nice job closing out on that 3 by Rob.

You just knew as Anthony was shooting that, there was no way in hell it was going in

[BostonCouchGM]

Rob is so much better than Mo Bamba.

he's really not. Bamba averaging 13-10 shooting 40% from three since the Vucevic trade opened up playing time. Poor kid got drafted by one of the worst run franchises in sports and has dealt with injuries almost the whole time. I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

Go home Grant

Semi too

Maybe give parker a shot in the 2nd half instead of them?

I'm wonder where Parker is?
Sit Grant Williams and Ojeleye down.

No way is Mo Bamba better than Rob Williams.
Williams does a lot in the game. Way more than Bamba.

Fournier is good man. He’s a really solid all around player. I didn’t know he was such a good playmaker and defender.

[Hal14]

Nice move Fournier. He's got that move down, drive into the lane, feels the defender and whichever side the defender is playing him on, spins back the other way and usually has an open shot in the lane.

Tatum feeling it. It's too bad it's halftime - when you have a guy who's hot like that, you want to leave them out there and keep feeding them the ball. Kemba and Fournier were also hitting shots, Rob playing good D. It was a solid stretch there to close out the half, up 18 after we were only up 7 earlier in the 2nd quarter

Let's push it up past 20 in the 2nd half and rest the starters..

I really fell bad for Parker. Parker starting showing some nice offensive moments, and then gets benched forever. Basically Stevens "Nesmithed" Parker

Yeah. he's definitely a scorer who looks to score but can also create offense for teammates too - that was a really nice drive and kickout to Kemba for the 3

[Bill Lumbergh]

Same. He's got a good all around game. Maybe saying he's the lite version of Hayward does him a disservice.

Time Lord is top 10 in the entire NBA in TS%,. FG%, offensive rating, defensive rating, BPM, rebounding %, blocks %, PER and Win Shares per 48 mins and is only 23 years old. Time Lord has a 7'6" wingspan, 40 inch vertical and plays with a ton of energy on both ends of the floor. Saying that someone is not as good as Time Lord is definitely not giving up on them.

[JediMasterRevan]

Kemba must be auditioning for the magic.

Step on the gas.
Win this by 40, or more.

[Fencer reregistered]

I missed most of Q2. Have there been any Orlando has Bacon jokes yet?

[Bill Lumbergh]

Seems like Nesmith has come back to earth a bit. Hope he gets untracked in the second half.
