All the missed free throws from earlier tonight have me a bit nervous.

You mean you don’t wish you had kept your pick and drafted Pokusevski?! :lol:

Horrible miss by Layman there, very unfortunate.

That was the right play, Naz had the mismatch vs SGA. Just missed the layup

I thought the McDaniels breather was so he could be in late game to help cover SGA, seemed like Jake ran out of steam a bit there.

At least it wasnt a blowout. Theres a positive trend in this team, at least on offense.

Not a bad game...good games from all our rookies and 2nd year players. Ant looked decent as ball handler during crunch time...unlike DLo, Ant does have the ability to go past the man on drives and kick it out to open man.

On another note, Ant doesn't mind finishing through contact near the rim (which is good) but I wish he can cut those attempts down and instead kick it out to open man on perimeter incase if it's too crowded near the rim.

Get me a rim-protecting big and we win 4 more games this season and are flirting with .500 even without KAT.

it's crazy though how this team easily could have been closer to 0.500 even with KAT missing almost entire season so far...just Ryan having better team selection choices could have helped it..not playing Okogie in the last few games alone would have helped in getting 2 more wins.

Naz is an offensive center

Gorgui was a defensive center

Who would you rather have if even cost?

On the final T.O. I was hoping Ryan would call an inside play to Reed for a 2 to tie. Amazing that it's just what they did and he missed.
No complaints.

I liked to looks of Muscala as a guy I'd go after this off season as a free agent. He can swing PF/C. Just what we need.

I love our young guys. The second half was a wonderful preview of what we can be. It looked to me they ran all set plays in the second half with no read/react chit. Did you see it that way?
