Seeing Nader as the starter kind of horrifies me. He's been...decent...? scoring the ball off the bench? But if he starts we're in deep tank.

no reason for deonte burton to be on the roster to begin with. guaranteeing him and nader both was idiotic.

Having a skilled big that could take advantage of switches would be pretty cool...

It pains me to write this but the last few games I’ve been thinking that Shai looks like a slower, lankier version of Dennis. They both have the same low release on their three, both tend to drove to the basket and not facilitate for others, both are active on defense but don’t really appear to be good defenders. Shai even had a garbage lob to Noel tonight.

It's almost like shai should be in some sort of structured system instead of having the ball rolled out in front of him and instructed to score.

Hoping the 13th best player in the draft is a real game changer.

Giannis and Kawhi were picked 15th.

Cp3 with a career defining moment. I can't believe how in support of this I am

Even you tank guys should be happy for last night. A game like that only helped a lot of trade values. I'm happy to see them get the win. Adams, CP3, and company all stepped up!

I said before the season this team has the talent to make the playoffs. I also was afraid Presti was stupid enough to actually hold the team together and see if they could. Donovan is costing them wins, but not enough. As CP3 continues to coach up the team they will get better as the season goes along. Gallo needs to be traded soon because that will slow down the winning in a hurry.

This game was a pretty good indicator of what shai's numbers could look like if he learns to draw fouls.
