I am probably in a small minority on this forum, but I prefer the radio feed from Grande and Max over the TV commentary with Gorman and either Tommy or Scal. It's not that I don't like Mike, Tommy, and Scal - I like all three of them - but Grande and Max make for one of the funniest and most thoughtful and best prepared commentary teams in the business.

If they outscore them by three in the second half they got this.

You’ve gotta shoot the ball with confidence.

I like the scal Gorman tandem. Gorman seems more youthful with him. Kinda like when u get a new puppy and it gets the old boy tail wagging again

He was questionable for tonight, so he could be still sore. They said it was his big toe, but I think it was his chest after the punches he took from Tatum and Larkin after he hit his game winner.

Monroe HAS to play more than 8 minutes in the 2nd half.

His man to man defense has been fantastic, his rotations have been decent, but his off ball assignments have been poor. He keeps losing his man on back cuts.

Scal is ok but he doesn't mesh well with Mike all the time. there is a bit too much of a gap in iq between them and it creates awkward moments but all in all they aren't a bad tandem

Agree. In Utah Stevens had Brown on Mitchell then moved him to Ingles and finally had to move him to Crowder. Need a better effort

And offense. Basically, he needs to join the game.

The Raps tend to be a pretty good team in the 4th quarter this year.

I was just saying the exact opposite. Plus Scal isn’t insightful at all. He hasn’t said a word about all the Raptors layups.
Hey Man, nice shot!

Silver lining. Van Vleet may be the guard that gets the crazy offersheet in FA which allows us to bring smart back on a reasonable deal.

His man to man defense has been decent, not great. And the last part was exactly our worst problem on defense in the first half. Obviously it's not all down to Jaylen, but we need him to be better
