    In truth, this may not make too huge a difference.
    He will be adjusting to a new role on the fly.

    I dont see Russ as one who adjusts to new situations all that well or all that fast.

    The line just moved again to -8.5

    A win is getting sweeter and sweeter.

    i honestly don't know what will happen tonight. we've had 5 days to "cool-off" and clippers need a win badly to get the media of their back. russ coming off the bench could galvanize them a little bit. All depends on Harden tonight ironically enough.

    but I know i won't watch it until tomorrow morning with coffee. 10:30PM EST start and we all know that really means the game is starting at 10:50PM. past my bed time fellas.

    If Dillon is guarding Harden, I predict one of his famous 2-14 nights.

    So, who guards who?

    FVV -> Mann
    Green-> Harden
    Brooks-> Kawhi
    Bari -> George
    Sengun-> Zubac

    Green = We win matchup
    Yellow = ????
    Blue = Lose this matchup

    I would love to see Brooks on Harden, but Green on Kawhi ?

    I'm guessing it'll be Jabari on Kawhi. Kawhi relies on his post up and midrange game, where Jabari's length might be more effective. Green is an improved defender, but he's still much smaller and weaker than Kawhi. Uncle Jeff might be our best Kawhi defender as he has strength, length, and experience.

    Say what you want about Russ but he was mostly a decent man.

    Why does MEM suck so bad this year? Ja is out but they still fared well in prior years when that was the case.

    I guess there is some sort of dark cloud hovering above them......maybe chemistry, maybe Jenkins.....but I think they had a mediocre Offense for years now......it is outdated.

    Agreed, the product on the court would be way better. B2B is nonsense.

    They lost Stephen Adams for the year.
