Well that was a refreshing win over a good team. Q looking more and more like solid rotation material. Braden Smith continuing to surprise. Jarace.....has his moments.

I agree on Q and am happy to see his aggressive play. I love how he goes up for contested 2 hand dunks making sure he puts it in the basket on some of his fast breaks. Once TJ is back I can envision Q as TJ’s shooting guard replacing Shep. I also like his defense, hustle, and his DOG ability.

I’m pleasantly surprised by Braden Smith. He’s going down the rocky slope of learning to defend, hustle, initiate offense, and find offensive opportunities. It really looks like TJ has been mentoring him on his fade away jumpers etc.

Walker was pretty quiet tonight though 3 quarters I saw he had 5 minutes and no points. Then Rick put him in to start the 4th and I think he never came out. Ended up with only 2 points but 8 rebounds which was huge because the Grizzlies were scrappy and fighting for rebounds and 50-50 balls. I went from being a bit upset that Jarace hadn’t shown up to saying good work my man.

Even though big Zu didn’t have the game we’d liked to see, I don’t think we would have won tonight without him. It gave Huff a better breather having Zu and Nance there tonight. Also Obi and Aaron being back added the steady veteran presence to help Drew and Pascal that had been missing.

Good gritty hard fought win that works fine for a team getting off the injury wagon. Wasn’t pretty and flawless wasn’t expected. Hopefully we see the players build back their health to make these games easier nightly to compete at the highest standards they hold of themselves.

Next up Nuggets in Mexico Saturday 5:00 PM on NBATV.

Jenny Boucek is our shooting coach and she's a very good one.

No, but I didn't want TJ to get all the credit.

Pacers played good enough to win at Dallas tonight. Unfortunately the coaches couldn’t devise ways to take advantage of Zubac’s clear advantage over the Mavs bigs. Mavericks just had a bit more momentum and kept the Pacers from stealing the victory in the closing minutes.

If Tyrese was playing we would have easily won this game. I can’t wait until he gets back to make the team as close to whole as it has been this season. TJ still isn’t right yet with 3 assists and 4 turnovers but he’s working through it in his very limited minutes.

Good to at least beat a team you're supposed to beat. Washington may even be a little better than their record indicates.
