Paul gets bigs on that so often, that it makes you uncomfortable as a big man to hold the ball after a hand-off or fake hand-off with Paul's man

ball is a great playmaker.
The last possession was great. Recovered for that awful 3 earlier.
When he runs the floor, he's fun to watch. And i think he's one of the best defensive guards already.
He'll be fine as long as his father shuts up.
All these boos tonight...the incident with murray the other day. First time i see a rookie get so much hatred.
Lavar must shut up. He's not helping him.

Ball: 10, 8, 8, 3stls, 4blks. Not bad for an absolute bust

I don't even think that, it just took us too long to figure out Holmes could fill in for him. He played mostly in the fourth.

Dont get the hate on Ball for that last play. He did exactly what he was supposed to do, got the #1 option a wide open look for the win. I cant ever fault a PG for getting his team a wide open shot, thats kind of the whole point of a pass first PG, which Ball is.

Yeah, there wasn’t anything wrong with what Ball did imo.

Willing to look stupid down the road for this take, but I think there's a real chance when it's all said and done Ingram could end up the best player in the '16 draft. I'd still put my money on Simmons, he's incredible, but I think ceiling wise it might be a lot closer than people think.

Only Zo can get hate for making a game-winning pass to an open teammate in the clutch on realgm lol...well LeBron too.

Disgusting defense from Harden.
Swinging for the fences.

It’s pretty sad though how scared Lonzo is in clutch time.

I ain't gonna lie, I indulged myself in Lonzo Ball Lowlights on YouTube yesterday, and maaaaaaaaaan he looks like a scrub (well duh they're lowlights haha) but he played very well this game. Baby steps...

I won't argue it because he made the game-winner, but sus bro.

Randle needs some love too. He was not afraid of Embiid at all
