Can we trade Len for that center that plays for the Raptors?

IDK what we can do to improve him. He is just invisible.

He's just playing passively on offense - very passively. But this is happening at the same time as Booker and Bledsoe have been effective carrying the offense.

Two things I think. I think they've made a deal with him - they'll let him hang around the offensive glass and leak out on the defensive rebound, provided that (1) in the half court, he's the third option, and (2) he has to focus on being a sound team and disruptive one-on-one defender. They're challenging him to grow, because he has yet to show the ability to handle the ball very much on offense.

I'm okay with it, though the odds are starting to dwindle that he'll ever be a volume offense guy. He just hasn't show that mentality. It's okay, though - he has shown that is a very good NBA player. He has room to grow. As with Alex, I'm willing to be patient. Let's go ahead and extend him this offseason to a reasonable deal. I bet we could get a deal done.

I really wish Eric passed like this every game.

Loved Alex's long jumper. It was the two thing it needs to be: (1) rare, and (2) in the basket.

Loved Booker's fastbreak on Lowry. He's getting better at avoiding the charge. Lowry had to move his feet to lean into him. Beautiful.

Bledsoe has been great. Booker coming back to form has really helped him.

Good to see Quese getting hype with Sauce on the bench.

If you mean JV, I'd love that.

These refs are really trying to control this game.

I actually like this lineup against the Raptors. I know Knight hasn't been solid with us lately, but he can catch fire and we need to open up the floor.

There was no need to take that heat check of a shot when there is very little time left in the game. I wish we ran a play but can't knock Bledsoe since he has the hot hand.

Lowry playing dirty. Glad that was a flagrant 2.
