JI turning the corner? He had a great game a few weeks ago but he looked different tonight. He was hunting for blocks and was able to get there. So happy about that.

Just got in from an MMA event...what a pleasant surprise...Suggs too! Let's go.

*still should add a scoring guard

In all seriousness, despite too much movement from a technical standpoint before the release, the actual release on those Franz shots in the 4th were clean. When they left his hands they looked good.

Replay of Suggs looks like a hyper extension of the knee, no contact with the opposing player.

Coach starting off with praise for WCJ. We didn’t give him credit tonight because the 1st quarter was rough for him but he did have a solid game tonight.

Yeah, I’m thinking that’s worse. Who knows with Suggs though. Dude is like Gumby.

I thought its when Suggs slipped and fell down

Like Paolo said this was a must win game. Needed something to prove were better then this loosing streak. Finally getting our guys back and possibly Goga on Monday. Great momentum win going into the road trip.

Franz has def leveled up. Last season he doesn’t go 9/10 after being 1/12.

Paolo said that the players were challenged to be better after their 5 game blowout losses, that might have been the reason.

All I could think about was Mo is slick, praise WCJ and make him feel good the night before he gets benched for Goga coming back
