    Will James Anderson play tonight? Or be stashed to the end of the bench. I'm intruiged by this guy, his skillset fits perfectly for our team.

    Who cares how many points they drop on us as long as we're getting the last laugh. Harden drops 30 on almost every team. :p

    A team WIN is more important than any individual stats!

    Haha you are right! It is so maddening when an opposing player suddenly plays above and beyond his normal ability when facing us :(

    i'm guessing unless its a blowout, they will keep him stashed on the bench for at least a few games. Will be interesting to see if he can provide a bigger lift off the bench than Cook. Also he needs to be a "lockdown" defender to really carve out a niche/role in this offense IMO.

    It matters because it directly affect our chance of winning.

    Lebron or Durant scoring 30 is not disturbing, because that's how they play against every other team.

    But if a player who averages 18 ppg suddenly scores 40 on you (OJ Mayo), or someone who averages 16 ppg drops 35 (Batum), then it reflects a larger problem with our defense overall (perimeter defense specifically).

    McHale already said that Anderson needs a "couple practices." Given we're on the road most of the month it might be a while before we see him in game.

    Think Morey is working out a move to open a roster spot, we have to wait until that happens.

    No Eric Gordon! Score. That just makes this game a lot easier.

    Let tonight be the beginning of a new 22 game winning streak! :)

    Remember the good ol' 2008 days?
