I can’t believe the next game is against San Antonio again. Schedule makers sure wanted to squeeze these matchups in as soon as possible.

I think we lose this next one. Spurs will want to get even and Pop will have them prepared.

Don't look now, but we're up to 7th in defensive rating

Yeah, he's limited as hell, but I respect the way he plays. You can tell LeBron loves him.

Good win, always good to stick it to the Spurs (that Derozan deal not looking so good now, could have had Julius Randle + more lets be honest).

We just need one guy you can't leave open... Ever. If we had that shooter you didn't even have to think about if he's open, we'd be a much better team. Hart's getting there but not quite yet...

Are there any shooters left in FA like that OR someone we could trade with out giving up much?

Ellington might be a waiver wire candidate

He better be working on the shot. For a shooter he sure does brick a ton of open looks so far

He's had wiiiiiiiiiide open looks and missed. He has to start making them. Combine that with being an average free throw shooter and that isn't good.

I don't know what got into Lebron in the 4th, but the dude had a lot of juice... he was taking off full speed on almost every outlet/rebound. He seemed extra motivated to get the win last night.

The ESPN feed noted that he told them he got over 11 hours of sleep the night before..... in fact he slept through the Lakers X-mas party. Old guys need more sleep..... I keep telling my wife that....

I think given the choice every GM in the game takes Derozan over Randle. SA gutted that team and lost more than just Leonard.

I'd take Derozen at the 2 right about now over Randle on the bench.

I don't think there's any doubt the guy can shoot. But he's a rookie who's playing garbage minutes every odd game. The only way he's gonna start hitting shots is if he gets more minutes and builds confidence. Unfortunately, I don't see him getting much of an opportunity on this team.

I see a lot of Joe Harris in him, who's finally playing well after moving to Brooklyn.

Fingers crossed Svi grows into that guy - he's had a rough start
