Tied the franchise record for pts in a half. Finch contract extension incoming

Playing with some purpose tonight. Good pace, nice ball movement, 25 point lead.

I know! That’s the stat that matters…

+12, which is only 6th on the team.

Interestingly, Ayo closed the half instead of Donte. I think Ayo is a better running mate with ANT than Donte, but it’s doubtful we see a starting lineup change mid season. We might see Ayo closing halves more often.

I'm loving the burst Ayo uses when he has a sliver of open lane.

I hope this summer they can get a 1st rd pick for Donte. Ayo makes Donte expendable. If they end up doing the Giannis trade, also this summer, they could also get back Trent Jr. who does alot of what Donte does on offense. Also is known as a better defender than Donte. And will be almost 1/3 the salary. Yes i am sure Ayo will get a Naw level extension. And if we can also get back Portis As well, makes Julius expendable since we would be getting physicality from Giannis. Naz starting with Giannis and Portis to come off the bench. Honestly the more and more i see the roster construction, the better it is going to work for Ant.

Julius is really in his feels tonight with these passes. We got a good mood Ju tonight.

I like it. Good Mood Ju and Bad Mood Ju.

They are letting the rope go a little bit

That was a proper dustup
