Rest of the team lacking any enthusiasm and intensity.

Very much so. It's slow and ugly basketball. The only other player with any impact is Ty Lawson.

Rudy Gobert pulls down 11 rebounds in the first half off the bench :|

31 points at half time for Harden, 73-53 at half time

Faried finished only with 8 points. The Nuggs need Foye back, always provided that spark.

Yeah Faried never came back into the game. Played 21:22 total. As I touched on the other day, hard to get into a rhythm with those minutes. I know it blew out but every one not named Lawson & Afflalo played between 12-25 mins which happens most games. As a starter I'd be pretty frustrated with that.

Indeed, something needs to change...

Yeah was huge! Rose got the better of him early but once lowry settled he played a much smarter game. The dual between the two was actually highly entertaining

The duals are only get better imo Lets hope Lowry gets that allstar spot!

 

[nichj99]

He's got my vote!

 

[Grindnation]

He got my vote and also Jimmy Butler for the guards for east > Jwall

 

[ozballer23]

The kid deserves it, been a fan of his since his villanova days

 

[ozballer23]

double double from rondo in game 2 as a Mav

If they can get Deron, Smith, would fit nice with Dcuz and McLemore!

Not sure if I'd want smith around dcuz, dcuz is finally getting his shit together, not sure I'd want to risk smith coming in and messing up his head again with all the coach killer talk about him and a bad attitude

You're not wrong about his attitude. But given he gets that part right, he would be the perfect fit for the kings at a bargain price.

Faried plays the opening 5 minutes, gets benched. 2 points (1/2 shooting), 4 rebounds (3 offensive) & 1 assist. No Fouls. No turnovers. Not sure what else he needs to be doing out there to stay in the game.

Sorry, I'm highly critical of Brian Shaw at the moment.

Tbh i still don't understand why they are not playing him 30mpg, yeah hes still got a while to go but unless he's given a chance we will not know his full potential.
I'm glad i picked him up of the waivers in my Yahoo League both games he's done well for me since i've had him and he's only an upside to how he's played since the start of the season imo.

14 & 12 in 27 mins with 2 assists a steal & a block. Should be good fantasy value on 6/9 shooting
