Diallo either makes a sportscenter top ten play or throws it over the basket. This kid is going to be a star. And by star I mean he’s shown potential as a rookie so I’m going to overreact to everything he does.

Ferguson had a really nice dunk last game where he attacked the basket. This sounds dumb but despite both being two athletic, young, raw guards theyre nothing alike.

Grant is a sneaky good double-pump, change of direction dunker. Don't know if that explains what I'm wanting to convey, but all of his flaws aside, he's finishes plays with a dunk more often than I think I realize at a time where I think his shot is going to get blocked or he's going to have to force a toughly contested awkward layup.

George has had some really nice passes. When George doesn’t try to play like he’s the best player on the floor, he’s the best player on the floor.

I know I'm picking nits, but I wish we could've kept it at 20+ at the half instead of letting them cut it to 16...
Sixteen points seems and is doable in the second half. We let an even worse team last game turn a 24 point halftime lead into a 7 point lead at one point in the second half on Monday night.

Ferguson’s shot is jacked. He needs to change his shooting motion because he’s trending in the level or Roberson with that nasty thing.

If PG13 can be almost as effective on offense as he's tonight, we would reach another level (obviously it's easier against a bad defense but he's able to be better than what he showed in the beginning of the regular season)

George has been great. I’m. more impressed/surprised with Adams.

Just watching the box score for this one but Adams looks to have been too. He keeps improving.

Ferguson had that stretch of 2-3 games where he was on fire from three. That was 4-5 games ago. I don't know if he's made a three pointer since that 2-3 game stretch.

At some point you need to watch this tesm. They are significantly more fun than years team. Melo is gone. Don’t let him hurt you anymore.

I have a few times but was busy today, hoping the Suns game. The Melo factor was a drag

He’s improved in a lot of areas. It just seems than shooting is the one thing he’s really bad at. He should be able to improve his shooting but it’s really disappointing considering that was supposed to be one of his primary skills. Nerlens Noel and Alex Abrines have also both disappeared.

Nerlens plays like a guy who doesn’t like basketball

Love the way we are coming together. OKC may have ninety nine problems but Melo is certainly not one of them anymore.

I love his confidence and energy. It's our rookie I'm most excited about since...Steven Adams (I wasn't on the Cam Payne bandwagon)
