    Doesn't the lineup with the hedgehog, Reeves, and DLO have a high + - rating or something? I'm not a big stats guy but I thought I read that somewhere.

    It has to be magnitudes better than the Hobo, Brick and Dennis.

    2 sloths and a tortoise would be better than those guys together.

    Yes. They have a great +/- and I imagine AR has a lot to do with it. But on offense, it's horrid, each time (and it happens a lot) Dennis has the ball.

    @Weezy posted a link in the gametime chat to a video of AD getting pissed at Dennis for not even looking in the direction of the basket. He was literally with his back to the rim dribbling around.

    Bacon should take the ball from his hands and use him as Vogel did with Avery... but alas, Bacon Pimple is no Vogel.

    Schroder has been good but I agree he's annoying sometimes on offense. It should be AR or D-Lo handling the ball as much as possible.

    I also don't like when we use Schroder as a primary defender on the oppposing team's bigger shooting guard. That's not his strength - put him on PG's only - not shooting guards who are bigger than him.

    Last night how can you miss your 7 foot teammate being guarded by Chris Paul in the paint? It was so absurd. He was even waving his arms, jumping up and down. LOL!

    I don't mind him handling the ball in pick and roll sometimes as it allows the other guys to space the floor and they are better shooters.

    Dennis still generates 0.90 points per possession as the pick and roll ball handler which is still above average.

    NBA basketball is high level competition, guys aren't going to make every right decision in every scenario. The other teams have players making millions of dollars, to play basketball too. Win the game and keep it moving.

    Nobody has ever confused Dennis with a pass first PG. His first three options are shots for himself.

    I think Schroeder even if leaves should be embraced by the fans like guys like Caruso when they play in Crypto.
    He's laid out on the line this year

    Perfect game for Dennis to shine. Very very good. Still not a PG.

    I wonder what his fourth quarter stats are on the year, feels like there have been so many games where he kept us afloat by catching fire in the fourth. It’s crazy how much more confident I am when he throws up a 3 in the fourth quarter compared to earlier in the game

    That sequence where he made back to back defensive plays to save two easy buckets for OKC was the highlight of the night.
