Yeah, and part of my use of the word tenacity references Grime's defensive prowess.

Defense. Toughness.

The losses against Brooklyn and Oklahoma left a bad taste in my mouth in this regard.

[elephant]

But there's Grimes too.

I'm assuming they're bringing him back gently.

His combination of tenacity and a 3-point touch is way too promising to languish on the sidelines of a middling team.

BTW, how do you like Sim's aggression at center?

I simply LOVE Jericho Sims

He fascinates me

Incredible hops

Good instincts for gathering in boards

And there is this inscrutable calm about him

Yes to each point!

He gets up so fucking high. And a nose for the rebound.

[chipstern]

Tenacity and touch both depend on having sound feet. No rush there, but yeah it would help to have him available and getting up to speed.

Announcers were speculating that R.J. has some sort of illness he is dealing with. 

Still, Thibs played him, what, 38 minutes? 

Made some good plays, but FTs took a step back at 7-12, and I believe he was 0-5 from trey. 

Cam played 33 minutes. 

Seems to me that between RJ and Cam there are maybe 8 minutes that could parsed off for Grimes, just to get him into gear. 

I also harbor the vague and misspent hope for Thibs to find some minues for Svi.  He is our best three point shooter, and we need someone to come in and nail bombs on demand. 

In any event, more likely Sims keeps getting minutes when MR returns, than that Thibs extends his rotation much beyond 9-10.   

My hope, vain as it might be, is that Thibs finds more time for Julius and Obi to be on the court together.  Obi is our best three point shooter, and in 18 minutes last night he nailed 3-of-4 treys, with 6 boards AND 4 assists, only one foul and no turnovers.

Matinee Idol Looks. 

A handsome young man, who projects as a quiet, sensitive, thoughtful, focused young brother.

Jesus. The Heart Machine is missing an awful lot of rebounds.

[carlos123]

All of you haters, just shut up and be thankful for KING JULIUS!!!

[elephant]

Like, wow.

[facilitatorn]

We found a top gear tonight.

Interesting closing lineup.

GS will be a much much tougher opponent.

[lesterluv]

That was nice.....

A very fine closing lineup. Best part was RJ wasn't in it. For the life of me can't figure out how he got 31 minutes when he sucked for each and every one of them. ***

Loved seeing Obi out there with Julius and then loved seeing Thibs pull him when necessary for Sims.

Love how IQ doesn't chuck 40 footers any more, was almost really impressed with his new game until he looked off Rose at the end of the 3rd to dribble his way into a 24-second violation.

Way more good than bad. JR was a beast, which is what he is supposed to be.

Nice start to the trip.


*** Thibs is SUCH an asshat, lol, can't hide from the facts!

Classic Thibs moment last night. Even with a healthy RJ, his poor play (he was out of it) should have resulted in half those minutes. Not with Thibs.

We have guys who can play on the bench!

But then to hear Breens again and again talk about how RJ is fighting through some illness...why in the fuck was he out there?

[elephant]

Also thank the gods for a real point guard.

Also Sims is making a case for minutes when Mitch returns.

Also the desire of Julius.

Illness evidently going through entire team

Thins went 9 man again since it worked.  Expect more vs GS.

[kiidcarter8]

GOOD game for Hyland I see.

Are you sure?  Why?

As the season progresses you will realize it is more about how we play (can teams stop us) than who the opponent is.  Excepting of course the occasional game (OKC) where a team jut can't miss.

[lesterluv]

GOOD game for Hyland I see.

Excellent game, nice find for the Nuggets.

As for illness going through the team, had to be somebody on the bench less likely to cost us the game than RJ. Guy is like the 9th best shooter on the team and chucks it up like he's our Steph Curry.

Honestly, if he wasn't a number three pick and had a real coach, he'd be getting 10 minutes a game somewhere. 31 with the flu? At least Thibs woke up with 5 minutes left and decided to keep his job. Of course, he has to play him up until that point in order for Leon to keep his job.
