Game Notes- Finally got a good scoring night out of Ty
- Faried looked good on the boards

Things to Take Away- Ty Lawson needs to get the ball in the basket
- Need to acquire a wing that plays both sides of the ball
-Iman Shumpert is a possibility, would appreciate suggestions
- Isaiah Austin might end up with the 6 man role
- JJ Hickson could be traded because he has been unsatisfied with his minutes Nurkic has been starting the past 3 games
