Bled: He’ll come around and be a more consistent contributor; like the form on his shot but he needs to take open mid rangers and limit the 3s until he makes a ton in multiple practices. Not saying he’s as bad as Westbrick by any stretch but he’s not very relible right now. Like the fact that he appears to be pretty sturdy and durable. His D seems at least avg NBA. If anything, like him to show a lil more emotion/passion. Think that one reason Lue wants Bled starting is to conserve both Mann and Luke so they can come in with great energy and lower the kaboom. But that’s only gonna work if Bled shows some impressive play. Rooting for him.

Bled’s defense is pretty good. His inability to hit the 3 pt shot is definitely a head scratcher. But, tough to judge anyone on a six game sample. Starting both Reggie and Bled is not a big deal, but more importantly, during critical parts of the game, what combos work better? I do like Reggie with T. Mann, Luke, Nic and PG for the closing 4 min — assuming that we don’t have to deal with a Jokic type big.

On Monday, they don’t look great and pull out a tight win against OKC. Then tonight they absolutely kill it and look like an offensive juggernaut, only to win a relatively close game against the Timberwolves.

It’s great shots finally started falling, but this type of shooting is definitely not sustainable. They still need to play defense when their shots are falling, and stop turning the ball over. Would be nice to put it all together again for at least a few games in a row. But hey as long as these games end up in the W column, I’ll take them.

Really not sure what to make of Bledsoe. How can he look so good in the first few games, and so bad as of late. I knew his offense would a little come and go, so never thought they should rely on it, but outside of the 1st game of the season, it’s just been completely gone. I want to think some of the 3’s will eventually drop. I mean he’s definitely not a great shooter, but you’d gladly take the 34% from the last 2 years… not the 13% he’s shot so far this season. Right now, those shots are as good as turnovers, not to mention the actual bad turnovers he’s had in the past few games. Hopefully he’ll turn it around, but definitely looking more and more like he should be limited to a bench role.

This man is on a mission, and with the team actually making threes, this looks like a great stretch in the future for us.
