Culver looking solid again in the first few minutes.

Wiggins taking a lot long two already.

interesting tidbit by Jim that Culver 2x as many "shooting reps" that they track for practice as anyone

Just settling, barely even attempting to drive

Whiteside is a paint beast, but still

Ryan pulls Napier after 7 mins. He's starting to get on my nerves.

Josh hits a 3! nice no hesitation at all.

Teague will mess him up.

It's clear the green light on mid range shots has been given for tonight while Whiteside is in the game. I don't hate it, if he's just gonna camp under the rim and that's the open shot off pick and roll we should take it and force an adjustment. It works so well vs us might as well give another team a dose of it

Damn they lit us up. 34 points in the first! They hit some crazy shots too. Hope this is just them being super hot and not our defense falling off.

Defense already fell off last game. If you could keep Teague off the floor, maybe.

Reid in the game already!

Did you see Reid with a double screen? Pick and then sprints in to screen another player for Teague.

Send Towns' jersey to the trade board. Reid is in for 2 minutes and is already +9.

Bench is playing well.
I'm not getting the Teague criticism tonight or even the previous game. Seems ridiculous when he's playing well. If he was stinking it up sure but criticizing him when he's playing well seems silly

Really love watching Culver now. Seems like the NBA game is slowing down for him. He's not forcing anything or trying to do too much, unlike the first couple months.

Looks confident on both ends.

Great drive and kick to Culver

he stunk up the previous game. He stunk up the first 5 minutes of his this game. We went into a hole.

Reid saved the first couple minutes of the 2nd this game. Reid sprung Teague for his last basket with insane play and was part of the two man defense stopping everything. Credit Ryan for playing Reid.

Let's go Napier/Reid now for a bit.

Way to take the advantage we have with Portland playing Tolliver at Center and ruin it by playing Graham

CP1981 · Post #19 » by **CP1981** » Fri Jan 10, 2020 1:48 am

Graham just gives you nothing offensively

Jedzz · Post #20 » by **Jedzz** » Fri Jan 10, 2020 1:49 am

Graham? why would he be playing
