    Clavell slipped on nearly the same spot on the court that Ant did a couple games ago.

    Trent with back-to-back step-back jumpers in the paint. I guess he can make stop back shots when he's close.

    Trent with the great drive, protecting the ball and finishing through contact.
    Then he drives again the next time down, but the refs swallow their whistle as he gets pummeled.

    I do think his step back is pretty good though. Comparatively speaking to most young players.

    Hoard reminds me of Mo a bit -- the length, how natural he looks dribbling. Daum's done a lot of little things; too bad we didn't get to see more of him.

    Lol, that's exactly what I was thinking after Hoard made that drive and spin move to score at the hoop. It's like you read my mind.

    Hoard reminds me little bit Rabb type of body.

    They are playing well for the most part. I’m surprised.

    I'm tired of hearing this "there's a reason Zion was out of shape, he was too busy marketing himself" narrative.

    Zion needs get over himself and get out there and his ass in shape.

    It reminds me a bit of the old Patrick Ewing quote: "We make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money."

    He's going to go down in history as quite possibly the most over-hyped player of all time.

    I don't know why everyone gets on Trent's case. Is it because he's streaky?

    Trent takes a kick to the face after a great steal. Ouch!

    Because he still hasn't figured out to give the ball up a little more. That he can probably get a better look by giving it up and making a move without the ball to get it back. I think he and CJ get overcriticized for the same reason, personally.

    They don't like him shooting all time even that's why they draft him. They also don't look at his overall game that has improved a lot from last year.

    No. If anyone becomes notable you call recall their history that few people watched.
