Getting a bit concerned about Trez's touches. Dude deserve a little P&R action from somebody other than Wes Matthews.

This is why I want Schröder and Trez to come off the bench as a pair when Marc (and AC) sits. The most mobile guard and our most mobile big should play some fast paced PnR; like all the time.

[BEazy]

Got a feeling this is going to be a really close game.

[Beethoven]

Easy win like last time deja vu

IMO, marc should be getting some of his minutes with the bench so he could feed trez with his activity flashing across the lane and making smart cuts

Vogel will surely try it both ways. We have a very flexible roster.

[Freighttrain]

I think Pop will be fired up after last game's ejection and their players will respond accordingly. The only way I think we'll win is if we have an early big lead. Losing would put us as 3-3 and that just doesn't look as good as 4-2.

I’m guessing Vogel is thinking long term as in playoffs. Where is he best suited when they play the Clips, Nuggets etc. Marc is so smart and flexible that he can play good with both starters and reserves, the important consideration is how to keep him healthy and play him not more than 22 minutes/ game esp with the lack of depth in the real center position.

I'm not clear on Schroeder's P&R ability yet. Not saying he doesn't have the skills, but P&R game isn't in his bag yet IMO.

[EArl]

Lets get this win!

[RamonSessions7]

This fake crowd noise just sounds like annoying static

[TJM217]

Hoping to see some gasol Kuz minutes

[EArl]

Not the best start for us offensively.

[lazybatman]

Soft foul call on Kuz there..

[RamonSessions7]

Good game for Kuzma to be hitting his shots

[TJM217]

THT begging for a call didn't get back in time and gave up the open 3. Lucky he missed

[EArl]

Kuzma has turned into a good chase down blocker.

[TJM217]

Kuz with the chase down the THT with the block on the center!! Loving the d from the young guys. Then another block!!
