Brown’s defense has been an absolute aphrodisiac

I’m going to control my expectations but that closing lineup was awesome. They had no answer for our star power.

Loved our attention to detail this half. Having Hayward back is huge for us, especially against their zone. He gets it in the middle and makes quick, correct decisions. Jaylen has been a monster. Tatum a pretty good half, too.

Pleasantly surprised by Haywards minutes. A nip rusty and slow but not bad

That was interesting going small, with Tatum as the Center.
It worked out. We ended the Qtr up 12.

OK, we've done the usual again. Now it's the time to do the unusual and not look like a YMCA team in the third.

Hayward just being on the floor with his smart spacing and defence is allowing so much more freedom for everyone else on the floor. Brown is especially cashing in.

We've been here before, another solid 24 minute effort and concentration please.

Gord is a multiplier. This is what he does. He's also doing a great job in our zone defense too.

Refs want a game 4 (edit - a sweep), Tyler Herro did his best Steph Curry impression, and we gave up a few more easy buckets to Bam. Feels good to have a 13 pt lead.

Game 2, we got the benefit of several whistles (and non-whistles) in the first half, and the refs reversed course a bit in the 2nd half. Hopefully they reverse course tonight.

Guessing Brad doesn’t trust him. We need another big that can defend and rebound and knows how to play the game.

I tend to think Rob will be a high energy guy that plays for half the league through out his career. He has a lot to learn.

So far so good.

Not relying on three-ball heroics and attacking the paint gives me hope for turning this series around

Would try Grant or Rob in the 2nd half. Theis had some cringe-y possessions.

Love JBs activity on both sides. Really hustling.

Love them all going right at Robinson too.
