AB proving us wrong! Lol seriously huge win. Everything from everyone was needed tonight. Big win...


I liked that kid so much ever since I saw how close he was with his family at the draft and then when he was on the bench crying last year, i was in awe bc he really cares. Glad he's finally shinning, Jetts up next.

I still want an investigation of the refs on that 3rd quarter. That was 2002 Lakers/Kings BS.

Game changed in the 4th quarter when we took Gary off the floor. Not his fault but he had no business on Siakam. We started getting STOPS...defense was the key. Hopefully a lesson learned with a win. 3rd quarter was a disaster on offense...absolutely zero ball movement and a ton of bad shots. Probably a product of that first half Paolo had...but we have to be intentional opening that half with ball/player movement.

That being said it was a special game from Paolo. Such a great way to comeback and get the win. Anthony Black and Suggs with STRONG starts to the year as well.

I was so sad we didn't get to draft Cade Cunningham but jokes on me bc we ended up getting someone way better, love seeing his growth.

The fact this team is all a bunch of sick guys makes this even more impressive. Franz couldn’t even continue the game.

AB is doing all the right things and showing he belongs.

Seriously. Something was WAY off.

AB hitting those 2 clutch 3s and 2 clutch fts are so huge considering where he was as a shooter.

Not enough talk about Paolo being the next LeBron. He plays like him, acts like him, same style game. Obvious from pre draft too

Even with his poor FT shooting, Paolo raised his TS% back to a respectable 58.2% (was 70.1% tonight).

Paolo is now averaging 28.5ppg, 9.3rpg, 6.0apg, 0.8spg, 1.0bpg for the season.
