Yuta is such a Swiss army knife, he makes lineups that don't really naturally fit together work.

If Royce was playing Cam would be sitting and that line up looks a little better

It would be a little better, but Kyrie-Curry/Mills is still too small.

I think it could still work in small doses, but you'd have to go supersized at the other 3 positions. Any 3 of Yuta Ben Clax or KD

Kyrie and Curry shouldn't play together tbh.

This felt like practice game

We got a ton of production across the floor. We still need to clean up some of these line ups, but i enjoyed this one

Can we safely say they are back?

Good win. Warren helps a lot with depth.

Yuta looks like hes not himself yet.

Its been a lot of bad teams but this team is starting to look good. Our early season was very difficult looking back.

Thank you for firing Nash. A full season too late but god its nice to enjoy watching basketball again.

This team looks really solid now

Very deep, good chemistry… lot of weapons, KI is focused and KD is just on special level…

Tonights game performance was mostly all good.

The good.
Ben is getting back into top game shape.
KD and Ky...off the charts good
Joe had another solid game.
TJ played some high IQ ball tonight. (Like Morris did the other night in Indiana)
The team seems to be gelling on an interchangeable level.
Another 7 block game. Add to that Claxton is now starting to block his shot to a team mate. Sort of next level Bill Russel stuff. Last season those blocks were going into the stands.

The Bad.
Like M Grand said earlier, we should not be letting teams back into the game. We could go stagnant for 4 or 5 possessions and then have to put in unnecessary extra work.
Both Yuta and Seth did not shoot well tonight.
Yuta looked out of sorts and made a few uncharacteristically mistakes.
IMO....Sharpe should have got some minutes. Why keep the kid on the bench like an ornament. JV gave Cam a ton of minutes but not Day'Ron. Unless we are showcasing Cam which might not be a bad thing... :lol:

Good win.

Having players with length on the team like Ben, Yuta, Warren makes the lineups soooo much more bearable and prevents us having to overplay KD.

Seth is an expiring whose shooting is highly valued around the league while both Patty & Cam are fine to play a combined total of 10 minutes per game unless the latter goes off

I am sure that Seth is or will be dangled as trade bait for a stretch big

A backup pg would also be nice so that KD could just do his thing without worrying about playmaking

We need to have the new game thread stickied, the board is kinda cluttered right now.

Anyway, we're -6 favorites in this game and we should be 100%. Let's see how the team responds after Patty, Kief and the kids pulled off an incredible win vs Indiana.

Cavs lost.

Were only a half game back of the Cavs now for the 3 seed. And the hardest part of our schedule is over.

Don't hold your breath for anything to happen.

Did what they had to do, lets keep racking up these W's while other teams have been losing, we're slowly climbing the standings. We need to give Patty some of Seph minutes, he's way too hot and cold.

Bro is shooting 42% from 3 and youre saying we should cut his minutes.

Talk about an overreaction. Its one bad game. Sheesh.

It's not one bad game, I've been saying we should give Patty some mins and let Curry rest at times. He'll give you 20 pts one game and then 3 pts the next which is exactly what he's been doing the whole season, look it up. He's as hot and cold as they come. Not trying to s*** on Curry but we can let Patty play sometimes too, he's a lot faster and he can be a pesk on defense at times. He played a great game in Indy, we should keep him warm.

Patty has still got plenty to offer BUT hopefully we don't repeat Nash' mistakes and run him into the ground again

He's 34 not 24

A good coach should be able to work out who is hot and who isn't e.g. Cam varies between dynamic and unplayable with little in between

Spread the minutes between them
