    yeah no, that's not worth 18M... you know who deserves that much for his leadership and excellent play on the court? No. 23.

    I like what Luke has been doing line up wise. Love the bench unit of Lou/JC/Ingram/Nance/Black. They get us back into games or extend the lead, reminiscent of Bench Mob.

    The starters though, something about it that leads to slow starts or dull sequences. It takes Russ a little a little bit to get going as a playmaker, Deng isn't exactly a go to shot creator on the wing when you need one. The WMC here is that maybe they should go to Mozgov more often early in the post. He's playing the Bogut role but he's not exactly Bogut offensively, he's actually got some moves out there.

    Yesterday, after our initial 8-0 outburst it took us a bit to get it going again, normally GSW would have probably took the game over here but Curry and Klay were frozen, luckily.

    ...all these fouls. We were in the penalty around the 9 minute mark last night. Collins threw a stat out last night that we are in the high 20's when it came to committing them? Still learning so.

    I know people don't love the stats on these questions, but he's 5th best on our team in Defensive Win Shares, 3rd in Defensive Box Plus/Minus, and 5th in DRtg. I thought his defense looked good from what I saw last night.

    Deng is quiet, but he hasn't been playing garbage IMO.

    He's still playing the right way, making solid defensive plays, and good decisions out there.

    Deng's rotations has been solid. His offense has been uneven but he's picking his spots. Deng is out there with Moz to stabilize the starters much like Williams is with the second unit.

    This should be the easiest of the 3, by far.

    Atlanta was a tough game. on the road, tail end of back to back, against an unbeaten team. we were down double digits in the 2nd half. no quit in this team.

    Last year the only team we could say we should beat was the 76'ers

    Is Booker officially ahead of Russell now?

    It seems like Myles Turner and Booker are having very good starts to the season.

    Russell is having a slow start offensively.

    Hate that we lost Larry Nance Jr. We've got several winnable games coming up.

    Deng needs to play better, contribute more now that Nance is temporarily out.

    I'm still not worried about Russell yet.

    I'd say Booker is better than Clarkson though.
