His best half by far.

While I am super annoyed with the refs... I hope our players stay focused on things they can control. It's the NBA. Sometimes it be like that. Overcome.

Thompson's ceiling still so high he's usually only a slight positive impact player overall since he brings so little on halfcourt offense but man if he can just get even a midrange jumper and spot up on some corner threes at a reasonable percentage he is instantly our 2nd best player.

Next year hoping he can get FTs up to 70+% and shoot 33+% on corner threes and that is a big step in the right direction.

Your friendly reminder that Detroit vs everyone includes the refs.

Ausar played well, but my man, he needs to work on his free throws. Basketball 101.

I love Ausar and his impact on winning...but I think he's more likely to top out as a high-end role player. I actually have more confidence in Holland developing offensively and becoming a consistent 2-way All-Star caliber wing.

Ausar is getting the game ball if we win

Josh Hart thinks he’s Draymond. He’s not even close and haven’t won anything in the league.

Brunson looking like Julian Newman out there

Ausar is playing great. (minus the free throws)

They might hack Ausar eventually

If Cade even has a below avg game we're up 15. So frustrating to watch in the biggest game of the season

We take Ausar out and become weak. They instantly went on a run.
