We have really missed him. I felt like there was some serious scoring droughts the last two games that don't happen with him in the lineup.

I feel like we should win this game and the spurs game on Sunday.

The Houston game will be the interesting one.

The biggest difference for me between this season and last?

Last season I was relieved when we had 2 full days off between games; maybe they'll get to work on their defensive principles and people will finally figure out when to switch and when to fight over screens, maybe Beal will get a chance to finally get healthy (ha), maybe the team can do some outings and work on their chemistry...

This year I just want to see them play and I'm angry I have to wait 2 full days for it.

The Suns won this trade, even if they received nothing in return. I feel like we got the Suns back.

Brooks for KD straight up feels like a win. Addition by subtraction plus a new defensive identity and toughness. Not to mention the 8 year age difference.

Grayson Allen is said to be trending in the right direction. He practiced today.

I'm thinking he might be gone before the season is over. He hasn't shown much and he is not young by NBA standards.

yup 15 games and i haven't seen anything resembling an mvp - having a hard time with the defensive system and isn't hitting shots

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

hells yeah good game tonight

I feel bad for him. He finally makes it back to the NBA but has really been struggling to fit in so far. I'm afraid he may be back in the Euro leagues where he flourished.

Who covers Randle tonight? Brooks? Oso? He's going to be a tough cover for us. I guess we'll see what Ott has cooked up.

My guess is Brooks on Randle, Dunn on Ant.
