    It's time to start Brandon Ingram.

    I'm starting to agree with this. It might take some pressure off Russell to be the primary ball handler and play maker.

    Hmm, we have the best bench in the league so I wouldn't want to mess with what's working. I'd experiment starting Calderon and sliding Russell and Young to the 2/3 spot though.

    Deng took umbrage when first signed to the suggestions he was getting up in years and said he was only 31. Fine. Lock his a** in the gym with a staff member to monitor until he gets his shot back. :Magic Brows:

    I'm wondering if Deng was 31 5 years ago. He doesn't look 31 like his Chinese counterpart.

    Seriously. He looks 37 out there. He looks cooked. He can't keep up on D and his shot is broken. Not a good combo for 18 mill per. I'm pretty shocked at how bad he is.

    I would have never thought the Mosgov signing would end up being better then the deng signing but man deng has looked awful. I've never followed his career is he a slow starter?

    Based on last yr in mia i guess could be the case. I think only his fg% will increase, as far as his on court impact and defensive side, i dont forsee much improvement, keep expecting inability to defend well amd generally slow on everything

    Can he take a quick break and go to Germany for the Kobe knee thing? On his whole body?

    He likes to go off on the Nets.
    Impressive shooting night straight out of the gate, he stayed aggressive and that made the starters look better.

    Breakout game for Russell. He had it going all night. Great rebounding as well!

    Finally a breakout game for Russell!

    We are going to need him in good form in the next few games.
