We have a lot of work to do BUT
We are 4-2 on the road. That bodes well moving forward. Let's see how the rest of this road trip works out.
Rondo said he's targeting the 17th as a return date. So 5 more games until he gets back. This should slodify the bench some by having Moore as a reserve.
If Miller continues his recent play he will likely pass up Dante as the starter at the 3. Honestly he has already done enough to give him a shot compared to Dante's struggles to start the year.
We are currently tied for 9th place and only half game out of a tie for the 6th seed. We only have 2 more losses than the Warriors and Rockets. We are right where we need to be.
Now it's about finding consistency and that includes the effort every night. We are getting it from AD as usual and Cousins when he isn't gassed. Jrue really needs to step into that third scorers role. Hopefully he can do that when Rondo gets back. Jrue had quite a few easy layups on cuts in the preseason games before Rondo went out. Hopefully that will carry over.
I have to say I'm satisfied so far. They are sloppy and undisciplined at times but we have a lot of new pieces amd offensive wrinkles with Finch.
I am super optimistic right now though based on the way we played the Cavs. I know they are suckling right now but we showed how we are capable of playing. If they can figure out a way to duplicate that effort we will be really tough to beat.
For the love of all that is holy can someone make a three?
That is all.
