    I didn't think he was that great last night tbh - @ZenMaster and I were on the same page. Felt the lack of a TO to help stop the ned of the 3rd quarter run made the game a lot closer then should have been. Plus after giving him props for play design the night before - he didn't really have an answer for the zone. Really felt that they should have moved Reaves off - ball to start the action and out of the top of the key where the Wolves were crushing the Lakers offense

    Yes. That not taking a timeout 1:30 before the break is puzzling.
    They are on a run. Only makes sense to cool them off to not let any momentum to carry into the 4th.

    This is a great observation and shows that the players not only are buying what JJ is selling but that they also have confidence in AR leading the team. Missing half the team, including LeBron and Luka, so what, we have Austin.The team believes they can beat anyone, anywhere and that is beyond huge. Slick on the job!

    I do get your point but keep in mind how many ball handlers we had last night, or didn't have.

    Crazy enough how quickly things can change, but something I did hear was actually somewhat confirmed today by Pablo Torre. Lue is close with Jones and Billups and loves poker. I won't speculate as a lot of guys like to gamble in the league, but my eyebrows are still raised by that story and some of the guys orbiting it.
