    Again, the clutch performance of this team is incredible. That's what went well. That and Bron made some really good decisions in the 4th. Bad: 3-pt shooting was atrocious. Fortunately, by both teams, so it's alright.

    Also, OKC lost, Denver is so short handed they lost again, and will keep losing more games... The Rockets and the Spurs lost yesterday, so this is working well for us so far. That and the super easy schedule in January. We have to win at least 12 games out of 16 and I think we're perfectly capable of doing that. AR should be coming back after that.

    No one in the NBA is really streaking at the moment. The longest win streak is 3 (we’re at 2) and only 4 teams have a 7-3 record over the last 10 (Boston, Chicago, Phoenix and San Antonio). Pretty well everyone is going through some kind of malaise.

    Makes me wonder if it’ll make teams more open to trading for better fitting pieces and we get a bit of movement. I’m sure Rui can help some team with too many guards.

    Problem for the Lakers is Rui is really flawed player but he's about the only reliable 3 point shooter they have. Tricky situation

    Thybulle is also a flawed player, we won’t get some two way wonder. But we may be able to swap a poor fit for a better one and have the team we’re trading with improve in the process too.
