So far a decent game.

33 point first quarter. Offense is definitely rounding into form.

Does Nate Robinson only know how to play 1v5?

Desperately need to get rid of Andre Miller and shorten the rotation.

Defense on the other hand, yikes. Still absolutely zero weakside help defense.

So far. We're going to teach him to play at least 4 on 5 this season.

He reminds me of Boykins with less passing. For all the hype after last year I am not a Robinson fan.

Two things from this game:

- I am certainly not missing Corey Brewer's low basketball IQ and non-existent offense outside of cherry picking.

- We really are a good SG away from being a homecourt playoff team again. Whether the best way to get one is through standing pat and waiting for one to be available, trading a big asset for one, or going for a Wiggins/Exum/Smart is the question. And no I do not think Shumpert is the answer, he's an above average defender and that's about it.

I disagree actually, I think YMCAndre has been great. He always makes timely plays and he's even been lights-out from 3, somehow. He's definitely a better option than Nate Rob at this point.

Chandler has been a huge addition. It feels like every time we need a bucket, he drains a 3.

This team has made some really nice improvements since the first week, Minnesota is a good team. Tomorrow night should be interesting, hopefully Ty is okay.

Wilson is money for this team.

I think he will play at SG when Gallo will be ok.
He can shoot from 3pt line and dribbling to the basket (layup or passing)

Our bigs are playing very solid. Hick&Faried can play together and Moz is a big value. Arthur can help with his jumper off the screen.

Fours is playing very well last games.

I think Nate&Andre is a very bad combo on the floor. and more if Nate is playing PG with Andre in the frontcourt.

Clearly you wrote this during first half. Yeah, Andre looked very unmotivated. And in second half, he was one of keys to winning this game. So... If they can trade him for good SG well do it. But just for "getting rid of him?" This man doesn't deserve this.
