    Christian huge on some critical rebounds with 10 total tonight and working hard out there. Couple key buckets as well.

    well, i mean, people said it because it was 100% true almost all the time. maybe he's finally gotten that if he just did this stuff (even with the poor offense), he wouldn't be playing for the minimum right now.

    i loved his energy on the defensive boards. if rui wants his minutes back, he should have been taking notes.

    There you go. Looked like he took notes on why Hayes was getting playing time over him. His def rebounding was very needed and then throwing him, a mobile big, on Durant to end the game was great! Keep it up.

    He's playing well and definitely easing my concerns about him. Seems to be earning his time out there and playing hard on both ends.

    GREAT game. Really impressed and shown the defense chaos he and AD can be, even against one of the best scorers all time.
    Really nice to see and looking forward to see more

    Wood can hoop...and he hasn't gotten acclimated yet. Once his deep ball comes around, he's going to be a very useful piece on this team. Folks just aren't familiar with his game. Some nights he looks like a traditional big, other nights, he's a knock down, jump shooting stretch 4. He has a lot of qualities that we can utilize.

    Now that Christian is getting his legs back under him he is looking pretty good. With that of defense and rebounding and we know he can shoot I wouldn't mind seeing what he looks like as a starter. When Vando is back, AD, LeCoach, CW, Vando and Reaves would be a fun line up.

    Too big a lineup for Ham.

    Makes no sense that lineup, unless you want AD jacking 3s left and right. You have 3 guys who are not drivers nor great shooters, it's a mess in a 5-out scheme. It's not the height, it's the skill

    The five out scheme is the mess with the line up we have. That is a solid defensive line up you could build an offense around. Be just a little creative and have some fun. I know, I know, you like your box...lol.

    Since the trade deadline we had much more success than in the past year and a half. I don't think it's the time for that much creativity, big changes and want everything new.
    Ham earned my trust with what he have shown since he arrived. This team has a lot of tools and I don't think we have to go that outside of the box. Just trust the process, season just started.
    I'm very competitive, my fun is winning.

    On paper that lineup doesn't make sense and I gave the arguments. It's only my opinion and I'm no expert in basketball and I'm wrong many times. But I don't see that working
