Kon has been more than solid defensively. Him and Miller just having one of those games offensively

Sums up ball, hot shooting gets us back in it, then poor pass for turnover and weak stupid foul as the icing on the cake.

Couldn’t imagine having Dort and Caruso on the same team. Must be nice.

Only thing I’m worried about with Miller is his wrist. He has plenty of game

Kalk isn’t starting. He needs the weight room as much or more than anyone on the roster
