No Barea tonight along with all the usual suspects injured

Looks like longstrangetrip will get Shved at the back-up point guard (it has to happen right?)

I'm not expecting anything from Shved anymore Adelman has broken him, he looks so depressed sitting on the bench. But how nice would it be if he goes like 4/9 and gets 8 assists, ahhh a man can dream

If Love is obviously hurt why play him? This game means nothing relatively speaking compared to Love's health

Jeffers before Shved, lol

Shved/Jeffers/LMAM/Cunningham/Turiaf - who the hells suppose to score in this lineup? lol

I agree, kiwi...also not fair to give Alexey those four guys when he hasn't played much PG this year. To his credit, he found Dante in his spot for a nice assist.

Cunningham will be frothing at the mouth. All of sudden his 20 foot jumper is probably the most effective scoring option with this lineup.

Closed circuit to Rick Adelman. Are you watching your benchwarmer Alexey Shved...4 points and 4 assists and no turnovers in 6 minutes, despite the offensively challenged lineup you gave him.

And you went with Barea all year as a backup PG. :furious:

Alexi doing what our other back up point can't - setting up team mates.

Yeah, and they just look so much more engaged knowing the PG might pass to them. I don't even mind the missed alley oop connection with Jeffers...at least he's trying to be a point guard.

The rim protection by Dieng and Turiaf has lifted this team. The Pek/Love starting frontcourt should be dead!
