It makes Amir expendable. Has an NBA body. Great stroke. Hustled. Rebounded. I see why they dropped Boston, Jr.

I liked Moussa. He moves well. Looks like he has been in the weight room.

I also liked Kobe. He knows how to play. His 3 didn’t fall but he kept on shooting. Good. His game is a lot like Mann’s except he’s bigger.

Cam Christie looks like he belongs. I hope he lights it up tomorrow.

Not even the box score. Don’t want to be conspiratorial—-ok screw it I’m going to be conspiratorial—-because it’s like they’re being told to scrub anything positive about the clippers when Bronny and the Lakers are floundering. Both Miller and Strawther were sensational tonight and newsworthy. As was the terrible injury to Holmes. Clippers and Nuggets are relevant.

I’m sure it will magically get posted overnight

Kobe was…less impressive to me. He kept trying to brute force post up dudes and didn’t have much success, but his defense was good.

Moose looked spry out there too – couple more games like this and Kai’s gonna have trouble showing he should get the nod over him.

Both he and Strawther were on a different level than the other guys on the floor. Cam was expectedly young and skinny but still looked like an NBA player someday. Moose was better. Still in the running against Kai.

Hopefully Jordan can keep it rolling on Sunday when they will have prepared for him.

He’s now got Nico’s high release on his 3 ball — a real weapon as very hard to defend that shot. Very hard.
Diabate’s FTs and overall game looks improved. Wonder if he beats out Kai and takes Plumlee’s spot.
Brown looks about the same-but that’s a good thing.
Didn’t know Christie was so tall. Looks like a good shooting stroke. Just needs to shows us he can get hot.

Tucker, Bones and Coffey for Tyus makes sense (Clips don’t really need Coffey with Mann and DJJ as backup 3s). Wizards get 2 prospects and an expiring contract. Maybe we have to swap out Brown for either since we don’t have any FRPs.

Was a great backup, and there was always the concern if he could keep it up as a starter. Then in Washington, basically kept the same pace and started almost all the games for them. I guess now the criticism would be they didn’t win more games.

Obviously not the most pressing need, and raises some questions of who would start and who would go to the bench, but regardless, I think would definitely be an upgrade over any of the guards outside of Harden. Maybe not the prolific scorer of Norm or the defender of Dunn/Mann, but a better all around guard than anyone. I would probably want him leading the bench as the bench would benefit from his playmaking more than playing along side Harden.

The talent is obvious, but he just can’t seem to get the attitude in a good place. Hope it works out for him somewhere.
