    But having him play point guard....... it's like they're trying to provoke us.

    I personally am hoping for Robinson to round into a decent player by mid-season, and cut down on some of the things he's not capable of.

    And I'm hoping his playing time (and increasing playing time) comes at the expense of Leonard.

    Man, after that first half, if you would have told us we would turn the ball over 20 times in a half, I'd say we were getting blown the fuck away.

    It's not going to happen if they keep playing him at the top of the key.

    Lopez with nearly another double double. 9 points and 10 boards.

    Lopez's defense is really solid. I'm soooo excited about him

    He needs to not have the ball with him (like the last play, which I think was him...drove to the hoop).

    He can develop that part of his game, but he should be a guy whose game is limited to within 15 feet of the hoop. And even that it's to send screens, rebound and defend. And if need be, be a bit of a Rich Mahorn.

    Not sure it's solid, as much as we got so used to Hicksons "defense" and Leonards "defense". Not saying he isn't playing hard or being very helpful.

    I was thinking the bench wasn't having a very good game, but they still have 22 points so far. That's lightyears better than last year.
