    His range of moves does seem to be getting better. Now if he can be consistent with that...

    Plums has to be one of, if not the, best passing bigs in the game.

    Looks like @HCP gave his pal, Batum, a pep talk.

    Sweet assist by Dame to Plums, who hangs in air and earns the and-one!

    Vonleh's a beast. And he's young. If he keeps this up, he could easily be an All Star in a couple of years.

    Vonleh's growth this season is impressive, IMO.

    Regardless of his stats, he looked awful early in the season and looks like he's getting it now.

    It pissed me off when he couldn't finish in the lane, in spite of good looks. Now he's playing with authority.

    He's still a work in progress tho.

    CJ is having a bad game, but literally everyone else is playing well.

    Nic looks like last season's Nic.

    Like I said in another thread, what we've seen from him this season is the kind of thing that really should be recognized by the MIP award. As it stands, it's the "player who increased their scoring output over the prior year" award, but that's usually more about opportunity than actual improvement.

    I like that we're making teams play our game for a change instead of catch up ball

    Good game so far. Obviously two pretty evenly matched teams. Hopefully the HCA gives the 'zers the edge come the final buzzer.

    CJ seems like a second half player a lot of the times..I'll bet he ends up with 20 pts somehow
