calm down, Scal. It wasn't that good of a shot by Pritchard.

Can't believe just a couple months ago people were saying Grant Williams should get $20 mil. a year and start.

With a gun to my head I say Blake Griffin because he hustles so much but defensively I think they will exploit him


Edit I also believe muscala was put out of the rotation for so long but he is still a weapon that we can maximize if he can get his confidence and rhythm back.


Yep, agree 100%. To me it feels like we have three or four eighth men.

Sentimentally for me, Griffin....but it does depend on matchups.

Yeah. The Matchup has got to be a big factor.
He Hustles though.

He seems to have that fantastic Veteran experience.
He's giving us what we need.

Alternate Griffin and Muscala every other game as the 3rd, but have Muscala play every game while Griffin sits every other. Play Grant if you need a body against those banging bigs

That's an interesting setup plan.
I would probably play Griffin more.

wow.

the pace, the spacing, the ball movement and the effort has been awesome tonight!

when the ball zips around like that, our shots are more open and our guys are in more of a rhythm when they shoot - which makes a higher % of the shots go in :)

This is looking like the first month of the season. Right on time.
