    Much much better showing by DC and Rupes.

    The Przybilla comps for Donovan are just off. He has much better feel. He's just slow.

    So Clingan is basically the Juggernaut on defense?

    For those watching, can he do this against starters in the league? Dude seems to get blocks like they are going out of style.

    Cling Kong and the Vanilla Gorilla sounds like a comic book title.

    Loving what DC and Rupes are doing. Murray’s shot still just looks broken.

    Murray has no lift on his three.

    Guess we know for sure by now which of the Murray brothers won the 1v1’s in the driveway.

    The play by play guy on ESPN was just waiting to work in a “he went to Jared” and IMO the dude kind of forced it but I still laughed a little.

    I don’t know. I still feel like Kris is too up tight and rushed. I bet you he feels comfortable playing ones against Keegan and I bet it helps his game a lot. Dude just needs to get his head straight.

    Can’t we bring in one distributor to play with the team?

    Clingan. But the guards need to throw him the ball.

    Man, I hate watching little guards dribble the air out of the ball then pass to another little guard who hucks up a shot.

    Is Zach Edey ever going to play again in SL? He had one good game and they've sat him.

    Clingan looking like he has the ability to be a real presence in the paint. Something we haven’t really had at an extremely high level for a long long time.
