    He spreads the defense, like Ryan Anderson was doing to us.

    One mistake I saw though, regarding how we dealt with Anderson in the lineup. We should have put Aminu on him, instead of Meyers. They had Dante Cunningham out there. He's no threat to hit a 3. We were wasting Aminu's defensive ability.

    some tweeks

    aminu: spike the ball off the opponents face instead of plumlee's when you get beast blocks.

    CJ: stop being so fucking good or we'll never get a lotto pick

    Ed Davis: wear a cup and quit flopping your dick out on the opponents unibrows, it's rude

    Davis is a great pick and roll big, hope to see more of it.

    He was my favorite acquisition this summer. He can flat out play.

    CJ didn't disappear in the 2nd half, he was key to closing out the game. And this is one of Leonard's few bad shooting games.

    Ed Davis is awesome. He's so mobile on defense for a big too. I never worry when he's switched out on a guard.

    I agree that we were wasting Aminu's defense though. Aminu is honestly a revelation on defense. His defense is like Batum's mystical defense that we all believe he played but didn't really.

    Man.... Dante Cunningham blows.

    30 minutes of play and he produced zero points on 0-3 shooting.

    The reason I bought it up is because I hope to not see a trend of over playing our guys when they could use all the rest they could get.

    I guess I needed to write a paragraph to help... damn.

    He's definitely going to be a fan favorite like people were saying.

    Meyers' stat line is exactly the line I expect from him over the course of the season.

    He and Plums as a two-headed monster did pretty well; I wonder if Davis will start after too much longer.

    A whopping minute of running clock isn't going to hurt anyone.

    Plumlee actually had a decent statline. 7/6/6 (assists!) in 18 minutes. I think Plums brings a bit more versatility to the floor than Davis, but what Davis does well (Rebound, defense, rolling) he's good to a T.

    Don't worry, I don't think they wasted that much energy in that minute. Dame only played 36 minutes tonight.

    I think Davis is a much better defender. And it's not like Plumlee is any more skilled than Davis at offense. Though he has a good handle for a guy his size.

    Re-watching the game; Dame is a true toastmaster. He had some things to say and I think he really meant them.
