He weighs more than Gibson at virtually the same height.

Weight = strength

I think we can get right tonight.

But we have lost 3 in a row, while they have won 3 in a row in addition to competing well with some early juggernauts in losses.

I was researching before I picked us and was surprised to see Ibaka is down there. This will be an interesting game where we need our outside shooters to hit some shots and make it difficult for them to keep up with us, while occupying their interior length with the penetration and limiting chaotic turnovers from those exchanges.

We are a better rebounding and scoring team than they are, and if we take this game over 100 I think we win being at home. But you can bet this one will be tough and physical.

 

[clonetrooper264]

We've historically had trouble with Vucevic if I remember right. Hopefully Hoiberg uses Lopez more to curb that. Vucevic has had a slow start to the year scoring wise as well.

We have a chance if we move without the ball and share it like we did in the first games.

If the ball is stuck at one player and we play iso ball like in the last games we are basically screwed.

You mean to tell me that we can't just iso Wade all game for the win?

When we play the Rockets and Wade is guarded by Har_en, then YES!

 

[Crystallas]

The novelty of playing for your hometown team is wearing off. Now we need to rely on Robin Lopez and hope Niko uses his strength to win us a lot of games.

7 games. 7 blowouts. Interesting you can be involved in that and still look like a .500 team. (probably .550-.580 but right now they look .500)

Now I see why I always thought Robin Lopez sucked. Say what you want about Joakim, but at least he didn't have the audacity to shoot the ball everytime he touched it.
