    He shot poorly, and he had the three TOs, but he had 7 dimes and 4 boards. Like Julius he has to keep doing that when his shot isn't falling.

    I'm sure he'll come around. Many young players get discouraged when their shots aren't falling.

    his defense and general game management were atrocious as well. just a really bad game. it happens; his was just punctuated by a couple of monumentally stupid plays.

    clock is ticking on him taking his job seriously...

    I'm not saying he did enough, by the way. Feeding off Nwaba's intensity would erase a lot of mistakes for all these guys. Especially with the Paint Monster in there to protect the rim.

    If it doesn't trim right, let me know and I can probably overlap their bodies a bit to fit better without much issue.

    I just chuckle at the photo because I realize there is a story behind it while not knowing where it came from or the the actual (reference). And knowing sirron.

    If you listen closely, you can hear BS snickering.

    Don't get the move at all. Clarkson is not going to be our starting PG of the future, and Russ has a fragile.. ego? Psyche? Clarkson can play PG, but bad things happen when he has the all too much, and his defense isn't any better than Russell's. I don't see that Russ has done anything other than have one bad game (which he's been kind of disproportionately killed for in the media today) to warrant a demotion. Unless this is a move to improve the bench unit or give Russ control of the bench unit, again, don't get it. We saw this sort of experimenting with B0ron already. Maybe this has Magic'a hands on it, because honestly in Luke's interview just now he didn't sound very convincing.

    Seems like an odd move if we want to convince Bird he's worth giving up George for.

    I don't think this is a good move to be honest but we'll see how many minutes he gets. Don't see how this helps him or even his trade value if we're trying to move him this summer.

    Right. Doesn't make sense to me. He's been playing well overall. Gotta think there was some behind the scenes stuff here.
