PG: Tank you

That was a good competitive game. It looks like Gradey is the new tank commando.

Play (somewhat) hard and still lose. that's a win/win in my books.

That was a good L. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Shead is a gamer. Really wish Scottie would get up more then 9 shots inside the arc, especially since every time he got to the basket it was an auto trip to the line or a bucket. He's gotta get more aggressive down there man. I don't really care about his shooting I think he's a poor shooter and that isn't going to change, but with his defence taking this step and his passing at the level that it is, if he gets beastly down low there's no reason he wouldn't be an all NBA level player.

Dick's the NEW tank commander? Dudes been THE tank commander all year considering the minutes he gets gifted.

There is no way he's earned playing time over Ochai. Team is going to want to win next year so if he doesn't improve A LOT in the offseason, he'll be a borderline rotational player.

also rough shooting game for IQ but he had 6 boards and 8 assists with only 2 turnovers. he should've easily had 10+ assists - so many open misses.

The stretch 5 advantage was really shown today. If we can remove the biggest interior defender on the other team from the paint it makes Barnes unstoppable. I hope we look into that going forward in the off-season.

Didn't get any chance to comment during the game but I gotta say, Scottie had some fire in him tonight. Great to see.
