He's just so night and day when he ditches the boring floor general vibe and starts trying to make something happen. I also think inserting Newton in place of Bailey in the 2nd half really helped liven things up too. I want to like Bailey, but he looks surprisingly mediocre with the ball in his hands considering thats supposed to be his strength. Clark with 5 steals and 3 threes - that'll work. And Miller is kinda nice when somebody else is driving things and he can hang out in open spots on the floor. When he doesn't have to be the main guy on offense, he always seems to find a way to put up numbers.

They won’t it’s the same people that gave Ant and Jaden **** their first few seasons and are totally over-critical of them still to this day.. They have now picked Rob as a target as well.

Dilly steals the 4th qtr to bring us home with the win. Pretty impressive. Miller did some good things too.

On a down note, we might not make the final 4 teams to play for the championship due to our smaller point differential. Even though we're 4-0. Something to watch for.

Still only 21, and I think his knack for scoring is what the team looks for at that position. Needs to curtail his tunnel vision, but I still think there's a chance. Also, still two years on his rookie deal to figure it out.

I think he's a good long-term project if they can manage to keep him around. There's really nothing that he's terrible at, he just needs to tighten things up across the board.

Root for Charlotte to beat San Antonio by less than 12 points.

We need help and most likely won't get it. A close Hornets win over the Spurs would be perfect.

4th Quarter it's like Dilly just said screw being cautious and under control. I'm going to take over.

He could be one of those players Connelly was referncing when he said 20 guys already had deals done at the start of the 2nd round. Especially since he got a 4 year contract and we were looking strictly for 2-ways.

That's where I call collusion, shenanigans ....... To me Proctor was clearly the best talent left on the board and he was available when we picked. I suppose we draft him agents and players won't like us anymore.

His agent is stupid then hello Conley is 109 years old, is he more aftaid to compete for playing time with Rob than Garland?

His "stupid" agent got him a four-year, $8.69 million contract instead of a 2-way...

- a Rob-Joan alleyoop

- a block and three from Rocco in the same game
- a poster dunk from TJ and two 20+ games
- a 20pt game 50/40/90 game from Rob

Clark 5 steals checked. Crocco couldn't get his but Dilly wasn't that far off. All in all, not bad

I do think there is big disconnect between fans who enjoy x's and O's, clean execution, good defense and fundamentally sound basketball and those that want fast paced, reckless, entertainment. Rob had a fun second half, it was good to see him cut loose a little, but I still didn't see anything that said I want him to run and facilitate our offense. In fact, he looked better when he could play more as a 2 guard then a point. Those of you who are critical of guys like Poole, Simons, Sexton, etc...any concern that may best suite Dilly too? If we win, I don't care how he plays, but I want a ring and that typically takes defense and execution on some level.

Just watch the resume , great win. Rob was clutch and keep improving as i predict. Clark finally show he is a NBA Player. For Miller, I'm in-between.
La Barricade got some work to do but his energy is great.

Hope Finch really goes for a 10-11 players rotation when season start. TSJ, Clark, Rob + Barricade need to play significant minutes to keep improving and to make sure, our 30++ players stay in good conditions all season long. Season look really bright for me. We have a deep bench despite losing NAW and this is a huge force.

As long as other teams don't jump us in point differential, that would be one way to get in

Thunder get one of the four top spots. We know the Kings have another. Our odds of a top 4 are very low.

We had early second round picks the last couple years, and we kind of squandered them. Last year we could have had Cam Christie, Jaylen Wells, or Bobi Klintman and this year Proctor, Penda, etc. None could turn out but the more young players we have, the better chance one of them turn out. Even if they take a roster spot.
