Twin #2 dominated the Bucks tonight. They both greatly improved their shooting in one offseason it seems. Maybe they decided to have some fun and switched teams tonight, and that was really Cody that played for the Heat. I mean how would we know.

It's looking like we should've kept them both. I'd rather have #2 than Scottie Lewis or Arnold. Although finding PT for them both would've been difficult, but the extra depth would've been good to have in times like this.

Really proud of the team for these pastv3 games. I think this will knly help us down the road.

Oubre has been fantastic in an increased role.
Thor looks like he could be an actual role player sooner than later. Perhaps mcd insurance if we can't afford to keep him.

Price of retaining Cody keeps climbing.

Feels like our team defense, minus containing embiid has looked much better without lamelo and Terry. Am I imagining that?

I'd say that was true for the Philly games, but I didn't see it during the Atlanta game. We were still hemorrhaging points in that one, we surrendered 30+ points every quarter but kept up because our guys kept hitting their threes. We'll see in the next couple games if our defense is legitimately improving with the new emergency lineups or if this was just a Doc Rivers team being sloppy and playing down to their opponent as usual.

I am with you on Thor for sure, I am officially on his bandwagon. His perimeter defense looks so smooth and his length is insane. If he can gain the strength to credibly defend bigs (at least the one that aren't massive like Embiid) while keeping that mobility he will be a terror.

If anything I feel comfortable about McD sliding into PJ role and Thor taking McD's minutes if we have the opportunity to make a PJ trade... Thor is 19 and still has a lot of learning to do but I too am impressed with his twitchiness...combined with that length and wingspan oooh boy
