8 points on 82% TS for Suggs. 4 assists and 3 boards. Great first half back.

Cant watch the game, but sounds like Suggs had one of his best halves of basketball so far, thats always great to hear coming off an injury, hopefully this is the start!

PrimeThyme wrote:The awesome news is it looks like Suggs is picking right back up where he left off before the injury. He's looking much more in control offensively, making better reads, and is harassing players on the other end. Extremely encouraging.

I’m very encouraged by his play on offense. The game is definitely slowing down for him. That handle is the only thing holding him back from flashing star potential.

I wish they would post up Suggs a few times each game. Jrue Holiday does the same thing.

It definitely needs to be explored depending on matchups.

Nice seeing all the injured players on the bench at an away game.

Also well done to Franz in the first half. +10, only has 1 miss and has 2 blocks. He hasn't looked as good as normal in some recent games but this first half was the Franz we know and love.

I’ll take a game like this over shooting 39% from the field any day.

I don't get too caught up in the whole star potential thing. To me, Jrue Holiday is a bonafide NBA star and one of my favorite players to watch in the NBA, but only has one All-star appearance to his name. Jrue Is actually one of my favorite comps for Suggs.

Suggs is on the right trajectory, the handle is functional enough. The game just needs to keep slowing down. The difference from the beginning of the season to now is already significant. We have to keep in mind that Suggs just didn't have the on-ball reps at the college level. He's getting them on the fly in the NBA, so there is going to be bumps.

In time

I mean hes not exactly known as a post player, cant just throw him in there and ask him to do that, he needs to get comfortable posting up. Learning to be a bully-ball type player doesnt come naturally to everyone, but i think in time he will be doing that

Jrue is a good comp and I wouldn’t be mad about Suggs having that type of career but I would prefer a bigger CP3 if possible 8-)

That’s going to take some work.

Tremendous patience by Franz there, eyes up, looking for the pass but takes the easy drive as it opens up

Ooooooo Cole is ending up on the wrong side of a highlight reel there

That was a horrible sequence by Cole. LaMelo has been getting the best of him tonight.

Cole doing some pretty bad things out there. He has too much ego we know he’s going to take it personal, meanwhile bridges gets in Franz face but his game doesn’t change…

Gonna be interesting to see how Cole responds. I'd love it if he just puts his head down and just hustles on defence against Ball. It would be amazing if he actually slowed him down.
