Curious what some TJ + Hali minutes would look like
Wonder if having TJ in there would free Hali up more to be a scorer

Because their other centers are an undersized Isaiah Jackson (coming off an achilles) and journeymen Thomas Bryant and Tony Bradley. Clearly, their weakest position on the roster.

No way TJ's sister is his full sister. Either half sister or adopted, they look unrelated.

But for research purposes I'd need to see more pictures of her to be certain.

It's the finals and he's the MVP. Two days between games. He can rest when it's over.

Mathurin gets bumped out of bounds on the drive right in front of the ref. No call.
