KATs jumper will be what separates him from every other big in this league and what makes him truly great. It's so smooth and effortless .

Agree, and I would add his ability to put the ball on the floor separates him from a lot of centers too

I don't understand Belly as first guy off the bench. I guess Sam really wants to get him going, but he doesn't deserve to be ahead of AP.

That will be true for a while but I think that skill will fade long before he's done being a great basketball player. That jumper will have some longevity!

It's about development, right? He has to spread the minutes around, especially with guys like AP and Belly who aren't getting many to begin with, then compete for the very same minutes.

Good Baz made the trip!

Good Baz made the trip!

Yeah...nice minutes! A sweet floater, setting up for another successful 3, a terrific hard foul to send Drummond to the line, and an offensive rebound to get us another point.

Really good to see Belly make two nice plays...baby steps.

Nice 1st quarter! Unfortunately, I have company over and need to go be social. I will have to watch the rest of the game later.

Make sure we continue down the path that leads to the playoffs!

We're fortunate to be up 7 with Drummond getting 9 (!) first quarter rebounds. Terrific first quarter defense again, even with KG missing.

Well Bazz is keeping us scoring.

Really good minutes for Bazz including a dish to Tyus.

I've had enough Belly for the night
