Wow Queta with a monster game. I hope he builds on this. JB has been a stud all season. Too bad DW and PP had poor shooting games. We had a chance to get this win.

Great games from JB, Q and Hauser wasted due to crap games from White, PP, Simons and the rest.  Tough to win games when your 2-4 best players aren't contributing much

[Who]

Queta makes this team watchable.

This team without him was unbearable to watch. Like a mediocre high school basketball squad competing against the best teams in the country.

Queta is the only quality (useful) size we got.

agreed.  when Garza was out there his old teammates knew all his weaknesses and went after him very effectively

This was probably Q's best game I've seen him play for us. He's been a bright spot in this gap year for sure.

As for PP and White, 10-40 shooting (25%) and 3-16 from 3 (19%) won't cut it. And disturbingly it's now a trend, White is shooting 36%/32% overall/from 3 and PP is a little better at 44%/34%. They're finding out that life is much harder when you don't have Tatum's gravity to pull defenders to him. Goes to show how great a job Jaylen is doing, shooting 50%/34% as the primary focus of the opposition defense. He's lethal from the midrange, Jordanesque at times.

[SHAQATTACK]

Oh well

Back to tank o rama

[Atzar]

Wasn't able to watch much.  In lieu of celebrating a victory, I'll at least celebrate Jaylen and Queta.  Looking forward to JB's jersey going in the rafters one day, and Queta is a quality big in this league.

Queta is turning into a force. That's awesome to see. Jaylen has also been splendid this season.

This team can absolutely compete against anyone (except OKC) when Tatum returns, although they still need to add another big man for sure either this deadline or next offseason

[Neurotic Guy]

Just watched. Really good 1st half. JB was ridiculous.  And Queta - wow.

Cs missed an awful lot of threes in the fourth before mounting the 12-0 run to tie. JB, at that point, should have stopped hoisting and gone back to driving and creating space.  But the story of this game for me was Queta.  I am amazed at his development. His hands, his poise.  Queta was a seriously good NBA center tonight. And he?s been surprisingly good all year.  Simons, PP, and DW, and Sam need to make shots that we know that should make. If that happened they win tonight.  But I?m glad for another entertaining game.  Can?t imagine there will be a ton left in the tank for tomorrow. But good effort tonight.  This team with JT definitely contends in the East.

Also want to throw in - I love Minott.  Continues to make energy plays. Need more Minott.
