14-14 at the line hope I didn't jinx Bridges.

I really love how this team cheers for each other.

Yeah I always notice how often they cheer whoever's on the court. The chemistry with our team is second to none. We got to enjoy these past two seasons because they dont happen often. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Pat Burke & Lou Amundson sitting behind our bench cheering with us along the way.

Been a while since Booker got into the paint

Alright, I may have to change to start Craig over Crowder. :lol:

What is wrong with you Run? First you wanted CamJ which is understandable as most fans agreed but now its Craig? I wonder who will be next in few weeks maybe Wainwright? :nonono:

All it took for Craig to get going is for me to blast em in his thread.

Seriously though, Monty made the correct adjustment with em and is playing him specifically at the four. He's still taking some wild threes, but he's hitting them now. :lol:

Tanking gets a bad reputation but we are beating 3 All-Stars by 25 with our draft picks.

I jinxed Bridges but not Craig since he cannot miss. I can see the warriors calling us next year to overpay for Craig by offering him a 3y/22m.

Too be fair to Craig, he is rebounding better than CamJo or Crowder starting. I would still go with CamJo, but its super nice watching Craig step up.

Craig's rebounding has been huge, feels like half our losses are due to rebounding.

The best thing is having options for different matchups. Each bring their own strengths, and have a level of comfort with the starters and the bench.

The one thing I'd like to see some more of at this point in the season are twin-tower lineups. McGee and DA, DA and Biyombo, Biyombo and McGee. Getting those guys reps together for those instances in the playoffs where we might want to go extra big will get us a game or two come playoff time.

So how is Derozan an MVP candidate?

Close outs don't come as quick when he has bigs guarding him.

Yeah actually thats a good assessment. Has an extra half second to get his shot off.

Suns are about to be 9-4 without CP3 which is a 69% winning % while with Paul in lineup we managed to win 82% of our games. Pretty impressive how players go down yet we continue to win. And I haven't even mentioned Booker missing 4 games, Cam 8 games, Crowder 2 games but now I have. :nod:

Not a good start to the 4th

Was out at dinner and just got back. Caught most of the second and part of the third. They look pretty sharp tonight but can't let up an inch. Good to see Craig playing well and making the most of his opportunities while Crowder is out. Seems like he's finally worked out of his shooting funk, too.
