That's another thing I have to eat, I said he'd never be a point guard for us, but he's been more of a point guard lately than most other bench point guards in the entire league! He's been excellent at setting the pace and setting up our guys! Been so much better than expected!

I like the way he probes and doesn't give up his dribble. He really has come a long way over the last couple of years, and particularly this year.

Haven't liked a few things this year, but, that's one development I've loved seeing, those early possession post up looks.

We're really lucky to have such a good Bench. Top 8 players are really good.

Tillman lowkey just as bad or worse than Kornet at guarding on the perimeter. At least these last few games.

No point in playing Tatum if he's not gonna bring any energy

They're experimenting on their zone defense as Scal pointed out. These last couple of games should be all about those things to get ready for the playoffs.

Joe experimenting with lineups and coverages has kept this game close. I get it, but you still have to win (for my sanity), my guy. Cs better lock in in the 2nd half.

He had some energy gambling on a steal in the backcourt after clanking a three. Leading to Murray corner three other end.
