Crowder is looking like an excellent signing. If he can keep up this high level of play, then he's on a bargain contract, especially with the increasing cap. I love that three-man unit of Smart, Bradley, and Crowder.

I like this starting lineup a lot, actually, even if it's not our best lineup. 

Zeller and Lee in particular are a fun pairing, and Crowder is impressing me in his ability to assume occasional responsibilities as a pick and roll ball-handler.

The shot selection has skewed toward mid-range, though.  But I kind of like opening things with this bigger, more conventional lineup and then blitzing opposing benches with the supercharged waterbug guard and the combo-bigs.

Me too.  I like how we are able to mix and match defensive assignments from those 3 to make things tough on the other team.

Love our versatility with defensive matchups. Having players that can defend multiple positions means we can move guys around to stop the hot hands. Going to be one of our team strengths this season.

I feel like we are back handing Sully. He works hard to get in shape and then we start David Lee over him. Smh.

That pull-up three from Carroll is an element this Raps team was missing on the wing last year.

In shape? Have you seen him?

I really am not quite getting the hate for Lee so far.  He's been a good fit with the starting lineup.  That very young group needs a veteran on the floor with them.

I have a huge reservation on our starting bigs. They're noticeably weaker defensively than all our bigs, in particular David Lee, and Zeller is looking quite bad defensively so far this season. And this is important to point out because their offense doesn't look any good either.

Lee and KO out there now ... seems like asking to get destroyed inside.

Yep, they weren't getting to the second round before signing Carroll because you can't rely on DeRozan's shooting

You have to take a charge on those Jonas post-ups. He's setting it up to be an easy offensive foul call...
