    This is what surprises me most. I knew the rest of his game would be fine but did not think he could be a decent PG. He has really improved in this area.

    Once McCollum comes back Nas hits the bench and Simons minutes will be reduced. Can’t have either of that happening, especially if we’re not gonna make the playoffs. Cronins to do list is obvious. Also need to decide if they’re gonna attempt to re-sign Roco. If not, trade him too.

    I was pretty mad at the time but now looking back at it... the moment when Herro couldn't believe he was ejected after seeing what Lowry got ejected for earlier in the game is absolutely hilarious!

    It looked like nothing... the leg didn't buckle or anything but it may have twisted a bit. He just jumped and then came down and then couldn't really move well. I think he was immediately calling for a sub but never went down. I think it's a coin flip between either a sprained or torn ligament in his knee... and because I didn't see the knee shift laterally, I'm not even sure if the injured ligament will be his ACL.

    Eight 3s is too much for Nas. That's settling. He's a killer when he attacks the hoop and stays aggressive offensively. He's too good to settle for corner threes. He's got a good enough handle to take it on his own. He'll get better.

    Billups called out the perimeter defense, said they couldn’t guard the ball which put too much pressure on the backline. Pretty much an issue all year so far.

    The issue all DECADE under Neil’s roster construction.

    And the stench of Neil is still permeating this team.

    To be fair, I think Billups talked to him pretty strong cuz the next time he had the ball behind the 3 pt line, you could definitely see he was not gonna even think about shooting, even with under 4 seconds left. My question for Nurk would be; why are you behind the three point line on an inbounds play with less than 4 seconds??!!
