    Ant and Shae starting together w/o a real PG out there just can't work imho. Billups has to know that and is part of the tank.

    He's been using that starting lineup since Ant got back and Malcolm got hurt again. He wants to keep Toumani's defense out there front and center over moving Shaedon to SF and having Malcolm start at guard. Interesting with both our points guards coming off the bench.

    What's going to be nice is having Camara moved to SF again instead of Thybulle and having Grant and Camara at the forward positions.

    Grant may not be a great rebounder, but he was certainly putting in the effort in Utah when he got head-butted as he was fighting for rebounding position at the time.

    When Grant and Ayton are shooting like this the offense really gets cooking. Ant and Shae are waiting for the kick out.

    Ant is a better point guard than both scoot and brogdon. Lol

    Grant, Ayton, Simons a combined 12-12. That's cool, but not so cool that we're only up 3...

    Scoot goes from some nice reads to plays that look SO rough.
