Bilal has more points than Poole at halftime, just like we all expected.

We are getting in '"time to go to the bench" territory with Poole. He's just lost out there. He looks like he's playing horse with himself out there. If you're serious about building culture, you eventually might have to make a statement with him.

On a positive note, Kuzma and Deni really look like they are really starting to develop a nice two-man game. You can see them calling out plays with each other. When executed correctly, it can be a really nice wrinkle to the offense given their size and skill sets.

Poole has some ok numbers at the half. If as if Poole and Jones decided to switch roles today. Poole has 4 assists so far. That said, I do wish he would stop the “looking at the crowd” thing when he scores.

Sorry call me a stans, but I love the player that Deni is.

Great behind-the-back pass.

Love our jerseys tonight.

Please, I can't watch Gallinari. He just stands around on defense.

Bench bailing out the starters out in this sequence.

Consor is a decent color guy. He keeps it interesting, gets the game. Doesn't kiss butts.

So… I’m starting to think that they need to design plays that free up Poole. Picks to knock off his defender, etc. He may become more effective knowing that it’s his shot to make.

Savvy game from Kispert tonight. He still makes too many defensive mistakes, but tonight he's making up for it with his 15 points on 5-6 (3-3 from three, 2-2 from line).

Yeah he's not good at improvising, so it can't hurt.

I really enjoy his call. Makes Chris Miller better too imo

Get Kuz and Deni back it, we are going to get too cute with the bench.

Like clockwork, CHA goes on a 7-0 run. WUJ is awful with rotations. Like, this win is okay to get. We will lose plenty.

*9-0 run after I posted that. WUJ is an assistant of free throw development, let's face it.

Wes is moronic, let’s not sugar coat it. Very mediocre.

Most of the bench has a better plus minus than the starters other than Deni.

Beautiful hustle sequence form 4 guys there.

Hayward has developed some craftiness with all the injuries.
