    Against second units with no legit center, most certainly.

    Right now we have 4 minus defenders on the court. You only need to have 1 on there for teams to take advantage of.

    great flow on offense since Harry came on.

    Really dug that last possession too. Dame got rid of it before the double, swing swing to a bread and butter shot for Melo.

    Impressed with Giles. High basketball IQ. Understands angles, positioning and relocating. Has a relentless motor.

    Bad as we play we only down by 7. Close the quarter out pretty good. But we only had 10 assists that should be higher with all the scorers we have. The bench score 22 points that half.

    Like to see the offense go through Nurk up high with Giles and DJ cutting to the hoop.

    Ugh. We say that every year hoping, as great coaches who have accomplished so much more end up available.

    What is Stotts doing? He thinks this is our best lineup to start the half?!?

    Has Stotts told his players that when Giles is in the game...."CUT TO THE BASKET!"
    Haven't seen it once yet.

    Interesting 2nd half starting lineup. Blevins AND Elleby?
