While he's got clear flaws, Baker changes the tone on the floor. Every possession is like street brawl. Baker will not back down. It's hard not to want to fight too if you are on the floor with him. It's something that won't translate into the box score though for Baker.

It helps that there are no malcontents on the roster.

I see them playing hard, but if injuries mount, the healthy players might hit a physical wall by the All Star break.


I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, but Baker reminds of a poor man's Marcus Smart. Their box scores will rarely impress, but you can clearly see their impact on the floor. Everybody would be ranting about how underrated Baker is if he was on the Warriors. We're a crap team, so his flaws become magnified.

Always fascinated on the interest fans have on the 10 through 15 guy on a roster. Baker hustles but lets face it. If he is on a teams rotation, that team is probably not a playoff team.

Btw. Did you see Dotson. Been wondering why he is not getting any playing time! 😆
Seriously though, thought he was going to be first off the bench.

Very sad to see Knox go down, but I'm please Dotson is getting a chance, he played very well and under the radar in pre-season and appears to have put in a ton of work in the offseason- really hoping it pays off!

Have you noticed how Knox has had trouble with planting going to the basket in a couple of games. Not the case last night as that was a classic roll. But a couple of times trying to finish he seemed to have trouble planting. There was that easy miss of a dunk in pre season and a couple more times in regular season. Thought it was his kicks. Unfortunate. He was in a lot of pain. Thought it was worse.

Did not like that he signed with Puma —- the last time they ever made legit hoops sneakers was never and yes I remember the Puma Clyde’s.

I watched the game after I read this. I forgot he signed with Puma. Always wanted Clydes. Always got pro keds.

Pro Keds were good sneaks -- better than Chucks.

Last year, after being down 12 after being down 16...typically this team would fold. I know its early in this season, but I like the fight from our youngsters. Imagine playing Saturday's game with KP in the lineup.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree
