That's good to see. I feel like a lot of the reason Brandon Knight is struggling right now is that he's trying to be an Andre Miller type point guard when in fact he's more of a scoring point. I also think that this struggling is a good thing. He's developing his game and going away from his strengths but long term it ought to make him much, much better because he'll be able to play both ways more. It feels good to get win number three.

This is the type of game everything was flowing hell even will bynum played under control. More minutes for Dre period Frank i have seen enough too say Dre needs to play. Now we need to make a trade still to many pieces that are out of place on this team.

Knight saw that Lowry was hurt and took it right to him. Just like "Embrace the Process" thought, I too think Knight called it for himself. Monroe should've done the same with Jonas V's injury. Drummond, Monroe, and Knight finishing it off well. Tay played his Tay game haha. Good win. But seriously, can we please trade one of the bench players for Marshon Brooks of the Nets. He ain't even playin in Brooklyn but he's definitely got some talent that we desperately need (he can shoot outside and create his own shot)  I loved the last play.
