Hmm.. He has had a tough time hitting shots, but I have liked his effort. I think KMart is an important part of what we accomplish this year, and even in the next few years.

It's gotta be the freebasing. Oh wait, that's Richard Pryor...I always confuse the two.

LOL. I can see Richard Pryor. Good call! Hopefully he plays better than he looks.

Umm...he leads the team with 4 assists. And I'm pretty sure he actually had 5. Shooting horribly though.

Who was that side line reporter interviewing Bazz? (Giggity!)

Did you catch that shot of Miller and KG on the bench? Totally into the game. Two vets with nothing to prove completely invested in and focused on the game and their teammates. Contrast that with the earlier shot of Payne laughing and giggling on the bench. It's the difference between winners and losers. It's why Payne won't help this team and why he'll drift from team to team for a while before eventually finding himself out of the League before he's 30.

Giannis is a terrific defender, but he'll never be a scorer like Bazz. Tonight Muhammad has 13 points on 4 shots and Giannis has 7 on 5! The Freak will get fans on their feet, but Bazz will put the ball in the basket.

I'm honestly surprised to see that. The only one I could remember was the Bazz 3.

Loved it. I'm actually coming around on Prince too (although not as a starter, of course)

Towns averaging about a foul a minute tonight. Welcome to the NBA kid.

He also rewarded Bazz two other times when he curled to the basket and hit Ricky for a jumper. I thought I saw an assist to Gorgui too, but I can't describe it. I thought it was the best 0 for 7 half he has ever had!
