Carlisle not putting TJ back in the game basically cost them. Sometimes u gotta stick with the hot hand and TJ was running the offense well too.

Nembhard only has 3 turnovers but it feels like 5 or 6 b/c they’ve been immediately costly

At least people will realize how much better JDub is than Chet. Chet will likely never get as good as Jalen Williams is now.

Any normal team would have folded in the face of the barrage by TJ and Pascal

I know he's not healthy but Haliburton seems to be a bit scared out there.

Every team in the NBA should just foul every possession next season. If you foul sometimes, it'll be called; if you foul all the time, you'll get away with a lot.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

Nembhard is way out of his depth. He not only can't pass the ball, he thinks its easy.
