16 point lead and guys are not in foul trouble and they didnt really develop momentum.....so it looks good going to the 3rd...start it off well and build that lead before going to the bench

Stauskas = rookie
McLemore = not rookie

I've watched some of the other rookies play. Payton's been struggling. McDermott looks lost. Gordon is terrible. Smart's alright. Wiggins is meh. Parker has his ups and downs. Haven't even heard of what Vonleh has been doing. Exum is meh. Either this draft class was disappointingly overhyped (not likely), or guys just need a year or two to acclimate. Look at Ben - he's really starting to pick it up.

NBA players are terrible at getting those full court shots off before the buzzer lol. Besides Tyreke Evans

They deliberately shoot them after the clock so that they don't ruin their stats. I think that only Tyreke and Derrick Rose completely ignores stats and shoot these heaves on time.

At least Stauskas doesn't make me want to hurl.

It's kind of silly that we're already starting to see rumblings about Stauskas. We're literally seeing the result of player growth with Ben McLemore and some are already to throw Nik under the bus after 8 games.

Now D-Will is a different story of it being time to give up on a young player. Year 4 for him and he hasn't improved on anything in his game since his rookie year.

Do you want to watch Nik struggle all year while force feeding him playing time or would you rather have a steady vet who can make a difference right now and help this team win and get to the playoffs? That's not throwing Nik under the bus but that's wanting to win now and the kid isn't ready yet.

It honestly feels like this team is a backup PG and some experience away from being a serious contender in the west.

Backup PG would certainly help the bench unit from getting killed every time they're on the floor. Sessions stagnates the offense and gets torched on defense. He's practically playing like IT minus the 20ppg

if we can go into the 4th with a 16pt lead...were golden! Memphis is gonna come out in the 3rd and play alot different I think so I hope the team is prepared!

When the hell can we play the Sixers or Lakers?

December.

This is our month from hell. That's why win this, go up 6-3 = tremendous start, not just good one. Surviving this month looked doubtful before the season. Instead we might still be thriving. by the time we start meeting the weak sisters we'll be seasoned and confident vets looking to put weak teams away.
