Re: the SH/KL Lively debate: I think that what you're missing out on big time, SH, is what popped to me the most about Lively in the SL games so far - this kid is smart. He learns and adjusts quickly. If he is mentored by TC (and DP, eye roll) for the next two months, I think we'll be seeing a much better player in the pre-season based on that alone. My prediction is that he's getting 20 mpg by the end of the season (not overall season average, hell no), and making quite an impact when he is on the court.
As far as how they're viewing the season, once again, I do not have high hopes for the Luka/Kai pairing. Do I think they could mesh together and make it work, especially if surrounded by good defenders? Of course. Does Kidd have the skills to do it? Oh hell no. This team making the playoffs this year hinges on a mid-season coaching change. Hope Nico has the stones to do it.
