    listened to your post game and wanted to mention that one of you mentioned Tolliver did nothing last night over Skal….Skal was playing on a sprained ankle but in fairness Tolliver got 7 boards and 6 points in 20 plus minutes and Skal got 6 boards and 1 pt in 17 minutes......Skal was obviously on minutes restriction being our backup center and Tolliver played solid defense in stretches...altered shots....I know he's not a fan favorite but he didn't play a bad game from my view....he had a block and a steal as well and only 2 turnovers.....I got the impression from the podcast that he was a liability on the court and I didn't see it at all.....and I also want to say that even though he's been struggling on offense, Mario has a good motor and makes defense a priority and yes...in my view he belongs in the NBA..he's just trying to hard....I think the team could chip in and get Mario a lap dance or something to take the edge off.

    Sophomores don't get MIP (I think, that would be kinda weird)

    I believe Duckworth got MIP in his 2nd season.

    There's some other higher profile MIP candidates this year with Anunoby/Dejounte Murray/etc. Hell, I'd probably give it to Siakam again.

    Ant needs more usage and minutes to truly get consideration.

    Hmm I believe you are wrong. We would have watch Moses Brown go for a 20/20

    Hey, thanks for tuning in!

    I'm hoping Tolliver finds his stroke but he's a 3 point specialist that isn't hitting 3's. His two turnovers were bad live ball ones that led directly to an easy basket for the Hawks. On defense he didn't really have a tough matchup so it's hard to tell if he had any impact on that end. Overall I'd say he did a few things well but the turnovers and missed shots are outweighing the positives right now but he's definitely not the reason we almost lost. I do wish that Little coming off a decent game would've been given an opportunity to come in sooner than he did but I also understand he's a rookie.

    As for Hezonja, the Blazers have been giving up a ton of offensive rebounds at the beginning of games and he's not crashing the boards very much. He was earlier in the year though. He's playing some pretty solid individual defense but isn't having a huge impact on the game right now. For both he and Tolliver they just need some shots to start falling.

    Can't believe so many of you claimed Huerter got a free pass from CJ for a three.

    You guys seriously didn't see he was pushed out of the way by Huerter?! It was a clear foul. Even old Calebro called it live lol
