Nice to see Lin catch fire...it's been a while. 18pts in one quarter. Not too shabby.

i think now Daniels might be the one to replace canaan...maybe send canaan down to the dleague...daniels is a better shooter...daniels should be getting spot minutes in every game.

a b2b game in high altitude....i didnt expect us to win this game...no big deal...we will win the rest of the games.

Not a good loss but I hope that was just an off night for Harden

One game? That's enough for you to make this call?

Nevermind that Canaan had back to back 15pt games just prior to this last game...and was absolutely SCORCHING it from 3pt land before this last 1-8 dropped his over percentage down a bit.

Man, we had some real good players in the D League, would have been fun the watch. Morey is no joke.

Thanks for the honesty.

Will be driving to Canyon Lake tomorrow morning for the weekend with the family. I won't be able to make the Friday or Saturday game threads. Someone go for it please.

i found out that daniels is actually a more consistent shooter from people who follow the dleague...they said canaan isn't a good finisher at the rim either...

In Canaan's last 5 games, he's shooting 44% from three. That's INCLUDING a 1-8 performance last night.

At this point, so close to the playoffs, there's no time to shuffle guys around. I like what I see from Canaan so far and it doesn't make any sense to remove him from the rotation after having him playing some decent minutes lately and try to bring another new guy up to speed in Daniels.

as long as he's not gun shy, then that will be fine. daniels isn't gun shy...there are still 4 games left for daniels to get up to speed though if the rox chooses...in any event, daniels is eligible for playoffs anyway. we could see daniels and canaan getting some spot minutes.
