Ah, a sanctuary. Let's go over some green-goggled optimistic positives!
- Undermanned and facing terrible refs, fought NYC and MIA to almost a draw, but cost us the NOH game by overplaying our guys
- Rondo has been great
- Ray is on fire
- Sasha actually looked decent tonight
- KG, as Doc has said many times before, is a slow starter - he'll get into a rhythm
- JO had great looks, he's a good enough player to make those bunnies. They'll fall. Defensively, a lot of questionable calls taking him from great to terrible
- Dooling has a ton of energy and can play
- Daniels is savvy (that's all I've really got, he's disappointed me a lot so far - he needs Pietrus to push him to the 2)
- Bass might not like to pass, but he's got a bundle of energy, can block shots, knock down jumpers and can dunk. Sometimes, he shoots because there's no other real option
- Wilcox has a lot of energy, just getting the mental stuff down - gotta get healthy
- Steamer can make an easy bucket and blocks everything in his path - he'll get the mental rotation and rebounding stuff in time, he's a solid individual defender as is
- JJJ looked good in garbage time, a lot of aggression - probably not going to see much time this year but I liked what I saw
- Bradley/Moore - TBD haha both have a lot of potential and talent, just not all there yet
Yes, I'm leaving out a lot of the negatives but hey, it's the optimism thread. Beat the Pistons and take the Wizards twice and we're rolling again.
