great hustle by brown!!!

Why the heck are we double big again, especially against a small unit with no Sabonis in there? I don?t understand Joe?s fascination with this double big lineup, especially against small, shooting teams. It?s killing us.

I'm guessing he doesn't trust anyone else.

Yeah, that?s the only thing I can figure, too. Feels like we?re missing a key bench swing/wing piece, at least for the regular season.

Yeah this game there really isn?t another option. Peterson and Walsh are both out. Springer is not good at all so they don?t have another option. And in general even when Walsh and Peterson are healthy don?t think they inspire confidence. Don?t like the double bigs much either but think it?s the best option based on our roster right now. Really need to pick up another wing for this reason but not sure what?s realistic.

Lonnie Walker is right there for us guys!

Bruh Sabonis already has 11 rebounds WHAT!!?

 Team looking better with JT on the bench

Ellis? feet were moving. Should challenge that for the travel call.

Eh, as keevsnick said earlier in the thread, I think it has more to do with us playing 3+ starters at a time instead of a Tatum + bench lineup.

The Tatum + bench lineup works when the others can hit their shots that Tatum creates for them, but that's not been the case of late.

Sabonis is a beast on the boards...14 and counting.

That's our future big man

Jaylen and Horford can't hit a 3 to save their life

[jpotter33]

JT has to take better care of the ball. 4 assists but 3 TOs already, too.

Wow, refs!

[Atzar]

About time the refs blow the whistle on Sabonis in the rebounding action.  He gets away with a ton down there.
