Pritchard is controlling this game.

EDIT:  And right after I said that, he ran Charlotte's offensive set better than Charlotte did, lol.

The style of play from the bench guys is so different from the Jays style.  How about PP....

So glad we gave Pritchard the long term contract and kept him on the team!

How are the C’s up 21 with no starters!  :o

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

PP's contract is a steal.

Yeah, 4 years $30M for this cat is an absolute heist.  He has visibly built confidence as this year has gone on and he's a weapon for us.

Definitely.  I didn't agree with how much Joe cut his playing time last year, even though we had too many guards in front of him.  Very glad that Stevens didn't trade him even though PP wanted out. 

Rookie PP could ball.  Good to see him playing the best ball of his career now.

Seeing the drive and hustle is a lot of fun.  Maybe we should start the bench guys in the playoffs and bring the starters off the bench, ha ha.

We have some bench guys that can really play. I hope Joe uses these guys early in the playoffs for energy.

In fairness to Mazzulla, it's tough to break into a guard rotation of Smart/White/Brogdon.  And Pritchard last season was not as good as Pritchard is now.  In particular his ability to get to spots on the court is night-and-day different.  He looks like a real point guard now rather than a 6'1" catch-and-shoot guy. 

Credit to him for improving and seizing the opportunity though.  He's a very good player now.
