    Kanter and Jones played great defense in the second half

    I definitely disagree. I don't blame you. You wouldn't know because the coach doesn't know how to draw up on offensive set unless it's give Damian the ball and go.

    Which half did he take a majority of his shots outside the key? Appears to be neither. You can't just make stuff up to fit your narrative, look at his shot chart.

    I didn't say anything about shots outside the key. You're literally making up my argument. Lol

    Gary, Jones and Kanter don’t touch the ball unless they’re finishing....for a reason.

    Stotts holds Atlanta to 40 points in the 2nd half without 2 of his 3 best players. Give him the game ball

    Well said. Why would we want our bad ball handlers dribbling around?

    I had no problem with that, but I did with everything else.

    Gary is a bad ball handler? We disagree.

    Good win but we can’t have dame playing 40+ minutes every night. We might need a point guard more than another big and we need another big.

    Kanter isn't good enough to play for Donovan or Stevens, but Stotts makes him look good at times... that's amazing coaching!

    LOL. Kanter in the post-game interview is shocked to hear that he had 5 blocks tonight. As were we all.
