Excellent win in Portland last night without 3 bigs (Booker, Zeller, Allen). Terrific D vs. Lillard and McCollum. Rondae becoming a very solid 2-way player. Even a loss in Utah tonight would make them 2-3 on this western trip which is about as good as one can expect from this team. Now 5-7 for the year which puts them on pace for around 35 wins, 15 more than last year. I’d certainly take that, especially without one of their best players (Lin).
Crabbe and dlo in particular.
Very good road win
Dinwiddie looks like an excellent backup PG, Crabbe's a solid 3 & D guy, and RHJ is turning into Gerald Wallace 2.0. Levert and Allen have showed flashes, would be great to see 1 of them find some consistency as the season goes along.
Really impressive job by Marks acquiring all of those guys (except RHJ) over the last 15 months with minimal assets. Exciting to think about what he'll be able to do with the picks and salary cap room over the next couple years.

The development of Dinwiddie is just another example of Atkinson being the point guard whisperer.
Hollis-Jefferson has been such a pleasant surprise this year. He seems more comfortable with the ball in his hands and less erratic with his shots and turnovers. Starting to think he may be a bigger piece of the future than I originally believed.
Getting DeMarre Carroll, a first rounder, and a second rounder in exchange for Justin Hamilton? That is what you call a steal. He is on pace for maybe the best offensive season of his career and is a terrific veteran influence for this team.
I'm not even a big Russell fan but I think that trade was terrible for the Lakers. I really don't understand the Lakers hype. What good players do they have? Lebron's going there to play with Ball and Kuczma?
tough jumper and the and 1 to ice it-- all under control. awesome game and he is really buying into the coaching staff and constructive criticism.
I'm rooting for D-Lo, since it would be SO sweet for him to end up a better player then Ball, but there is no way the Nets are an attractive spot for any FA with options right now. Not even close.
