Damn the negativity. It's early guys. Take a deep breath.

We really aren't good enough to book in Ws..

If we are a playoff team, and I think we are, we crush PHX tonight.

Three things really peed me off about this game.

1) Ingles - shoot the open three. It almost feels like it has something to do with the %
2) Quin seems to have a knack for putting some players in positions where they are destined to fail! (Turning Rubio into a shoot first gunner. Dante Exum - enough said)
3) Mitchell - allowed to jack up shots like it is a family get together. It's not that throwing them up is in itself bad - it's the fact that it became garbage time, non structured Mitchell hour. Imagine if some other certain players had been given such a leash!

Sheesh!

Donovan is a goddamn specimen. 7' wingspan, fastest sprint times in the combine, 40.5 inch vertical, same height and weight as Westbrook, Lillard, etc.

6'3", with that wingspan,vert, and speed, are more than adequate for a 1/2 combo guard, and through the first few games he's actually shown some glimpses of strong passing and vision.

he's confident, and fearless. his shots just aren't falling through the beginning of the season, and he's been making some questionable decisions. those will pass with time. still very high on DM.

Eh...

No one is really trying that hard to guard him atm though

Neg yourself Richard Kranium. Anyone making judgements on a dude 2-3 games in is just a mental giant. You're just not very astute in your comments.

But come on dude. Fairs fair. Apparently it was ok to anoint him the next 'Dame with defense' after SL and a Lakers preseason game?

 

[Et tu Brute]

It's annoying because he is judging a rookie after 4 games and his claims (undersized, slow, can't shoot) arent even correct.

What are views of Simmons after 4 games?

Re: Mitchell

I think he is going to be a very good NBA player. He has a mental fortitude and presence about everything he does. He has a can do attitude and ability.

I love the fact that at around the time he was 1/10 he contributed to a foul on Williams - went over and helped him up and then could be heard saying 'that's on me to his teammates'. I think indicating that it was his fault that Lou had slipped into the paint. There seems to be no BS with the kid. He won't pull others down to get a leg up.

Mind you, I wish Exum had half the leash Mitchell gets

In related news, apparently just after Dante's surgery started today, Quin called the surgeon and demanded s/he operate on Shelvin Mack instead.

True story!

DM sure gets a lot of ink for a 13th overall rookie.

And has been more impactful than Dante has ever been.

Ooh, idk about that. Dante's D at the point was in his first year was a pretty big factor in Rudy's breakout.

DM has shown more potential though.
