    It's nice to have the veteran presence of Ant-Ayton-Grant on this team. They can keep the game close, giving the young guys a chance to develop in competitive games. So important.

    Nobody is going to trade for his contract with this CBA.

    Looks like Billups' prayer were answered and Camara has an illness.

    So he didn't need to choose among Simons, Grant, Avdija and Camara.

    Grant is 1 of 5 on 2-point shots and that 1 he made was a dunk.

    I didn't see the other four 2-pointers that he missed. If it was typical as least one of them was probably egregiously ugly.

    As bad as Grant is on 2-point shots, he's as good on 3-point shots. They look very smooth.

    Ain't no way anyone's opinion of these two players are changing over one game (or even one season) at this point.

    Yeah CB is not wise to leave vets in there to win this thing. Have to get a top 3 pick. Bench all bets

    Sucks to win games we shouldn't. On the other hand, fuck the heat

    I think we are watching a team that will not change much at all the rest of the year. And possibly going into next year other than draft pick. Yeah, maybe a few guys released and a possible trade but I think Joe & Chauncey are going to roll with this core group.

    i love that this most likely will be Jimmy's last game for them and he's going out like a sore loser.

    poverty franchise.

    Deni was beside himself the Ant didn't pass to him on the transition and proceeded to turn the ball over.
