    LA has been doubled almost every time which means another player has to get free, I don't put that on LA. He's been playing good.

    I think you're maybe expecting a revolution in his game instead of maybe just an evolution? LMA's bread and butter will almost assuredly be the mid-range shot.

    Defend the perimeter. No wide open 3's like we always give up.

    Not a very tough task.

    I want more than 8 and 7 out of my supposed All-Star... He makes more than to expect that nightly.

    Batum has 3 more boards in 13 less minutes. Also, can the guy add something to his arsenal besides a face-up jumper?

    I'm expecting that, when one-on-one with a smaller/less capable defender on him one-on-one, that he would not shoot a fadeaway jumper. The mid-range shot off of the pop in rhythm is one thing. There's almost no reason for him to shoot a fadeaway 15-footer.

    it's working out, but I'm wondering why Nash and Richardson have been open for the last two three pointers. It's not like they haven't accounted for over half their points.

    In Nate I trust!

    I've found myself several times, during the game (only seen the 2nd half) questioning Nate's substitutions but I think he out-smarted me (and Alvin Gentry). I see our 9 man rotation as being extremely tough. Armon Johnson should work hard about making the right pass after you cut the defense, but I like him, he's from the Dante-mold.
    Also, Andre Miller proved his worth. Way to go, Andre!
