Great work digging up the numbers. Particularly taking into account that Tmac and Deke aren't playing. It leaves a reassuring feeling for what's about to happen tonight.

Each game is a new game. It's elimination day for one of the teams, and only one has 3Ls. I believe. I do. I also would like to see some D mixing. Ron-Ron on Aldridge. Browery on Roy; stay in front of him. Make him shoot over, and not from the line. And, please, in the hallowed memory of Rudy T and Hakeem and Super Mario, Kenny even, please please please some O spacing. I believe. I do. Next game is on the coast. In SoCal.
