Wow. Adding a big man!

Giles was a great signing to cover Wood and Vanderbilt being out with injury for awhile. Can do both defense and offense and several have likened him to being another Hachimura!!

Lakers' LeBron gets his 40,000 points mark but the Lakers lose to the Nuggies by 10 again.

Good win last night.

The Lakers played some good defense on those young Thunder cats.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hope we match up with them in the playoffs.

Kings collapsed late and gave up a sizable lead to the Bulls. Those upcoming Kings games could be huge.

He got a few minutes late, looks athletic and smooth at first glance. Tried some shots but didn't hit, did rebound a bit. Things got pretty messy when they threw in the end of the bench, as expected lol.

JHS was looking confident and aggressive (been playing lights-out in the G-league), but was still missing his shots. Maybe a bit too amped up...

Oh.....I agree.

I liked that a lot.

They need him to play some defense with those guys out right now.

Good signing and maybe he will stick for the long-term!

He's a 2-way (replacing Windler), so he's not eligible for the postseason. This could work as a long form tryout to see if he could be in their plans for next season. But for now, he's the emergency big until Wood and Vando are back (Castelton I assume is out for the season).

That is what I was thinking too.

I'm wondering if there are any minutes for him when he does. Dinwiddie has taken his spot.

That has turned out to be a bad signing.

Well, it's the first year of a 3 year deal. And it's been because of injury. He could be a sparkplug when he returns.

Little early to judge since it's not a 1 year deal.

Hopefully next season he can at least approximate (and improve upon) what Dinwiddie is doing now.

I have a tendency to agree with ALR on Vincent. Things may change in the future but right now that signing looks like it is growing into a suckie signing.

I think he can be better.

Dinwiddie has disappointed me greatly
