Tyus showed some fire and confidence.

I liked Crawford's game. Lets see if the old man can keep that energy level up over 82 games though.

Piece-a-pizza looked good in his short stint. He seems to be bulked up a bit too.

I think we'll see the second unit do better than the other team's second unit many times this season.

I saw a lot of good in the game...majority played lousy and missed a ton of shorties and were in the game until the end.

Probably because San Antonio was missing Leonard and Parker. It would have been a blow out otherwise.

Actually Parker playing would have helped....he can't guard anyone. Leonard would have shut down Butler---but he didn't do anything any way.

Leonard's impact on Butler is the least of what he does. Parker would have been fine defensively, since Teague was pretty well self guarding, not to mention Parker would have shredded Teague on the other end.

Status: offline 		My initial look at Tyus on Wednesday is that his strength/athleticism have noticeably improved. The and-1 in transition was nice, and his defense seemed better. Anyone else see the same thing? (I admit I didn't see a lot of him last year.)

He can get overpowered or "overathleticed", but his team defense is very strong. Kid know what he's doing out there.

Still waiting for the jumper to really come around.

When will people realize that Parker is not good any more. Spurs are better giving all the PG minutes to Murray and Mills.

Status: offline 		Let's crush these guys!

Although the Jazz are the closest thing there is to a non-Minnesota team I like. They have the GM that should've been ours, and he keeps going after all the players I like. Besides taking Ricky from us, he drafted Gobert (who I was screaming for draft night), Burks (my 2nd round steal that year), Mitchell this year too. And Ingles and Udoh were both guys I really wanted in free agency this year. Thabo was also on my short list of wings that I thought we had a shot at.

But now is the time to crush that stupid team with the mismatched name....

Mitchell is the real deal I think.

KAT with 2 fouls.

Teague is bricking everything. 3s and layups. He's not even close.

There is never a need to take a long contested 2 early in the clock. That's a "clock running out" shot.

Bench is struggling - other than Bjelica (who is playing well). Tyus, Dieng and Crawfoird all struggling.
