These are lineups I've been begging for Nash to use in more games. Better late than ever.

Kessler needs to play over James Johnson. He's a rookie and makes mistakes but he's a better shooter and defender already imo

Sharpe just brings the needed energy on the boards. He should be getting spot mins every game.

Sharpe is killing them. I’m used to the opposing bigs doing this to us.

Can’t blame Nash for the fouling. Plus he is using Kessler now in the corner with a green light. That’s going to help our spacing even if he’s not hitting them high but he might turn it on with a rhythm set up. He also has Sharpe finally but likely due to foul issues. Sharpe is our best rebounder he really should be played more especially in this game when nurkic comes in.

I like the speed of the offense with the Kyrie and the rookies. That is what we need to take advantage of Nurkic in there

Gonna give Nash credit here for using all 4 of the young boys.

Despite all the foul calls the Blazers got, that was a fun 1st half.

Happy to see the rookies get mins but also lineup combos that actually make sense. More of the same in the 2nd half please.

If we ever figure things out these minutes the rookies are getting now will pay dividends in the playoffs.

Considering the start with the foul hole we dug the team played aggressively and did really well. Hopefully Kyrie can get in his rhythm and Mills can find his shooting again.

Rookies are so much more energetic than these old timers like Milsap/Griffin/Aldridge etc.

Really gives our team an edge.

Great first half.

-I dont care about them getting to the FT line or Nurkic going off for 30+. Just keep letting him go 1 on 1 with maybe late help. if we lose this game it wont be because Nurkic scored more in isolation then KD + Kyrie.

-Kyrie gives this offense 1 big dimension we struggled with the past 2 weeks. opponents double teaming the high pick and roll. With Harden, he had to give the ball up. or split it, which is high risk for a turnover. Kyrie is so fast that he can attack the trapping big and turn the corner on him before his man can recover or switch. it makes the defense move and has created open shots and forced a big onto kyrie in a switch.

-Alot more pressure on the defense with Kyrie in the game. He gives you an off-ball three point shooter when he doesnt have and teams need to help on him OFF the ball when he is coming off screens. With Harden added its not fair. it shouldnt take Kyrie to have a good offense vs. trash teams missing key players, but it certainly helps to have him. we would be down 10+ if he wasnt playing

-stop playing Duke and Bembry at the same time. stop it! give dukes minutes to kessler or play him next to mills.

-I'd like to see 5 minutes of death lineup: Kyrie | Bembry | Mills | Edwards | KD

-Sharpe with a ton of hustle points.
