Hell yeah
Really interested to see what the rotation looks like with everyone besides Zion healthy. Unfortunately, it’s probably an end to Kira minutes.
He’s back! We need Dyson and Larry bad.
I feel a win streak :knock on wood:
Larry our third most important player don’t @ me
Nooo!
Hooray
Slowly but surely getting the band back together
He was out this long so he could get used to some form of steel ankle implants, yes?
Man’s ankles have the fragility of cracked glass😭
Some random thoughts about this. Feel free to downvote because not everyone is going to like it:
1) The pattern with Nance is he ends up playing heavy minutes because of the team’s deficiencies at the C position, and he gets banged up anchoring the defense. He’s being asked to do too much. They need to resolve this in the offseason because of his high injury risk. A mobile rim protecting C should be at the top of Griffin’s list. Imagine Nance playing PF and not having to contest every shot in the paint and not worrying about whether some taller guy will outrebound him.
2) Willie has a minutes issue with Dyson for some strange reason. He preferred Tae over him, despite Dyson being better on both ends. He also prefers to not finish games with Dyson. This shouldn’t happen if Herb is shooting poorly. Look for his rotations to make little sense again. Dyson will get the rookie treatment the moment he makes a mistake but other players won’t have the same leash.
mann just a couple of years ago we didn’t have any depth with bigs. So, lucky to have nance, willy, JV, and even jaxon at times
