    Those are their five best players and they fit together. We'll see how Russell reacts to this demotion. If he is running the show off the bench like Westbrook used to, maybe well enough to get improved play from him. A bench with Russell, Vanderbilt, and Walker ain't bad. And Mo Bamba is supposed to be ready.

    If they get all the calls and a narrative builds around a win... weak. It'd be nice to have the Finals set tomorrow night and not have NBA to watch for a week. Likely won't be set for awhile. :confused:

    Well, damn. :eek:

    Likely too late, but if they did that work against the Nuggets's stating five, we're seeing a game 5 on Wednesday. :confused:

    Edit: 26 minutes ain't a large sample size. We'll see what happens.

    The Nuggets are making the old men look good. LeBron obviously, but even Tristan Thompson seems good again. No urgency. No focus.

    I mean, yeah, but this is a virtuoso half of basketball either way. And it will likely be in a win.

    Why isn't C. Anthony on the sidelines in Denver? Bridges burned?
