    Bazemore can have some good games too, where he hits some threes. At least he had a nice assist in tonights game.

    Trent has seen 0 minutes since the last time he played where he worked on both ends of the court.

    Bazemore is frustrating, just a different kind of frustrating.

    I think you could even say mores since Turner's weakness's weren't fixable.

    Baze could be pretty useful if he could channel his energy better.

    I'm absolutely loving what Little brings to the team. He provides some things that this team lacks, like athleticism, hustle, and boundless energy!

    All of NBA twitter needs to get the FOH with this single half +/- for Melo right now. This dude will help.

    He'll grow into that. At 6'4" and what looks like 112 lbs, if he seeks contact, he might break something.

    The hustle and effort that Little is showing tonight is exactly why I was begging for Stotts to put him in against Pascal when he was lighting us up. Ugh wish Stotts would have tried him sooner.

    Baze and Mario have lost confidence in their shot so far....you can see them freeze before shooting jumpers more often than not...hopefully they'll shake those nerves...

    The front court doesn't look so crappy anymore. Little is everywhere and if we can use Carmelo right, he's murder when he's single teamed near the hoop.

    edit: want to see them playing together.

    Definitely looking forward to seeing Dame and Melo on the floor together.

    He might be our best screen and roll/pop threat this side of Nurkic. Dude actually makes contact on screens

    The main issue with him has been decision making on both ends.

    That doesn't decline at 30. Actually the opposite.

    Rodney Hood is such an underrated defender.

    Fight me.
