Man, Duke choked so hard.

This just measures the time spent guarding each position.  It does not reflect performance.  Markkanen is #1.

Watching an episode of Hard Knocks.  They are following the NFC East this season, and they were showing the Cowboys game in Detroit.  The showed a shot of Jerry Jones in his box and who is behind him?  Cade Cunningham.  I forgot he grew up friends with Jerry's grandson.

Robinson listed as probable.  LeVert is questionable.

I wish he was more of a PG

JB is just awful with coach challenges.

The zone still messes Detroit up.

I would not take a bag of balls for him.  Not my favorite player but too often guys break out in their third or fourth year.

I think we should be looking at another big.  The team is built on defense and I think a two big lineup maximizes our defensive potential, especially when Stewart is on the court as one of them.

That 4th quarter defense was insanely good from guys like Ausar, Holland, Stew, and Green. I felt like I was counting off stock after stock for about 6 minutes of game time. 16 Steals and 10 Blocks total with Ausar having 7 stocks, Stew having 5, and every player in the starting lineup getting at least 1 steal. Held Charlotte to under 90 points. Great stuff.

I've been meaning to call this out as well.

It's really weird because last year I distinctly recall commenting about how good they were with their challenges, especially after the Monty season where he couldn't ever get one right.

This year the problem I'm seeing is JB goes too far with wanting to show his trust in the guys and be their buddy. I see them pleading with him to challenge and him doing it when he should be trusting the guys behind the bench with the iPads.

lamelo scored 8 points in the first minute or so and then did almost nothing the rest of the game except complain.

great talent, but a loser player.  maybe its because he's in a bad organization, but he seems more in it for lamelo than winning.

This is why you can't take him off the floor regardless of his shooting. Getting stops and creating easy buckets on the other end more than makes up for his lack of shooting.

JB playing him less than 30 minutes a game is a crime that I'm sure we'll revisit come playoff time just like last year when it cost us the series with the Knicks.
