Shabazz produces. Bud sturggles heavily. Wonder who gets more minutes next game.

Great win. Were assured of the 13th slot anyway so might as well play spoiler and try to win all remaining games.

Love continue to be brilliant. Rubio had a big 3rd quarter. Dieng continue to impress. He and turiaf make a fun to watch center combo. Martin had a good 2nd half and bazz got time and play well. Overall, a fun win for us.

Good to see Cunningham restricted to 10 minutes, and none of this small ball line up nonsense Adelman likes to play.

We certainly have depth at the 5. Good to see.

Actually, I think their minutes are mutually exclusive. Bud is backing up Martin and Bazz is backing up Brewer. I was totally fine with how Adelman handled their minutes.

Tonight was fine. That wasn't the joke in that. It's that Bazz has produced better than Bud the last however-many games (even tonight) and he hasn't gotten rewarded for it. Hell, look at last game against LAC. Bud got 27 minutes and Bazz got 12. Really Adelman?

Seriously what is wrong with Barea's shooting this year. He's putting up more 1 - 6 shooting games than Rubio. On a good note nice to see him passing the ball and getting 7 dimes. But we NEED efficient scoring from our back up PG, especially with Rubio as our starter. Barea's shooting has been just as bad, if not worse than Rubio's this season considering most of his minutes are against opposition 2nd units.

A few thoughts:

- I was fine with Adelman's rotations tonight....until the end. What the hell was he keeping his starters in when we were 20 up with 3 minutes left!? And then when he did finally sub out, he sat Love and put Dieng in to play alongside Turiaf. Huh? So Pek and Dieng can never ever play together, but suddenly Turiaf and Dieng are just fine? Didn't really matter I guess, but it was just sort of a bizarre set of decisions my Adelman late.

- I love that Bazz is starting to come on stronger, but he has such an unorthodoxed game for a wing. He has literally no dribble-drive/slashing game, nor have I ever seen him take a pull up jumper. Yet he's solid on the catch-and-shoot and has that sweet-spot push shot along the baseline. Hey, whatever works, but it's a dichotomy of extreme strengths and weaknesses.

- Speaking of Shabazz, I think he needs to slim down a bit. I realize he's naturally built with a big frame, but he really looks heavy out there.

- I need to go back to the game tape and see if those two pump fake drives were both travels against Gorgui. It feels like at least one of those was a rookie call by the ref. By the way, he looked really freakin' fast on one of those drives, whether he traveled or not. I think he has more upside to his offensive game. And how about that turnaround near the end of the game? He's not just capable of clean-up duty around the hoop.

- Memphis played like we did the past two games before tonight: Without energy. They really needed this win, but they didn't quite seem into it.

- Turiaf was great tonight. He's better than I ever remember him being prior to coming here. His injuries this season really cost us.

Great win.
