    Really liked our bench v their bench coming in, along with Nurk v Mahimi.

    Evan went a little crazy with the outside shots early just after I said he was doing a nice job playing within himself. He seems to have gotten back to playing who he is: A facilitator who can get you some points attacking the basket.

    I like this even turner. Backup of is clearly the role for him. Does not look good on Stotts for not figuring that out.

    Just as long you give Dame and CJ some rest they will finish strong in the 4th qtr.

    The more Zach plays like this, the more I think about the possibility of trading Nurkic for a good forward to open up the starting C job for him... I feel like that'll happen in the next couple of years.

    Ed Davis is certainly not the rim protector Zach is.
    I'd say we're better this year with Zach at the 5, than we would've been with Ed at the 5.

    Zach seems tailor made to counter those small ball lineups

    Letting Ed Davis go was the right move... Can't believe I'm saying that.

    This strikes me as a bit of an odd game so far.

    I like Oubre. There is no way they can pay him what he's worth with the huge Porter/Wall/Beal contracts.

    Out of all the players to rotate off of, Bradly Beal should not be the one guy.
