I know he hasn't officially grown but Ausar looks bigger than his official measurements to me, like hes filled out as the season has gone on. Hes kept his speed too which is amazing.

There might be some more action this game, very aggressive play on both sides is gonna get some players in the feelings eventually.

I don't get the impression that Cade's injury is very serious.

No, He’s been out there with the team ever since going out on injury

I'm watching the Raptors telecast, and it's funny that they showed a sleeping (adult) fan for a good while.

Honestly, I'm starting to think re-signing Schroder should be one of the team's priorities.
It's like having a football QB call up offensive plays and always make the best possible decisions. Except for those long 2s.

I've said it before, but still feel re-signing Beasley/Schroder is a must. You can just see how they help us.

I would have said that before the 3rd quarter. He's been getting sloppy with the basketball.

THJ made that 3 because it was justice. I could never stand it when guys (Tay did it all the time) wait til the horn before shooting, or not shooting at all. Only wish one of Ausar's last second half-court shots would go in.

If you make him play 40 minutes, he'll end up suffocating. The problem is that there are no other point guards after him. Sasser is a candidate to leave the team along with Tek.

It wasn't always pretty, but they did what they needed to do. Duren had a great game. He's come so far this year.
Want to give Jamal Shead some acknowledgment. He's a dawg.

Yeah, I keep hoping for Tek's shot to turn around (he's one of our guys right now, I'm rooting for him, and if he comes on it's big for our playoff chances!) but it just has not happened yet.

Would love to keep as many as possible of the Cade, Ausar, Duren, Beefstew, Tobias, Beasley, Shroeder, Holland, THJ, Ivey core together. I agree that Tek, Sasser (and I'd throw in Bball Paul) are not essential (Having a third string center as good as Paul is a nice luxury, though).
