    That means jack shit in relation to his talent level. Adam Morrison won 2 titles, so he must be super talented.

    Bell was in Golden State's rotation and played a part in them winning it. Morrison was not.

    But some of 'their' scrubs were playing when were were getting down 27. Teague, Okogie....they were part of dismantling the starters.

    Even though our rookies, 2nd year players may be young or not have the developed talent yet, they are putting in SO MUCH more effort. That is what I want to see that has not been the case on many nights.

    16-23. Back in 1993-94 season, the Pacers started the season 16-23. They signed Haywood Workman (yes the guy who is a ref now) and went on a big run all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals and had a 3-2 lead. Anything is possible.

    Our young guys are outplaying our vets (Tolliver's bricks and Bazemore's careless turnovers)

    On the plus side, Little and Hoard are looking good.

    Just keep reminding myself that we may only be a couple months away from watching our front court of the future finally play some together and start building chemistry.

    The adjustments I saw from Stotts defensively--specifically how he chose to trap side ball screens and hand offs coming out of the corner to better use Zach and Hassan's rim protection when they were on the weakside and not involved directly in the action--has me excited to see the what we could look like out there with Nurks quicker feet, reactions and better positioning.

    Zach looking notably more comfortable from the 3, mid range and making high-low passes also has me optimistic that they can have some nice synergy offensively as well.

    You know who never needs to see time in a Blazers uniform ever again?

    Mario, Tolliver and Bazemore.
