    That's the thing... We know he can hit shots. He seems to have gotten even worse (somehow?) as a rebounder, and he's still not an average defender. People always see the offensive production and think "Is he for real? Maybe he could help!"... I'll only feel that way once he starts doing the little things better (yeah right)...

    You know the game thread is going to be poppin when Meyers come in.

    I wonder if Denny orchestrated it so Ed leaves and Meyers has to play more... thus more posts for S2? LOL.

    I guess... Would've liked to give Simons 1st half reps so that he could review his play at halftime and try to adjust and improve.

    CJ had Meyers on the roll at the end... Left hand hook pass was there.

    If I remember right, Meyers on the floor is a negative without even looking at the box score.

    That was an embarrassing end by CJ.

    Man, I hope we have a better game plan than this in the regular season!

    Trent already looks better. Much more BB IQ.

    If he was going to improve he would have done it by now. The guy is allergic to contract.

    I'm not seeing much difference so far. Just different players.

    The bench got 31 points that half. We dish out 12 assist also. Leonard continue to be good on offense and finally grab a couple boards. Collins hit couple shots too.

    Ehhh Trent looks slow to me. He doesn't seem to have burst. There's been a couple possessions where it looked like he had an opening to drive to the rim but he didn't have the burst to take advantage of it so he settled for a step-back mid-range jumper. Saw this in the Raptors game too.

    If I was going to say something positive about Meyers, it would start with his bank account and end with his wife. And that's all I got.

    We're making 3s. Still want to see how we react to missing 3s and if we have sets and actions that can help us get layups that aren't through basic pick n roll and guarded dribble drives.
