I think Ant fooled me with the I wake up at noon bit and play video games. It sounds like Ryan has done a great job with him though too, he's not handed him a starting gig and he's been challenged in practice against Beasley.

Sam Mitchell always harped on the AAU style of play and the fact that Lavine, Wiggs, KAT and crew couldn't get in a proper defensive stance. I liked Sam.

He's just so damn likeable. Like a fine spanish tempranillo.

Casey making the right call putting in rose to penetrate the zone

What's not to like when he's filling up the box score with *checks notes* 3, 2, and 2 in 21 minutes. He's a mad man out there.

Dlo off balance fading towards the baseline is horrendous. Dumbest shot possible

Fuck you refs

Really swallowed their whistle on Beasley's last drive. Should have been free throws.

I know Ryan isn't popular here, but I'm sympathetic. He knows so much more about basketball than his two max players, and he knows they are hugely talented but can't defend. He has to play them, but he knows their flaws.

KAT has 10 shots. Thats half as many as he should be taking if we want to win.
