Julius really needs to step up or this one's a loss

Not sure why they didn't challenge that.

Joan got his elbow.

He's already looked overwhelmed on defense.

Man, this game shows how reliant we are on Rudy at the rim defensively and keeping possessions alive on offense.

Gobert and Naz out injured. Joan and Randle in early foul trouble. Running four undersized guards together. Not a recipe for victory that's for sure.

We'll see what happens
The whistle has been very unkind to them so far, and like I said, Julius is playing really poorly

That call that travel on Bones, but if he took 2 steps back and then changed pivot feet he would be okay.

Might need ANT to play the entire 2nd half…

If they can settle down there is still plenty good chance at this one. They didn't really play bad first half, was more just messy and the early foul trouble really threw them off.
