Horrible turnover. Can't be doing that crap fellas.

It's so dumb how teams get a different whistle if they're home or away

This is EXACTLY why TSJ needed to play. He applies so much pressure on the defense in transition and at the rim. You can’t keep guys like that on the bench.

It is a little painful watching Terrence Shannon Jr. play so well after begging for him to be put in during other games, but hopefully this empowers him to get a few minutes moving forward! Even if he has a bad few minute stint, it's worth risking just for the tempo he adds to the game.

Love Finch benching NAW for that dumb turnover.

Tsj is gonna be a good player. They gave him 2 pretty tough fouls but his energy has been great. Obviously the scoring too but love to see the energy always there. Hes so good in transition too.

Agreed. Hopefully this series is his coming out party as we come back to win it.

I think it's different playing him at home rather than away

It better not be one of those games where Shannon doesn’t play in the second half now. I want to see him out there with Ant as well

How can Finch keep him out of the rotation now?

Nothing like gaining a little confidence.
