Might have gotten a tooth knocked out but I missed the injury if they announced

First off, I'm extremely pleased that Brown is getting minutes for most of the roster. It will pay huge dividends for us now, in the playoffs and in future seasons.

That said, the impression I had was this welcome distribution of minutes has simultaneously disrupted some of our core unit's continuity and they may be adjusting to the heavier substitution patterns.

Overall, I feel we were somewhat disjointed and lacking cohesion, though we overcame that with our now regular key stops late and scoring heroics from Cap and Deuce.

We have so much talent to integrate now. I can only imagine how good we'll be once that integration process of a deeper bench matures.

I had a slightly different take but maybe they both not too far off.

This was a game where the Knick's coaching staff could get away with playing the young guys more and seeing what they got cause Pelicans not that good. But then Bey got hot and refs lets them all play by Australian rugby rules or something.

Doubt they free wheel as much against the Spurs but who knows

Bucks need to offer more than that to have a shot at getting Diawara

That makes sense too

NO has some talent on their roster. Not sure they will remain as bad the rest of the season, but they are still a team we should beat.

Plus, any team that let's Jordan Poole take their last shot deserves to lose

Jordan Poole was hot the second half, after Saddiq Bey cooled off.

It is not well known because it broke off the original stone tablet, but there is an 11th Commandment that states:

"Thou Shalt Not Allow Jordan Poole to Take Your Last Shot"

Yes. I rewatched a few games only looking at Yabu's minutes. Everything he does is wrong, especially on defense. Other players have to cover his mistakes which cascades into easy buckets. On offense it's almost as bad. I don't know why a guy with a badonkadonk like that isn't leading the league in screen assists. You can't even really put him in the corner because his slow ass will allow a fast break on the other end.

K Love on the other hand, wow. His IQ is off the charts and I have a feeling his outlet passes to Mikal could be magic. Hopefully Utah wins a couple more games and Danny Ainge panic trades him to ensure they keep their pick.
