Yes.


So it’s noT important to have a 2nd pg off the bench since we got KD? I thought not having a good point guard with Paul showing his decline was a huge concern on our board.

Jack Landlord did that DA move where he would spin into the help defense and almost turned it over

What? Damion Came is playing well enough. 4/10 but 7 assists is solid.

Felt like it's been forever since we blew out a team by this much to clear the bench half way into the 4th

So, I guess they did come out more attractive in the second half, Dan Meyers Drysdale. Good call.

Book seems pretty happy. Hoping that wouldn't be the case if the KD outlook was poor.

Though honestly none of them probably know much yet.

I’d hate to nitpick but 0-5 from threes. Yes, 7 assists is excellent from Payne, but his shooting % is heavilY down from two years ago. Went from 48% fg to just 41% and 44% 3’s to 37% those are significant decline in just a few years. Are his recent injuries a sign of his poor play, or is there another reason he’s struggling not only this season but last too. ( last season contract year, but how about this?)
