Chandler Parsons is going to be very important for the Grizz, they are a horrible perimeter shooting team.

Dunn def needs a lot of work. He ha a lot to learn. LOL at the notion Rubio was instantly Dunn when we got him. Kid could still be great though give him time.

I dont know why Spain doesn't use Ricky like this. He looks like crap when he plays for Espana.

Dunn looks baddd but I think he's gonna turn things around quickly. He's somebody who gets better with aggression and assertiveness. Just doesn't know what he's looking for or when to attack. Once he gets comfortable, he's going to get rolling.

Dieng is physically handling Z-bo. I remember somebody said he is 20 lbs heavier or something. He should keep this weight.

We do have most of our guys and I think we are putting in more effort in this game. Feel like most teams are cooling down for the season start, we are just gearing up with out schedule. I wouldn't take this one too seriously.

Dunn needs to attack like Zach just did. Even if he misses, he's gotta attack and put some shots up. Yeah penetrating and kicking out is good but gotta work on his game which clearly needs it.

Think its time to sit the starters. Dont need any fluke injuries.

How about my main man: 19 pts on fantastic efficiency, 11 boards and 4 blocks and fools still want him out of the starting 5.

He looks great with the new weight. He played great against Z-bo. I thought Rubio was your main man.

Except I've often been correct on my assessments, but sure :lol:
I'm fine with Dieng proving me wrong by playing like this every night.

WTF Dunn?

He's trying to be like Ricky. Blowing open layups and shooting 20%

Every time they make a 3 ---> Full timeout by MIN

I think defending threes just may be a area of focus for Thibs.
