Adams played great defense tonight. Embiid just hit some amazingly difficult shots.

Paul George had an AMAZING game.

He hustles and isn’t always looking for his own shot. He’s not a bust but he won’t be a big contributor this year.

Terrance Ferguson is the 4th youngest player in the NBA. Only Fultz, Ntikilina, and Anigbogu are younger. He's got time. He shows great energy and is always giving excellent effort. That combined with putting on some muscle in the offseason will do wonders for him in the league. Always spots for an energy guy. I think he will get a stronger core and be able to consistently hit threes as he already has great form, just doesn't have an NBA body yet.

I think his shot is a little strange, but otherwise agree with this assessment

3 minutes. 2 Fouls.

Abrines and 2 seconds for either Simmons or Holiday

At this point you have to sell a GM a bill of goods about his shooting because there is nothing else to sell them on.

They honestly shouldn't play him at all if they can help it heading into the deadline. It will only hurt his value.

I agree. Shooting is something that guys can improve over time so I’m hopeful for him long term. As of right now he shoots a lot of ugly bricks.

Joel Embiid posts his own dunk on instagram trolling russ. It was a monster dunk but he looks like an idiot doing this after a loss.

And again when spark plug Justin Anderson finished a tip dunk off a missed free throw over Westbrook's back. Anderson flexed and posed under the basket, but seconds later, Westbrook was in the process of going coast-to-coast for his own monster slam, preening, posing and yelling "I'm coming m-----f-----" as he stomped his way back up the court.
