TJ is as good or better than several Wolves he's sharing the floor with

I like seeing him there, Cool, but I don't think it means much with respect to his injury. He's still week to week.

Conley release looking slower then Andersons.

Mike found something!

I like seeing Mike make shots almost as much as his teammates do!

I like the 'let Ausar create' strategy.

Ha, and let him shoot! Terrific defender though.

This game is just another example how Ayo offers more consistency than Donte.

I think you'll get your wish next season, Tim, with an Ayo/Ant backcourt. And Donte has had a poor defensive game (except for that one block!). But you can't dispute the value Donte has provided this season...far and away our best on/off performer. I don't see Finchy making a move this season, unless he makes an "adjustment" move in the playoffs.

What a fun half, huh guys? Ant's going to be our man in the playoffs, but tonight is another example of how much more fun we are to watch when he's out...better pace and terrific hustle on defense.

Lets be real though...we're in this game because Mike is 4 for 6 on threes. And relying on Mike is not a prescription for winning this season. We generally need either Donte or Bones to be hot beyond the arc to win (I have no stats on this...just gut feel), and tonight they are 0 for 7. One of them is going to have to step up in the second half if we're going to steal one here.
