I don’t know why Mosley benches Franz first out of him and Paolo, because Paolo is always gassed in these final minutes before he gets subbed out. Franz has heaps better cardio.

We are extremely lucky to be close. They are outworking our entire team.

You can't touch Trae, playing against him is miserable.

Missed 6 free throws and turned the ball over 8 times in the first quarter and they’re only down by 1.

Not super concerned.

We’re not playing all that well, obviously, but these refs can go s*ck it

It's going to be rough, his game so far isn't suited for a higher pace at the moment. He's going to have to adjust better at read and reacts. I'm not worried yet, but if it continues...
