I preach patience so I too will be with Mudiay. Be interesting to see who gets the minutes and where for the next 5 games.
Im ok with Knox getting the nod. Time to push thru.

Westbrook is out for this game

Ugh. Then we have a better chance at winning. :-(

Yeah, OKC is still pretty good at basketball. One of the top defenses in the league.

Either way, we have a roster full of bench and role players so I expect line up shuffling all year...

I can understand the argument for taking Frank. I don't agree, but I understand. I'm confused about Dot. He's been consistent on D and his hasn't been a disaster. If anything, he should more aggressive.

This. Not sure why Dotson is being pulled as a starter.

Dotson is not a starter in this league at this time in his career and certainly NOT at SF.


Knox isn't really a starter at this point either. The dude showed he can defend and rebound like a SF. You think Knox or Hezonja could've defended Kawhi like Dot did? His scoring took hit, but I believe that's more of an indictment on the offense overall. His job is to move without the ball, spot up and attack closeouts.

Knox is 6'9, Dotson is 6'5.. Dotson is not a SF. When Fiz took over he stated he didn't like a guard at the SF position.

Briggs-- Frank is 2 yrs away from being 2 years away

Agreed...save for a 3 here and a basket there, Dotson has been invisible on the offensive end of late. Knox has way more potential than Dot and was drafted to be the future SF...this is an experimental season anyway so why not get out top pick in the lineup and let him develop.

Frank being unable to hold onto the PG spot is a huge letdown

He rebounds, defends the position, scores and shoots the three reasonably well. I don't think he lost the job like Lance or Frank based on his play.

No one playing defense except Vonleh. Mitch looks a little lost, others not even trying

Man this is ugly. Layups and dunks

And we’re trying acrobatic stuff

Let’s tighten the D and clean up the O
