    All star

    Pull the trigger on the Lavine trade and let's go. Give them some unprotected firsts and give AR a running mate he deserves. No more Dlos, Gabe's, Lonnies, even hedgehogs. Get this man the keys to a Ferrari in the backcourt and let's go

    He is HIM! 35 points and a near triple double. That’ll work.

    He must have at least 4 great moves to the rim that rimmed out or didn’t go down. Easily could have been over 40. Some of those moves …. crazy …. keeps breaking out stuff in real time that we haven’t seen.

    All the angst about him handling pressure on ball of course has some merit. But he’s aware he has to get better and better at it ….. and look what has been unlocked when all doubt about who is the primary PG or whatever you want to call him is gone and as Pioneer says he’s effectively been given the keys to run the offense. It’s what he’s done his whole life in basketball and wants to do. Clearly he’s capable of playing at this higher level and keeps adding to his game. I pushed back last year at “career cappers” stating he was basically then at his peak and all he was ever going to be. Look at the sheer uptick at attacking the basket to score or dish out in so many ways and his elite upper per centile in the entire league scoring at the rim.

    :rock: :cool:

    Beasted last night.
    Too bad it was wasted against a far superior team.

    We don’t give average players special attention just because they are white SMH

    We gave him attention when Frankenstein McHale clotheslined him. That was enough for Clark Kent.

    Russell's departure gives Reaves an opportunity to grow/expand his overall game...

    This AR is what we have been waiting for. He elevates our team to a new level playing like this, looking forward to more of it and seeing if it's sustainable
