Jaylen is starting...against Bron. Good luck, kid.

With Zeller still or someone else?

 Geeze, throwing the kid straight into fire. It would be awesome to see him posterize James, though.

Looks like Stevens is mainly starting him to keep Smart running the second unit. He really doesn't have faith in that second unit, huh?

Stevens also said Crowder looked much better today, but it's probably closer to two weeks he'll be out, which is what most assumed. That sucks though because we have a back to back against the Knicks and Pacers next Friday and Saturday.
Does he have a reason to trust the second unit without Smart?

Seriously.

I like it to get Smart coming in and getting him the ball.  I think he looked a bit uncomofrtable there last game in a way I expect him to improve on a lot going forward.  Let him run some pick and rolls.

it's gonna be a tough game, but man, it'd be so sick to give the cavs their first L tonight.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Fun early season game, but my expectations are low with no Crowder/Horford/Olynyk and on the road. Hopefully we put in a good showing and maybe sneak out the W.

...speaking of which, some memory lane material:

Need KO on that unit also, than it becomes much better.

I'd like to see more mix of players rather than a second unit. Young guys do so much player when they have solid veterans on the court with them.

A big and/or irregular rotation never works in the NBA.

I like Brown's mentality for tonight. Says that if he ever wants to get to Lebron's level, then he has to go through Lebron himself. I like him embracing the challenge like that.
