Great stretch from Walter, Dick, Shead, Mogbo and KO. Almost won us that game.

We had 7 guys with 3 rebounds.

Olynyk had 9. Almost s triple double. Guess he is not cooked like some believe

shead might end up being alot better than everyone expected, his growth for a late 2nd rnd pick is pretty amazing, and his defense will only improve too.

Guess he was not fully recovered by the time he started playing this season

Rebound was the biggest problem all night. Anyway good loss. Darko put it all out there and if they won it was three rookie, Gradey and Scottie who would have made it happen so can’t complain.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

A tale of two point guards for us tonight. Brunson reminds me so much of Lowry at his peak.

I knew Shead was good but I didn't expect him to improve so quickly.

Scottie is the weak link of the squad at the late game is kind surprising

I dont think there is a market for IQ at his salary...but would get out of that if you can get something.

Once you trade Kelly, Bruce, it would be bad again. Still fun to see them having fun. Big ups to Orlando too

Kyle is way better in defence although he is much smaller but Brunson is way better in every facet. His drives, post game, etc

Our value bets (Shead, Mogbo, Ochai) are looking good. Imperative that we trade the vets and let these guys continue to develop.

pretty noticeable difference in the way he was moving earlier in the year. he's below average athletically already even when healthy but with a back issue he was borderline unplayable

By the way, this is the first time I felt compelled to make a post game thread, but it seemed like nobody was going to take the initiative. What's happened to this forum, this normally would have been up seconds after the game?

Nice, the 905 guys getting to do the post game media session.

Walter calling out the benefits of playing for the 905 helping him work on his game without any prompting.
