Light the beam !!
I love this new version of key off the bench he was shooting 17% as a starter and now he shoots 33% coming off the bench and averages more minutes than anyone coming off the bench
Collier had a very good game. The first bench stint killed our team. Just let flip get punked with no help for 6 minutes. A power forward will never work at center. Only centers can play center. His post defense and rebounding is a plus at PF and a massive negative at center. His mobility gives him a better chance to defend on the perimeter than his size does at center. Plus he has good instincts. Kelly olynyk has been getting minutes for a decade and flip is already a more capable defender than Kelly was
The kings REALLY out physical-ed us last night, Flip looked shell-shocked against Sabonis and Cody took a bump in the third quarter that sent him back to Colorado. Great game for the rookies, shows them what needs to be done
