What a difference a shooter makes. Imagine when they get an actual starter.

That was a dominant performance against a rugged opponent, despite a very slow start. Team went hard tonight. They are starting to believe, reminds me of that Lawrence Fishburne quote from the Matrix.

Zion is an imposing player but man he either has the absolute worst defensive instincts or he is is super lazy or a combination of both because my he was clueless and useless on the defensive end, like a statue.

Okeke and Admiral got 5 minutes of garbage time, but not Jett? Wasnt he recalled to the team?

edit, just checked and he is back with oceola, playing right now. 27pts so far, but then Mclung has 40 already...

He was sent back to Osceola. He only was called up for the game Isaac missed.

Just weird that NOP just waived the white flag with still around 5nins to go and only a 19pt lead.

In the NBA a 10pt lead could be gone in 2 mina

Harris plays solid defense, which is why he's valuable.

What a great victory after such a poor start - Suggs kept us in it - what a special, gutsy player he is turning out to be!

Paolo has a true shooting percentage of 59.4 in his last 20 games in his career.
Paolo has a true shooting percentage of 60.9 in his last 10 games in his career.

Real progress is being made.

In his last 20 games, he's only getting to the FT line 6.1 times per game opposed to 7 FT attempts per game for the season.

Shooting 74.2% from the FT line in his last 20 which is encouraging.
