    I like his minutes with Bron. He can shoot and put the ball on the floor and finish with either hand. He D on Mills down the stretch was nice.

    I hope he starts

    At least on offense, he brings what KCP brought you ability to shoot off the dribble plus more ability to go one on one.
    Really would like to see him with Reaves and THT more.

    Great fit with Lebron

    Offensively, he hasn't missed a beat. Fits very well with LeBron.

    Another great game.



    Anyway we can resign him for the mid-level? I know we don't have his bird rights so it'll be tough.

    He has some bad habits on defense: particularly off the ball he was in a bad position to contest the swing pass.

    Other then that what a find. He could be a 6th man of the year type. No coincidence Lakers went from being blown out to being competitive again. Night and day difference when a guy likeoml is getting minutes be IT and Rondo

    Yeah, he's definitely not a good defender and I doubt he ever will be. He's went from awful to bad/sometimes average. He's still been a net positive on whole the year, and is the type of player that needs to be around Lebron/AD while we still have them as our core.

    Rocking the game high 40 minutes. When he's cooking, it's nice to have a young guy you can entrust that kind of playing time to and get results.


    I know he can dunk. But every time he pulls out one of these, it catches me off guard.

    He at least tries on defense. His not super tall so he doesn't have much leeway to make up for mistakes.

    Still I was real worried after the GS game when Poole just had his way with him that he'd be unplayable. Instead looks like he's steadily gotten better on defense.

    On offense he's such a great compliment to a star. Can shoot off the dribble off the catch and shoot can finish and drive

    I love this guy. He’s sort of like a taller Lou Williams. No, he isn’t a defender, but every team needs a guy that can just get you buckets.

    Such a good offensive player. Everyone needs a player like that off the bench. I really like having him and Melo on the team. They were brought in a specific role and they both delivered.

    he's the one guy I would keep for next season if he's willing to take another minimum or MLE.

    i'll argue with you and fiz. their games are actually pretty different, imo. lou's an isolation/pick and roll scorer, and monk gets more of his off others creation with iso/pick and roll as smaller part of his game. fiz was just talking about demeanor or whatever.
