The bench really cranked up the defense.

Qtr 1 summary:
Our shooting carried us
Starters sleep walking and turning the ball over. Could make a damn free throw.
Too many boobled passes down low.
Piston don’t seem to be running plays well. Just mostly iso
Saric versus grant doesn’t seem like a good matchup for us. He’s been blocked twice.
Bench brining good energy and pushed out the lead a bit. Need to go on without not like raptors game

Monty’s strategy to play his 5 best players as his second unit instead of his starting unit has really worked wonders.

Solid first quarter, starters still a little sloppy but the bench extended the lead with some 3s from Cam, Book and Dario and being everywhere stopping everything on defense. Carter's caused a bunch of TOs, Cam Payne's been fighting everywhere, just a fun group to watch.

OK. The heat is on thanks to the bench but it's still way to early to relax. Keep pouring it on and make the 4th quarter meaningless.

Our bench is a group of cast offs / players who were dumped plus CJ who was mocked for his high draft position. All playing like they’ve got something to prove but I’m an unselfish way.

I’m hesitant to make claims so early but our bench is truly elite.

Gallo on flamethrower mode now, think he's 4-4 overall and 3-3 from three. 11pts in 5 minutes?

Galloway's release is so damn quick. A lot of times I'm thinking it's a bad shot because the defender is right on him, but no, it usually doesn't matter.

Major Quentin Richardson vibes from Galloway right now. A few absolutely ridiculous shots.
