    I hope we are not rushing him back.

    i somehow disagreed on all sides: AD should play a lot of minutes at center. and those minutes should be primarily against backup centers. had we kept, say, damian jones, or signed dedmon or dieng, these things could have been possible. instead: dwight/dj.

    oh you know we are (or he's rushing himself and we're not really fighting it). this has just been a disaster all around.

    What did I say above? This is what Vogel texted me last night but I thought it was obvious and I didn’t need to name drop.

    Holster the torches for a few games.

    Great to have him back. He is such a key part of our team and what we want to do defensively. Offensively we need to run more PnR for him.

    Those four blocks were just huge. Such an impact.

    Thought he looked really good out of the gate. Catching lobs and setting the tone with 3 early blocks. He'll get his legs and conditioning soon and will only get better (health permitting).

    It was also nice to see him pick up Harden some on the perimeter.

    he's done that a lot. does a pretty good job not getting baited into fouls, and harden's not quick enough to shed him and get all the way to the bucket without having to look over his shoulder. so he pretty much has to hit a stepback three over a very tall hand.

    Wonder if 2 on 2 against non-NBA players gave him a false sense of where he's at. Probably put up 50/20/20 in 2 minute quarters.
