    TBH it wasn't. Aminu got ball while getting kneed in the chest.

    Yeah I was about to say lol. Refs really are a joke. I know it benefitted my team but that just seems obvious.

    Aminu made up for everything with that stop on galinari. Lillard was lillard. Nice to see ET play well. He's so much better than he's shown and he still makes an impact when his shot isn't falling.

    We have to address our lack of offensive rebounding. It was pathetic.

    The only thing we could do there is play Ed Davis more at PF rather than Aminu. If Aminu doesn't shoot well....then why not?

    Honestly I'm just glad to have another piece of evidence to use should anyone ever start talking shit about Stotts as a coach. He has the potential to be one of the GOAT coaches.

    If he was a better defensive coach then he'd be near or at Popovich level.

    Especially with Plumlee shooting well on mid-range jumpshots.

    Aminu is a tweener. He's a mediocre shooter, and doesn't really have much of an inside game. As much as I shit on Leonard, I wonder if we'd actually be better off having him start at PF. May as well either have someone that's a good shooter, or someone who is good inside like Davis. Harkless seems to be a more reliable shooter than Aminu.

    Michael Malone was VERY complimentary of Stotts in his postgame interview. He basically said he was outcoached at the end.

    Leonard is gonna be trade bait

    The guy that needs more time is Vonleh.
