This was similar to the third quarter we had against the Blazers last week. Nice to see things clicking.

It's nice having a legit second scorer on the team in Gordon. Hopefully he stays healthy this year.

Seventh consecutive double-double for James. He's having an insane year.

This is random, but man, really wish we hadn't made that Beasley-Ennis swap. Beasley is doing well for the Bucks.

7-4 on the road. Getting two of the next three would make it a heck of a road trip.

Gonna be tough. Warriors is probably a L, and we never seem to play well @Denver.

He should. Only shots he needs to be taking are layups and dunks with a quick hook every now and then.

Clint capela is playing the way Dwight should've played the last few years. No need for consistent back to basket game. Roll, Dunk/Layup. Repeat every open possession

Dwight had his ego which he couldn't overcome. If he didn't get the touches on offense he wanted, he wouldn't get max effort on defense.

It was always funny with Dwight. His postgame sucked but he thought he was Olajuwon

Yep. And Ennis is out of the rotation with Bev back. I have to believe the Rockets thought D Mo was a lock to come back when they made this trade.

Dwight wanting more touches was allegedly one of the reasons he and James didn't get along. He could have been a monster in the pick and roll game but decided he didn't want to do that.

Like a needle in a haystack, I actually saw a good post on Clutchfans that pointed out how if Dwight had submitted to play how Clint is playing, he could've had some of the best numbers of his career. Glad to have a dude with no ego like Clint.

Yep. Wouldn't expect him back, possibly ever in the NBA. Dude is trying to bargain with, uh, no actual bargaining power.

Wants more money than players better than him despite having a back that could end his career at any moment.

Not having D-Mo turned out to be a blessing. It opened up time for Dekker to play the 4 who could turn into a really good player. He is way bigger and athletic than I thought. If he develops a consistent 3 point shot he could become a real match up problem.

Other than the monster numbers James is putting up running points beard I think Dekker is the most pleasant surprise this season so far. He is a lot more athletic than I previously gave him credit for.

For me it is Clint all the way. Over the last 7 he's averaging 16-9-3 while shooting over 63%. That isn't All Star #s, but that is exactly what you need from your center on this team with guys like Harden, Gordon, Anderson, & Ariza scoring who outside of James's 30 a night they can give you a solid 12-15 nightly.

Clint playing the way Dwight should have played has definitely helped us to our good start.

"Gobert has the highest reach in the NBA, being able to touch 9'7".... so he only has to jump 3 inches to touch the rim."
Should I tell him, or does someone else want to?

I can only remember like 2 missed shots from the Jazz that quarter.

This is ridiculous. Sure there's been some bad defense on our part, but they're playing out of their minds.

Can we please make a trade for one of Sacramento's 5 centers?!?! Having Clint as our only above-the-rim player aint gonna work.

Well I figured we'd have a tough time guarding them, but I didn't think it would be THIS bad. Lucky for us, not too many teams have a center as good as Gobert.
