Young athletic high energy squad. Bringing Ish back was the right move. Playing Oak in spot minutes instead of over relying on dumping the ball into him. Solid coaching bringing them along right. They're just a few solid vets from being playoff bound in the East.

Just rematched the final 7 minutes of the 76ers game. Amazing 15-2 run. No way they could do that with Oak. The footspeed, defense and vertical threat (alley oops) was simply amazing for Noel. I think oak went something like 6-7 and 13 points in 20 minutes but didn't play much of the 4th when they went on the run. Interesting decisions to make.


And one big rebound, making Brook Lopez proud.

I don't think they will change their team philosophy for him. It will have to be the other way around.

Career high in pts to date.

22pts 9rebs 5ast 2stls 1blk on 7/12 shooting 1/2 3's and 7/8 from the line in 44 mins.

The 3pt shootout might be the best show all weekend with those three, Lowry, Middleton, and Redick. The dunk contest should be fun after Barton and Drummond are eliminated.

Lowry would win if he was assisted by DRoz. When DRoz hits Lowry for open 3s, he seems to never miss.

I'm still on my Turner phase y'all. I think he has the same ceiling as KAT. There's potential for his motor to be higher, which is very surprising to me

I'm high on Myles but I don't think he has KAT's ceiling. KAT has literally no holes in his game this very minute and he's 20...

He blocked LeBron 2x against the Cavs. Consider him now untradeable.

@adam_mares: Mudiay is shooting 44% at the rim, gets his shot blocked a ton, yet he still attacks the basket without fear. I really respect that.

hashtag they said Westbrook athleticism before the draft

It's still there half the time.. Mostly when he tries to move quick off-ball in the halfcourt. It's still a conscious thing for him to pick his feet up, still natural to lazily kind of just woddle. But does it really matter? Not sure he's faster without the woddle

I gotta watch more of KAT. Admittedly I haven't watched him much.

Mudiay's jumper is still hopelessly broken, but his floor game has improved quite a bit as the year has gone on. You can see that the experience of letting him play through his mistakes has helped him quite a bit.
