4 possessions, 3 TOs for us... I think I'm done already, this gotta be a record.

Curious they never showed a replay of Dre's 2nd foul. I'm still trying to figure that one out. Seemed bogus.

Yeah we'll be totally a better team by eliminating that half effort cancer Drummond off the team and getting a center that can shoot like ZaZa. We'll be totally great.

And I think he’s better off being a top option on the 2nd unit than the 5th with the starters. He was touching the ball right when he stepped on the floor. Huge difference for a shooter.

I still think he’s the best option next to bullock but if Casey can’t diversify that offense enough to get everyone involved maybe he’s better coming off the bench.

If only we could swap him for Otto Porter. He’d truly save our franchise.

Having him as a 6th man makes alot of sense. Blake/Drummond/Jackson suck up alot of usage. It also keeps him away from the elite wing defenders u face starting at the 2. Theirs plenty of guys who are much better in the 6th man role then starting guys like Crawford/Sabonis/Lou Wil.

This is his 2nd good game of the year. Leave him in that role for awhile and see if he can show some consistency.
