Kanter played really well. Stay tuned, they're getting better and better offensively as he gets more comfortable playing with his teammates. Love having a good rebounder on the floor.

Kanter and Theis may be playing Robert Williams straight out of the rotation

Which is a good thing, Robert Williams being anywhere near a team's big man rotation aside for garbage time does not bode well for a team with championship aspirations.

at his current level of play, Timelord could provide spot minutes here and there but he really needs to develop his team D.  that's what's really holding up his development into a solid rotation player.

Yes and that's garbage time. He has a lot to improve before he sniffs viable rotation player level.

Thoughts after watching the game:

- Can someone check what did Brad have for lunch? Brown was really involved in the offence tonight, he was handling the ball in PnRs and given a lot of looks to create by himself. It lead to some mixed results early on (he had a few nice passes including a bounce pass to an open Theis in the PnR, but also turned it over a few times due to his lack of experience in handling the ball as a primary creator) but it resulted in a huge night for the lad, what a night for him!

- Hayward can give us that extra weapon on offence to push us to the next level, he's very savvy with the ball and is such a reliable creator even when defences tighten up.

- Kanter was immense for us, his rebounding and inside scoring gives teams fits. His defence is also decent as long as he's in the paint, his size and strength makes him a deterrent to inside scorers.

- One of Tatum's better passing games. He surprisingly hit some easy passing looks even though he did miss a few (but it wouldn't be Tatum if he didn't miss easy passes lol) and even attempted to thread the needle for some more advanced passes.

- Theis Theis Baby was sneaky good as usual, providing us versatile defence and solid decision making on offence. I think our duo of Kanter and Theis is good enough to handle most, if not all matchups at the centre position - both of them have different qualities that we can mix and match according to our matchup.
