Win or lose, Finch is going to feel vindicated for going back to his trusty old guys!

Jaden!! Stop scoring!! Make sure you don't get twenty.

He's been unbelievable...and I thought Jaden played him well on defense.

Yeah, Jaden's been great. It's really Reaves' play making that has impressed me. Super crisp passing for the most part. This zone has worked!

Jaden held him to 9 for 24 shooting and made him be a playmaker. Unfortunately, he made the last one though. Fun comeback though, but this is a game we needed to win.

That last one was on Rudy, he over-committed and it allowed Reaves to split the defense. To his credit, he still made a pretty tough shot. Again, best player on the floor tonight. Randle had his moments, but can't pick apart a defense in pick and roll like Reaves did.

They all count the same Fungo. Would have been nice to be rewarded for the comeback though.

Don't wait till the last 5 minutes to play defense next game and maybe we can win one?

You guys bitched all night about the starters, but the only one who was a minus was Randle.

I liked the look of our zone. You can't sit in it too much, but it's a good change of pace to show it each quarter.

One bright spot is Reeves is likely earning a max contract from the Lakers, giving them 2 white dudes that don’t play defense, taking a big part of their cap…

Not including the pacers games (I didn’t count) teams have scored on 86 of 110 possessions Rudy has been off the floor
