Both had good minutes and got the win. Damn near perfect night.

Liked what I saw from DD. Gutsy win. This team comes out with intensity from the start. Love that.

That's some good Basketball.

I didn't catch all of the game. Love the DD minutes and hype. Can someone explain the -18 away for me?

Dallas getting got by CJ Stockton tonight.

CJ needs to look for Trey a bit more when he drives

Strange game. Both teams shot 50% + from the field, which reduced the rebound totals. Pels only had 26 boards. lol

After 4 games, Trey is 13/19 from the three point line.

whoa thats a crazy stat. I cant explain it although he was part of a pretty ugly lineup Graham - DD - Naji - Jax - JV totally dysfunctional offense

I didnt think he was as good as people here think, but as far as the plus minus, guy shared the floor with Jaxson. Enough said.

Chuck big dumb arse.."Somebody named T Murphy was 8 - 8 and 4 - 4 from three."

Yeah Chuck kid can shoot. Was 50/40/90 in college. :rolleyes:

The thing I’m liking about this win is it didn’t feel lucky. We competed with them all night and didn’t win due to some otherworldly 3 point streak or Luka laying a turd in the bed. This team is talented. It is deep. CJ despite his struggles and Jonas both demand respect as well from defenses and it shows.

He was not in with Naji most of his minutes. He replaced him. Naji was 6 - 8 tonight.

I swear Temple didn't get this much hate.

Awesome game, without 3 starters. This team is going to get better the hole season.

Chuck knows very very little about the current NBA. Nor do his co-hosts, for that matter.

Kenny and Kevin are alright. Shaq is pretty bad with his current knowledge

Naji played great when you add the defense of him keeping Luka from getting the ball in some possessions.

I really hate +- analysis. Dyson’s defense passes the eye test. I continue to be impressed by the way he can stay in front of whoever he’s guarding. And unlike most rookies he doesn’t bail the offensive player out by reaching. It wouldn’t surprise me if by the end of the year he’s on the court at the end of close games.

Bingo

I will say Green is weird about defensive substitutions at times as has been pointed out. I’d wager it’s part of some philosophy that if you play hard you will earn those extra minutes despite not being a great defensive player. Interesting to say the least

Naji was excellent btw. Dyson needs minutes but Naji was a big part of this win. Hopefully he learned his lesson to stop clocking his own star teammates in the nose.

Kenny can say some insightful things about 3 - 5 times per month. But Chuck, Shaq, and all the rest of them on tv and radio are absolutely horrid.

Didnt renew Sirius/XM for the NBA station for that reason this year.
