Is this his career high? He looks great out there, apart from a couple of wild passes.


It is his career high.

Nice gesture starting Bats.....I guess? Interesting it comes at the price of Bridges. Starting him in place of Rozier makes much more sense to me - for both fit and for rotations.

Tae showing again he seriously lacks a mid range game. Beats the defender off the 3pt line, drives to the FT line where he is wide open and rather than pulling up for the J tries to ball fake and ends up turning it over.

Can we sign that kid wearing #15 in black who was in the skills challenge during the time out? He’d start on the wing for us.......and be an upgrade.

SICK drop back bounce pass by Tae to Cody. Man that kid can pass the rock.

Its only early but 3J is doing a hell of a job defending the Greek.

Why is Cody looking like our #1 option on offence??

Is Bridges injured or in the doghouse? Bats, Monk and now Marv all in before him.
*Edit: There he is. Must be the doghouse...

Monk really can hang in the air on his drives.

Marv get set an awesome screen for Bridges at the elbow stopping the defender in his tracks but rather than exploding to the rim (like he should) down the clear path that Marv made for him, Bridges drove to the baseline, stopped at the mid range area, pulled up with no one around him and took an awkward jump shot. EXPLODE TO THE RIM IN A DIRECT LINE!!!

I really, really dislike Lopez. Dislike his game, dislike his facial expressions, dislike his head shaking. Just dislike him.

Monk continues to whip unexpected no look speedball passes at Biz. Does he really expect Biz to catch those??? I have more of a chance to catch them and I’m sitting at home.

I’d like to say Willy played for that foul and over exaggerated the contact, but in actuality I think Greek just pushed him aside like Willy was made of tissue paper.

Marv is so good. So smart. So solid. Great pass to Willy then after putting Greek on skates.

Jesus Terry.......

I really, really dislike Lopez. Dislike his game, dislike his facial expressions, dislike his head shaking. Just dislike him.

Jesus Terry 2.0.......

Typical Monk. Reads the pass well and picks it off but rather than looking up and seeing Tae up ahead and wide open on his left, he puts his head down and tries to go coast to coast then when he gets to the paint realizes defenders are everywhere so NOW he tries to pass it to Tae by attempting a no look over his shoulder whip pass that is equally as easily intercepted as was the pass he initially picked off himself. So dumb. JUST LOOK UP AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE HIGHLIGHT PLAY!!!

3J picking up his 4th foul 40 seconds into the 3rd qtr is not ideal.

Bats looks legit allergic to shooting the ball. He’s making Diaw look like a high volume shooter.

TAE TOOK AND HIT A MID RANGE J!!

Maybe that’s why Monk doesn’t pass ahead? What a terrible pass attempt to the streaking Tae. Why does Monk seem obsessed with passing the ball to team mates with as much heat on it as he possibly can? Napoleon Complex?

I really, really dislike Lopez. Dislike his game, dislike his facial expressions, dislike his head shaking. Just dislike him.

Rozier throwing an absolute grenade at Monk at the end of the 3rd after pounding the ball himself. Not nice.

Rozier - Monk - Bridges - 3J - Willy
That is NOT a good line up.
Scores even. We’ll see how this ends up.
Down by 2.
Down by 4.
Down by 5.
That is NOT a good line up.
Tae back in......

I really, really dislike Lopez. Dislike his game, dislike his facial expressions, dislike his head shaking. Just dislike him.
