What did he say?
When asked about Tacko Fall's step back and his dunk Jaylen said
Put some BLEEP respect on that man
He's been working with me in the gym.
Then he said No Seriously though coach Jay Larrenga has been working hard with Tacko every day.
It's good to see his progress

This game was a blast, and after tonight’s special edition of Tacko Time, I’m pretty sure the entire bench needs to be hospitalized for either exhaustion (due to extreme celebration) or mania. Or both.

Semi actually being a positive on the offensive end is a significant development.

Watching Aaron Gordon tonight, I just don’t think he fits in well with our style of play. Seems a bit mechanical, stiff. Maybe an off night.

I think he's overtaxed being a focal point in their offense, but the bigger problem is that I don't see a lot of willingness in him to do anything else.  He's not the difference-making defender that a guy with his physical tools should be.  He's just an average rebounder.  He seems content to not matter.

Not a guy I'd give up real assets for in a trade.  There's a chance that getting on a new team with a new role would unlock him... but I'm not keen on taking the chance that he turns into something he's never been.

Yeah. Tonight was a lot of cold water spilled on all the talk I’ve heard about Terence Ross or Aaron Gordon being the perfect guy for our TPE. Especially Gordon. I agree there weren’t a lot of creators on the floor with him tonight and that might have pushed him to try doing things that aren’t in his skill set — but everything I’ve read and what I recall from past games against the Cs he’s always like this. Also seemed a little disinterested; kind of like he was going through the motions. Maybe there’s a better player in him to unlock but tonight  was not enticing.

He was those things in college - difference making defender, rebounder and added value through passing.

It was there once - in his game.

However, that was a long time ago. I worry about how stuck those bad habits are that he has developed in Orlando.

All those that said Semi had to go because he was so bad, well, maybe he ain't so bad after all.

Semi has surprised me a lot. He looks to be that dependable 3-and-D wing now.
Might be better than PJ Tucker  ;D

I think Wednesday is a good day for Kemba to debut. We have two days off after today, so let him heal up a bit more and get him back Wednesday.
