Just off that Twitter pic above our starters average 20.6 assists per game. Their starters with the replacement players average 11 assists per game. Their bench depth at both guard positions will be weak at best. This is a game we SHOULD win. We could still find a way to lose it, but this game is going to be full of opportunities.

This is a game against a playoff caliber team with way more size than us. Will be an interesting test.

The money doesn't make sense but I think having Love on this team would be huge for us. Rebounding and some scoring, just some added toughness from a big.

Horrible start so far

Scary opening. Outside of KAT no one seems to have it. Vando and Ant have noticeably fallen off a cliff lately.

Fincho ordered a zone defense to welcome CLECaus' BigBall to the tundra.
Not working so far.

J.B. ordered his giants to beat TimberTrolls uptempo finishing always with the big man trailing (usually Afro Ja).
Working as a dream so far.

If he's replacing Naz I think it makes some sense.
I think that defensive compatibility with Towns is the most important thing about any big on the roster. Can't play Love/Towns together much.

What a bad play by dlo

I'm stuck watching the Cavs feed right now. It's torture. If I had a home broadcasters power rankings, Austin Carr would be bottom 5. and Jim Peterson would be top 5.

Get that weak stuff outta here!

So unfair, we are so freaking small man

Can we change our starters? These guys have been regressing

Thank God the bench has shown up so far, they have saved our assess, four point game folks.

TimberTrolls 2nd unit isn't particularly tall either.

But they apparently figured this game out better

They should just not attack the rim when Love is set. They give him an auto charge

That Mobley fadeaway looked so KG.

Hey! We're back in this led by the 2nd unit!
