Hypothetically, would you be willing to trade for James Harden if we don't have to give up Dame?

    He looks noticeably bigger and his defense looked pretty good.

    RoCo is streaky. He'll have 5 really good shooting games then 5 games where he's in a slump. He's starting off the season in a slump but this is the first game he's gotten a clean catch-and-shoot look all season. I expect it to come around, and this team will be deadly if we're moving the ball, cutting well, and if RoCo's on from 3. We'll exploit the attention Dame gets by doing that.

    Hate to say it but RoCo and DJJ are 0/8 from 3 and 3/14 overall. Yikes. Love their D though

    He is being lazy on most every pass because he is gassed. He needs to get in shape. We need to see the beast again.

    The more I watch him, the more I am ok with including him for Harden

    Swanigan is just bad. Nothing to develop.

    Start Kanter and have Zach as the backup.

    The rim has been tilted the whole game. Now that the Lakers are playing on that end they are fixing it

    I saw it earlier in the game when they showed a closeup of the rim in the 1st quarter

    Jones Jr and Covington seem to have a nose for the ball and being in the right places. Also gives us much more versatility defensively. I’m a fan of the pick ups

    Hope Dame goes unconscious like that 3rd quarter of the Kobe tribute game

    Having RoCo to defend Davis is huge.

    I wish Dame got the kind of calls that Wade and Harden get/got.
