Real happy the refs are focusing on stupid shit like traveling at the three point line, but swallow their whistles when real contact happens at the rim. Glad they have their priorities straight.

Scoring aside, guard play was atrocious tonite.
Yeah, and I agree with your previous comment that Zach can make a simple entry pass look difficult. That's a pass he needs to make whether he's playing PG or SG. I think that's why Sam continues to play him at PG...he wants Zach to get more comfortable with the ball so he can maximize his enormous potential, and having him handle the ball as much as possible gets him there faster. 8 TOs was bad tonight, but you gotta love the 20-8-5 plus 2 steals. Did a pretty good job on Kemba too.
Lost this game because of the bench. To be fair, three of the bench players were in the starting unit, but Dieng, Muhammad and Miller/Jones were awful. Bjelica is the only one that brought it.
At this point, Dieng really isn't helping his trade value by playing like dog shit. He has not looked good to start the season; not in a single game.
If rubio and wig where to play, we could actually won the game and be 5-2. But i understand being careful with them. You don't want to risk further injuries to your 2 key players.
We also need another big. Hopefully pek will be healthy in a month. I like bjelica and he has certainly prove me wrong but I fear he may be playing too many minutes straight off the bench. He plays for long stretches at a time and it might be wise and better for him if we could give him a few minutes rest 9-10min stint to keep him fresh and prevent injuries. Instead he has been playing 12-14mins straight at a time.
