That's how you take a big off the dribble. Nice play Melo.

Graham doesn't even look at Lamelo when they are on the floor together. Done with that scrub

This time he takes a different big off the dribble (last time Sabonis, this time Turner) and again does it well.

FYI we aren’t winning with this lineup. PJ has had his best game of the year and he’s on the bench because JB insists on tri-guard.

Or Terry will hit a 3 assisted by Tae.

What's the point of subbing LaMelo in with a minute left in a close 1 score game

Who was he coming in for?

He is living off of his over achieving reputation from last season. He’s been reckless this year and if he doesn’t turn it around soon I’m going to completely sour on him. He does NOT need to default to Graham and Terry every night. He does this at the expense of momentum every game.

I’m glad it looks like I will be wrong. But it’ll be despite JB’s stubborn decision not because of it.

Savvy finish by Melo. That was a great game. A lot of lucky shots, but hey I'll take it.

Biz with 6 minutes tonight. That's what I like to see. The less Biz plays, the better we're off

Monk with 14 minutes, Caleb with 0. You also like to see it. At least Borrego starting to get some things right

Fun game. Those lineups with LaMelo/Monk and PJ at center can really pressure the defense and get buckets. Fun basketball even if they struggle to get stops.

Defensively we're about just as bad as we are with Biz on the floor but way better on offense. I really hope we keep playing PJ at backup 5. I also think Biz only got minutes due to Cody's foul trouble.

On a winning team, I think PJ, unless he improves, should be the backup 4/5 with Miles

And in that case that would be a great bench unit if we can resign Monk for cheap

Here's hoping he improves more though
