J Lamb

[Silk City]

Last 5 games he's averaging 11.6 points on 56% from the field, and 47% from deep.

He has been much more consistent than pretty much anyone could have expected even if you look at his overall season numbers, and is starting to take more of Sefolosha's minutes at the 2. Great to see him fitting in on one of the best teams in the league.

The early season predictions of doom for OKC are just a distant memory.
The trade isn't looking so bad now.
They will win the West
Miami will pick up Okafor and win the east
Without a move like this Miami will not repeat.

Miami probably has their easiest road to a title in recent memory, at least this early in the season. This isn't their best team, but a lot has fallen into place for them. Considering two years ago they had to go through solid Knicks, Pacers, Celtics, and OKC teams that were all trending upward at the right time, this year they're looking at a borderline double bye leading to a ECF vs Indiana. The West looks great, but the talent is spread so evenly around and obviously only one team can come out. Also Miami has already beat the top 2 teams in the West in the Finals.

Indy and Miami are on a collision course, and it's hard to imagine the winner of that not getting 4 more Ws afterward.

Also, J Lamb had 26 minutes last night to Sefolosha's 20. He was the only OKC player with a positive +/- in their close loss at Portland.

I think he's going to get significant late game minutes in the postseason at the 2 (not worried about the starting role, since they liked Sefolosha to lock down opposing 2s even going back to the Harden days)

Now we just need to see Thabeet get back on track. OKC is a good opportunity for him and I don't want it be squandered.

Thats a wrap, Steven Adams went ahead of him on the depth chart Day 1
