I like the backcourt tandem of LeVert and Russell. It was the first game of the season but the future looks bright for the franchise.I



We really have nothing to play for. No picks no playoff expectations so he should start Levert.

Russell, Levert and RHJ literally are the future core. Allen too. He needs the minutes.

I was hoping the local product, Whitehead would have more of a presence this season but I think the ceiling for him has been reached. RHJ really surprised me too at how much his in game IQ has improved!

LeVert starting?

He needs to be. Caris can handle the ball and break down the d just like he wants that second ball handler to have. Plus it lets the chemistry build between him and russell.

He might start crabbe over him though to give dlo more space cause Leverts shot isnt there yet. If he doesnt start, he's first off the bench.

Yeah coming out Michigan, I was sure Caris' shot was the one thing that was sure to translate besides the vision.

Can't believe his ability to get into the paint is further along but once the shot comes then its over.

Feel terrible for Lin, was hoping this season he'd be more healthy after last season.

At least Dlo looked good and now Caris will get more minutes. Still think we have a chance to outperform a lot of people's expectations

I’m expecting russel to have a big game in terms of facilitating... caris should eat on the second unit and this will be a better front court matchup for us. I can see us pulling a W. I hope we rally around the Lin injury oppose to it shutting us down.

Trevor Booker with another impressive game.

Was light for him.... was more excited for RHJ and big jah. Both came up huge defensively

Also interested to see how crabbe fits for what we are paying him....

D Lo impressive but I would like to see some better decisions and for him to show some more savvy down the stretch. Im REALLY upset Lin is gone, Dlo really would have learned a lot playing alongside him.


Dinwiddie and Booker stepping up when needed. Thats that new team culture on display


Caris is just cut from a different cloth man, you could see it. Hes got what it takes to be big time. Hes just got to master that jump shot and thats going to happen. He's too skilled and dedicated not to, its just a matter of time. Khawi did it, John Wall did it, he will too.

:jbhmm:We might have something with this Jarett Allen kid. Dude fears NO one and has great instincts on both sides.
