He will rain threes once Lebron gets back. I wouldn’t worry about him, teams still face guard him cause they know he can get hot. |
Try DLO, he is not getting good looks now and he has been rushing his shots. I wouldn’t worry about him at all. Nobody is going to leave him open like they did to walker |

Agree... He's always a threat when on the floor even if he's not shooting it well... I think AD and Schro has benefited from it also. They have more room to operate in the paint. |

Pleased with the W. Surprised Memphis is as competitive absent Ja, but I shouldn't be.

| If Beasley keeps struggling, maybe we should finish games with a DLo/Reaves backcourt (when DLo returns). That way we would have two creators who can also play off the ball and hit 3s at a high clip while also having a 2-guard in Reaves who is willing to play D and do some dirty work. |

Beasley isn’t even finishing games now and Reaves is.
It’s really if Dlo will fully replace Dennis in finishing lineups or someone else. |

Awesome night. A win, first and foremost!
But solid effort, despite some careless TOs and poor shooting. A beautiful Davis effort, and a Pau jersey in the rafters.
And to top off the night, a move into play-in spot.
Keep it going! |

| Davis is the only player one should expect to put up big numbers every game. Expectations should be different players stepping up each game on the offensive end. However, everyone who steps on the court needs to defend and rebound. |

Naaah…it’s time to start Reaves…need a starter that can impact the game without having plays ran for him. Bring Beasley and Rui off the bench when AD/LBJ are out and run plays for Rui/Beas to get the most effectiveness.
I strongly prefer NOT to play Reaves out of position at SF and Gabe out of position at C, both are less effective there.
Dlo/Reaves/TBjr(LBJ)/Vande/AD
Schro/Beasley/Rui(TBjr)/Gabe(Rui)/Mo

Yep, gonna go ahead and choose Vande so it’s:
Dlo/Reaves/TBjr/Vande/AD.
Vande doesn’t have to have plays ran for him to have an impact on the game so I chose him over Rui to close. Love Rui’s game from mid range and his rebounding is good at times too. Also capable of some defense. Put Rui in and run plays for him but close with Vande.

It’s too late in the season for Ham to still be messing with the starting line-up. Everyone understand their roles right now. No need to mess with it.
It does not matter if Reaves starts or not. Reaves is still getting his minutes and closing out games. That’s all that matters. |

AD may be fragile, but he was tough and willing to fight last night. He was breathing through his mouth and playing through pain. He had to be exhausted.
Mouth breathing does not effectively release nitric oxide, which means the cells are not getting as much oxygen as through nasal breathing, which could lead to fatigue and stress.
IMO he's still a Robin who needs a Batman but as Robins do, he's holding down the court until Batman returns.
An aside; The game thread was flawless. I don't know if the updates have been completed but what we got last night was great. Keep up the good work DB and staff. 🤙🏾👌🏾

Reaves shouldn’t start
Beasley benefit more with starters.
Reaves gives us good energy from bench. |

HBK's good where he is. He's a sparkplug coming off the bench without the pressure of being a starter. He doesn't need that weight right now. Let him learn and grow from the bench. If he keeps playing like he is his time will come.

Overall, Beasley is definitely struggling
Not quite sure what it is but it’s there
But that’s kind of the way basketball season goes isn’t it players are streaky even Austin Reaves has had some bad games
I think Beasley is good where he is because that bench is really doing it for us. I don’t wanna do anything to hurt his confidence.
Keep shooting Beasley the rest of the team is behind you |
