    +19 blocks and them shooting 30% from the field.

    The fact that this was a single digit game is insane

    They really need to get the turnover issue under control but unlikely with the passes KPJ attempts.

    I liked seeing Jabari’s confidence build toads the end. If he is confident his shot will fall and his D will dominate. Patience folks. He’s not in a good system for his skills.

    loved seeing Sengun play well on both sides of the ball. Great effort and his D is improving.

    speaking of D, Garbuba is the best defense player on this team and needs major minutes every night from now on. I don’t want to hear about Bruno unless Sengun or Garuba goes down.

    KPJ is so talented and remains our best clutch player, but he’s a ball stopper with limited court vision, and really takes other guys out of the offense. If we move him to the 2 his life gets easier and ball move my gets better. So DO IT!!!!

    Green started off hot, but when the offense when back to KPJ it seemed like Green didn’t know how to fit in. He’s a confidence guy; give him the ball!!!!!!!

    KJ has bad hands and bad handles. Nix showed some flashes he’s but turnovers still an issue. Tari doing what Tari does in limited minutes. EG continues to look slow and also too much ball stoppage.

    most of all I loved watching Wood get owned block after block by guys giving up 4-5 inches on him.

    He's had very selfish stretches in that game. He's generally been pretty good this game. If he could just stop going Iso 5-6 posessions in a row sometimes.

    When I saw Garuba getting ready to check in, I was like

    “oh cool! We get to see Garuba and Al-P in together!”

    because my ass couldn’t fathom why we’d take out Sengun who probably had one of the best defensive games of his career.

    That said, Uzi closed out the game strong as all hell so I’m not upset.

    I may be a tad upset about Green and Sengun combining for like… 0 points in the 4th quarter(what was up with Jalen’s balance today?) but they both played hard on the other end and I always appreciate that.

    If it takes a horrible outing like the Clip gm for KPJ to play smart, he should re-watch that tape before every game. Still killed the flow plenty tonight but overall much more controlled.

    Nice win, but, this is the first time I have been able to see them play. My impression, they appear to be poorly coached. They look disorganized at times, and that is putting it mildly. There is a boatload of talent on the team, but they seem to need someone who knows how to "put it together."

    Luka is a important part to their team, it’s important to have a quality point guard
