SL Game 1: Dallas Mavericks vs. GS Warriors | 6:00PM CST | ESPN
Mentioned even before the 3 that Rez form looks good. I am already going with the overreaction that he will have a long solid career Smile.

 He'll be better than PJ.

Looks like they nailed that Johnson pick. De Larrea looks much better in 2nd half. Maybe the bumped knee bothered him a bit in 1st half. Lawal and Ishchenko feel like Masai/Schmitz made a Trading Places bet. Masai can pay out. He lost.

Oh wow. That's a strong statement, but we will see. He definitely looks good so far.

Tyler Smith with the crazy block, dunk, then hits a 3. Maybe hes trying to repair his image.

Our guards are consistently missing Ishchenko over and over. He keeps getting wide open off a cut and they miss him.

He looks fluid and I said that his fluidity was better than Harrison Barnes’s. 

However let’s be real. This is SL. Those guys have been pros for a long time because it takes a lot of discipline, mental toughness, luck with injuries and insane consistency to be solid pros for so long. Yaxel has a long way to go to match that   It’s not easy.  

I agree about his skill level. Looks like a natural.

Not worried about De Larrea. It's a whirlwind and he has been playing a lot lately. Key is that he looks competent which is what counts. Those shots will go in most nights.

My goodness every time Ishchenko touches the ball something good happens.

A bit disappointed with Nemby. I know he is also human and his place in this league is not guaranteed. So he is pressing a bit  

However at his size he alsi has to be smart enough to realize that his floor leadership and pass first mentality will keep him in the league much longer than being a smaller shoot first PG. 

Ish is getting to where he wants to go. Just the shots are not falling.

Stereotypes are real. Euro guys by far the best passers on the team.

That left-handed sky hook of a skip pass to the corner off the dribble was bananas.

Holyshit that one-handed pass from Ishchenko. Even Luka would have been proud.

Nemby continues to disappoint running the offense. Forcing a lot of bad shots.

Larrea makes the right choice. Shots just not falling.

Can he be the starting PG next game?

Larrea/Ishchenko/Johnny/Tobi/Morez will be interesting to see.
