test, the offense has looked only okay.

    when they don't turn it over, it's looked pretty good, imo. the turnovers need to come down a bit, which will also make the defense's job easier.

    Honestly though the offense looked phenomenal against Dallas and when AD sat against Minny. Part of the thing is AD hasn't been aggressive much of the time and that's hampered us.

    I think it's looked loaded and our wins have come because we have waves of talent to throw out there. But it certainly looks like a work in progress between timing, chemistry, rotations, rust, in game load management, AD in pre- season gear (or hurt). Putting those numbers during the figuring it out period should really worry the rest of the league.

    yeah, they've been very preseason-ish, and they've been beating teams or competing anyway. dallas played their second-best game of their season (they played terribly against charlotte and blah against phx) and got handled pretty easily against the lakers coasting.

    i'm not worried about AD, but if he were playing like himself, we'd be undefeated and not played a close game, imo. then again, paul george and gary trent having out of body experiences did matter.
