Many hiccups this quarter, but solid performance all around.

The 3rd should start with Lowry - Demar - Landry - Amir - Val

Throw Rudy in with the 2nd unit in the late 3rd and early 4th, Augustin - Ross - Rudy - Hansbrough - Amir
3-pointer guards around Rudy who is ball dominant (so Augustin doesnt have to worry about running the offense) and a rebound heavy front line.

Give Amir a break at the start of the 4th, and play Val + Hansbrough, play Val the entire 4th, with Amir joining him in the last 6 minutes.

at 6 minutes sub Lowry, Demar, and Landry. Let Rudy sit out the last 6 minutes.

We play Philly twice in the first 20 games and we were all considering them near-auto-wins. I think now we have to consider them potential losses.

26 pts, 10 ast, 3 st for MCW.

wow. My mind goes to the night when BC traded our pick...

Raps never would have had a shot at him

[white men can't jump]

you mean smart vet right?

If that's what you like calling him, fine. But Pachulia's reputation is pretty well known across the league. He's often mentioned as arguably the dirtiest player in the league.

[enlightenment]

Wow. MCW... who wouldve guessed?

Yup.

We ended up having the 12th pick overall. MCW went 11th. If we had wanted him, we could have traded up easily enough.

Them being 3-0 is very impressive, but they've been down big in all 3 games and they've all been close. I doubt Spencer Hawes will be hitting big shots on a consistent basis.

We traded the pick before the season even started, come on.

Two of their wins were over Miami and Chicago. Calling them out because those were close wins is a little nuts. I don't think anybody thinks Philly's run is sustainable in the long haul, but MCW is showing All-Star level talent here.

[Machine]

Wow. MCW... who wouldve guessed?

so glad I picked him up in fantasy after opening night.. wow 2 wins against supposedly championship contenders

[magoon]

Yes, that's sort of the point of asking "what if we hadn't traded the pick."

Yes, that's sort of the point of asking "what if we hadn't traded the pick."

To be fair, nobody in this organization would've been thinking that because we thought Lowry was our guy..
