But Rob for those two mins that ant was out with his hustle and that lob Gobert was difference in the game.

Ant easily could've came back to the game down 5 but he got to come back with us still having the lead.

Killing the minutes that he gets

Missed you guys have had alot of life stuff going on. But always know I’m there reading.

Rob still can't buy a bucket, but the rest of his game was good. If you distribute, protect the ball, rebound, and hustle on defense, you can still be a +10 in 12 minutes even if you're not scoring. Reed Sheppard has turned things around in his second year. It would be huge if Rob can do the same thing.

Just finished watching, what a game!

Maybe Bones really is it. We're in the Bone Zone baby

Really makes a huge difference to have the bench contribute real minutes

Superstar game from Edwards and what an incredible performance by Rudy just unreal basketball from him

^^^This is the way for Rob. If he leans on hustle, being a pest defensively, making plays for others, and pushing the pace I have a feeling the scoring and shot making will come eventually. I mean, he literally can't get worse as a shooter!

If his inability to make shots is forcing him to do a bunch of the other stuff better, it's going to make him potentially more valuable than a pure scorer that hemorrhages points on the other end. But at some point he is going to need to start making shots! He can't keep shooting this bad and expect to keep playing in the NBA.

Nori gave him a little extra leash and he ended up making some huge plays. Hes too quick not to use as an advantage in spots. I hope Finchy was watching.

Yeah, the Bones option is feeling more real when he does it against the best of the best. Nice bounceback after a letdown in Memphis.

I honestly think Finch would have lost that game. Bones started getting a little careless with the ball and Nori gave Rob a second half stint. In that stint he didnt pull him over a turnover, a missed shot and some ticky tack fouls. Rob ended up responding with hustle and some quality defensive stops. Love it.

Honestly all the Memphis game said is that a starting role is still a bit too much for him. But him coming out and hustling and making those type of plays that you need on the margins is a game changer for this team.

Really hope they can ride this
