Wooooooow, this officiating crew is a Who's Who of all-time cheaters. Oh boy...

Immediately noticed that. He's borderline unplayable right now for Ty Lue.

Zu needs 20 shots a game. Powell shouldn’t play another minute this series and I called it before game 1. His role needs to be cut way back

**** Norm Powell. He’s a playoff ghost. 0-5. Play more Batum and DJ.

Similar strengths and weaknesses. Zubac is the better post up player, has better touch and has eclipsed Poeltl as a rim protector. Put Poeltl in a big role on a good team, and you'll find he's up to the task.

Zubac can also make free throws, while Jacob is yeesh.

If you're norman Powell you simply cannot have that happen.

Tough start for him.

Powell can heat up quick. He is in a slump for sure but has proven all season what he can do.
