Shot 32 3s and made 14. Wiggins and Kat scored 13 of the last 15 pts. Wiggins dunked. Kat with a clutch block. We held a team to 100 pts. Cam and Cool agreed on something :).

Thibs and Taylor hugged at the end of the game when huge smiles on their faces.

I had fun. 2-0


Great stuff, great game. Us die-hards deserved tonight after the shit storm over the past few weeks.

That's part of his value but something Tibs will fail to capitalize on. Too me that was very disappointing.

When Kat picked up his 4th and was taken out, Tibs put In Gorgui. I mean are you f'ing kidding me. He has a fairly versatile lineup but is clueless on how to use it.

I mean... it was their first game on the team lol. It's smart to ease them into things, play them how they are most comfortable and not get too crazy. He also did play Saric towards the end of the 4th and pulled him to put KAT back in.

Plus... Cov was beasting on the wing... why mess with that?


Oh so it's too early to play a more Advantageous lineup? Lol, makes sense.

Tolliver can't be happy and Tyus isn't going to be when Rose plays.

It won't get talked about much, but Okogie was great in this game. Second on the team in +/- and was efficient offensively. Also was a hound on defense. Love seeing him take charges!

Agree on enjoying it. Thought the point on lineup combination was pretty legitimate, sorry you disagree.

Man oh man if he can keep hitting that 3-ball he could become a SG version of Covington. That is two tough hombres guarding on the wing and snagging loose balls. Just love how he plays.

Yes, Okogie is a badger. He will eventually lift the rest of the team with his play. Unfortunately he handles the ball like Wig.

I think Tolliver will be fine. He will get time. I am not nearly as high on Tyus as many on this board. He is the definition of "meh". Certainly, with the way Rose has been playing, Tyus should be an afterthought.
