    Somewbar sadly, I see why HCP worships Westbrook. Watching all those top percentile athletes every day like he does. Seeing someone more exceptional than that must be appreciated. Even if he is a ball hog.

    I don't get what Russ gets by talking. He's playing like shit this season. Maybe he should focus more on that

    CJ never sees anything but his own offensive opportunities. That's a problem when he plays this many minutes.

    Even though if there’s a team to break this 3rd quarter thing streak this is the team I’d like to do it against.

    They have an answer whenever we hit a three to get close. Need to string some good stops together

    It's a problem when he's not hitting. When he's 5-6 on threes, he needs to keep shooting.

    Zach could learn a lot from Steven Adams. He's another guy that struggled with finishing around the rim in college vs size due to some extension and in traffic athleticism issues.

    Really has improved his touch and learned how to keep it simple around the rim.

    But hasn't he always been more effective when focusing at midrange? He isn't the shooter Dame is.
