To be clear, this is not me panicking over our start. It’s early in the season, I am not even remotely concerned. This also isn’t about Taurean Prince, who is actually playing quite well and who I’ve been pleasantly surprised by.

No. It’s just becoming clearer and clearer that the narrative about C. Wood is all wrong. Guy has been playing solid defense, hustling well, and most importantly, he and AD look absolutely terrifying when out there together.

If he’s going to compliment our best player like this, I think it’s something we should at least try at some point. I love watching them out there together

    Him and AD are just an excellent fit. It would suck to move Prince to the bench though. Ideally you could play him at the 3. Maybe slot LeBron at point?

    Starters: LeBron/D’lo/Prince/AD/Wood

    Bench: Reaves/Vincent/Rui/Vando/Hayes

    Christian and Prince really the only ones who have been making an impact on our team out of the new pieces. Gabe actually played much better against Orlando; more controlled and finally got a 3pt. Hopefully he improves from there. But Cam should not be out there. Sure, he played some defense, but he is legit a liability on offense. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt in the preseason, but he has not been showing promise. And AR is in some sort of funk right now. Might be tired from FIBA or just out of his groove right now. Hopefully he doesn’t fall off, because he was a huge part of why we made it as far as we did last season. Bron still Bron and AD is starting to ramp it up it seems like. D’Lo is playing well, but he has been kinda careless with the ball sometimes. Overall, I think this team is still trying to figure out the chemistry, but I don’t think they are bad at all (besides Cam). I think Darvin needs to stop being a player’s coach and start making serious decisions/rotations if he wants to win. The big line up with AD/Wood/Bron should be implemented into the starting line up. Also #FreeBabyKobe. Like just 10 minutes of actual playing time.
