honest question: what young players?


Mainly Stanley-Reaves-THT

Especially Stanley and Reaves.

This game just shows that Westbrook is fine…when LeBron doesn’t play.

Not exactly the best scenario.

the hornets are the worst defense in the league. all it shows is that team's look like all time offenses against them. using this to reach some conclusion isn't prudent.

They haven't figured out the fit.

Russ can still play, but only when he has the ball in his hands.

I think part of the Small Ball strategy is to clear the lane to help Russ.

They're trying to figure it out, but his game and LeBron's game just don't seem to work well together.

Jokic's jumpshot is so pure. Crazy arc.

Ish Smith needs to be more assertive. Everyone else is out of control and taking bad shots

Defensive possession was REALLY good. So many rotations.

Players playing with passion.

Probably -- and this is just a guess, so bear with me -- because our offense falls into the toilet when he sits.

Yo if Baze hits his 3 he's a great addition.

Baze is trash. That experiment failed miserably at the start of the season. Don’t let one decent game fool you.
