Mickey added 4 assists, 4 steals, and 4 blocks in 34 minutes in Claws win. Jackson had 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in 35 minutes. Both shot 50% from the field.

Judging by Mickey's many jams, the force of gravity seems to be lower in D-league. He's just playing looser there. It's amazing how much confidence matters.

Also not playing against guys who are the NBA probably helps a lot :wink:

13 of 16 is impressive. Equally impressive is that every letter in Žižić's name has a little slash, squiggle or dot on top.

Thank you Davor, other European fans, and Crowderkeg for keeping us updated.

Also helps that both teams are playing pickup style, no real offensive or defensive structure. He got at least 2 blocks there by just standing around the rim guarding nobody. In the NBA that leads to a wide open 3, your coach calling timeout and you sitting your ass on the bench.

What's the story with Nader's injury?

lmao I don't know why but this made me tear up. ha ha it's so true. But to give Mickey some benefit of the doubt, he could easily supplant Zeller as our 3rd string big next season or even 2nd half. He'll be a valuable role player for us. I love his energy and he's pretty athletic. I'm betting that Zeller will be included as salary in a consolidating trade that brings up Nader or Mickey from the D league...eventually.

Hopefully going to Portland next Saturday to see Nader play. I'll probably ignore the rest of the team and only watch this kid hah. Anyone know of any other Claws worth paying attention to?

Jackson will likely be there again next Saturday, by far the most likely player to actually make next year's C's roster of the bunch (Including Nader).

Man that was a great chasedown block. Couldn't believe how much he unfurled his stride. Got hosed on the call.

He's making plays that look like they have a chance of translating. Just wish he was hauling down double digit boards over these chumps.

Jalen Jones is pretty decent too. He's one of our Affiliates, let go from Camp.
Asauhn Dixon-Tatum, plays Center, at 7'0". Other than him, the whole Starting lineup is affiliated with the Celtics, in some way.

They play at 7pm, today.

Zizic with 10 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes in 88-65 Cibona (9-4) win vs. Krka Novo Mesto.

Now we know what happened to the chair that Yi worked out against. It's playing in the Chinese league.

Nice ball fake in the low post at about the 2:17 mark. I have only seen highlights, so I could be mistaken without a full game context, but what I really like about him is his activity level. Also like how well he puts it on the floor.
