    Gasol is practically a walking corpse at this point, isn't he? He's an emergency insurance policy and great practice partner/mentor.

    I thought Tolliver was supposed to be one of the best 3 point shooters in the league? Or, at least, one of the better ones? What the fuck?

    Hassan looks like a monster. Baze is great on Defense.

    Beyond that, it's a shit show.

    Ant looks a bit rushed tonight, think his first meaningful minutes is giving him the jitters. Hopefully the break will settle him down a bit.

    I assumed Tolliver was signed to play maybe 10 minutes a game and mostly be an injury replacement down the road.

    Stotts needs to use the challenge on a Zach fould each and every game. Otherwise the refs will have him on the bench.

    No way he’s worse than Tolliver. I guarantee he would of at least registered a stat in 12 min.

    He's missed one shot. I know he hasn't done anything else but c'mon 40% is a great shooter in the NBA. That's 4 out of 10. Let's criticize the rest of his game so far first.

    Im Encouraged ZMan looking good and Hassan can protect the rim.
    Get Mario pushing the ball and Baze in the corner will be fine.

    I think he should be able to play 10 minutes a game, though he'll probably get injured again at some point. But can anyone tell me when he's supposed to be ready to suit up?

    no, but Nas might get that nod if Pau doesn't play early..Trent is Bazemore's backup from what I see...he's our Wade Baldwin

    Collins has three fouls and committed none of them. Jokic has three and committed every one.
