I’m honestly not as sold on Black as others. He had a nice game the other night, but it was all cuts to the basket and I can’t see him scoring four or five times a game every night doing that. I wanna see if he’s got the ability to get some buckets. Should be an interesting night.

We really started AB and Goga.

In other years our tank engin would have been revving up with this move. This season, we are blinded by hope.
Wow. That's what I wanted! Black starting at PG?

I expected injuries to open up opportunities for guys but not at this rate. Very excited to see AB and Goga get some serious burn!

This migth backfire, but I do like the idea.
Don't mess with the second unit (and I'm guessing Jett will get GH minutes there) that has been great, so instead, just replace users in the first 5.

Let's see how this goes, and hope Black doesn't get in foul trouble in less than 3 minutes.

As will the offense...


We saw that LAC game, can it get any worse? Really?

AD protecting the rim against a team which lacks shooters could get really ugly. Hopefully Ingles, Cole or Franz will catch fire from 3.

Anyway, I am quite curious how Black would do as a starter.

Thats why i want Goga to wear him down. To those playing ball, you know ypu get tired more bumping and grinding down low compared to running at the 3pt line. AD does that with WCJ. Against Goga he might not move us much around but he will have to body up Goga down low

We don’t change time until tomorrow at 2am or 1 am. So it is regular.

Interesting that Mosley chooses to keep the 2nd unit in the roles they’ve been preparing for instead of bringing Cole and Moe into the SL, and that the backup starters are our rookie and Goga (I’m very high on Goga).

Spoke to him outside the Amway during Home Opener. He definitely looks old in person. Camera does wonders

Nick looked good. Lost some weight, could probably give us more than Ingles

Will we see some Goga paint-point work? He has been brilliant finding cutters from the dunker’s spot.

Clearly a development game. Coach knows this is an L and he's giving AB a run in meaningful games.
