I guess we're not miserable. But as of right now, I think we're looking at a second round exit.
First round exit! *cough, cough*
NOLA GM is still posting with a chip on his shoulder.
Through 11 games, Horford is scoring a career-high 17.4 points on 64% shooting to go along with 9.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
And Eric Gordon is also enjoying what may be the beginning of a career year: 22.9 points on 45% shooting and 4.7 assists. This despite a shoulder injury that's ruined his three point stroke (8-47) and the Clips' dismal 1-10 record.
What about my sophomore point guard and rookie center that most felt weren't ready to start? I'm already prepared to close the book on Holiday, who is averaging 14.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.9 steals. Cousins season is a little harder to forecast, and his preseason production may have raised my expectations unrealistically. But he's about where I felt he'd be when I drafted him: 10.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 turnovers and 4.4 fouls in 22 mpg. And I like his fire on the court.
And my disregarded bench is playing well and features five NBA starters. The only change I'd make to my rotation is pushing Dorell Wright past Linas Kleiza as the team's 6th man. Wright in fact is playing so well that I might have to play more small ball than I'd planned. Wallace, Wright, Horford, Gordon or Bell, and Holiday?
