Singler or English should be the MVP, both had a great game. Both look ready for being inserted into the rotation: Prince-Singler at SF (with Jerebko playing the SF/PF spots) and Stuckey-English. Very solid at both ends and with confidence, I really like them. Drummond played better this second half and almost scored in double figures. He rebounded and defended better but had another airball from the line...No problem...we have a Shaq project in progress, hehehe. Hard to tell if he'll ever get to the .500 from the line, as someone pointed out above...On Middleton, well, he was missing in action, barely present. I can remember only one made shot from him. Anyway, my biggest dissapointment of the game was Macklin. He wasted one of his chances to prove something. He missed two uncontested dunks, couldn't belive it. No progress so far on his game (no post moves, no jumpers, no defensive presence, no dunks) what makes me understand why didn't we take the team option on him. He keeps as raw as his first game as a pro. Good move by Joe D, no question. Well, the game is over and we got the win. Singler or English should be the MVP, both had a great game.

I did see they had foul trouble, but Kyle Singler had only a +1 point differential with him on the floor and I was wondering if he was just paired in the lineup with some of the bench players who got killed offensively or if he is all that much of a defensive player?
