Now we're making the extra pass and we're back in it!

Luka Garza is the man baby. :) The guy has been good.

Guys what happened to Gobert and is Naz lookig good (his stats are always good)?

Just picked Naz up in Fantasy. Was a holder before his latest injury but have been monitoring his minutes.

Will he get back to the 24-28min range?

Many thanks.

wow..just tuning in and checking box scores and I am legit shocked that we are winning by double digits on a B2B vs a full strength Cavs team. Also Gobert only played 13 mins ? Is he injured or something ?

Great win. Really happy to see Jaylen Nowell play well, his defense was very solid tonight.

I was just thinking the same thing. We played great defense and shared the ball. Amazing.

This. I loved the look on DLOs face with about 5min left and ready to be subbed in, but Finch decides Nowell is cooking and sends him back and the rest is history... Memphis series all over again, dead man walking Imo. benched in the Memphis series, benched again tonight.

Nowell was even grabbing rebounds!

In my opinion, I know Nowell is trying to get his shot back, but since that’s all he provides, Finch has to give him a quick hook when his shot isn’t falling. If he worked on the rest of his game - defense, rebounding, etc - I think he’d get more court time, and he’d help the team a lot more.

Gobert strained groin. Out precautionary.

Tonight he actually looked good on defense when I was watching. Go figure.

Only one of our starters out scores Luka (Ant). However, Luka got his in 10 minutes!
