I don't totally get why we pulled the starters. If you were going to go for the point-differential, go for it.

Say what you want about Joe. He DGAF.

PP's pure PG skills have gotten so much better.

I do wonder if the experience of playing for point differential will be beneficial mentality-wise. It's not like we don't have a history of letting up with big leads. Maybe having something tangible to shoot for will help instill that mindset.

I don't understand why we need the Nets to win. How does that help us over Orlando?

He was solid last year, too. I've said before, he's exactly what you want from a third-string center.

I kinda want to become a Banton Truther.

No offense to my northern neighbors, but I'm very glad the reign of Canada is over!

Good closeout to the half. I feel like it usually goes the opposite way for us.

Usually when Tatum is having an off night, he's doing it to himself. The Magic are low-key locking him up a bit. Their length is bothering us.

I get that I'm frontrunning a little, but I never got why some people were down on Kornet. He's a pretty perfect third center. He makes the easy plays, doesn't try to make plays outside of his game, takes advantage of his length. Obviously, you don't want to rely on him for serious minutes or crunch time, but for his role you're not gonna do much better.

Luke Kornet, or peak Hakeem? I can't tell the difference.
