That pass by Ingram on the Pels first score was so good Harlan thought it was a miss. :lol:

I know Pels will outrebound us, but can’t just give them freebies. Gotta grab those ones that are bouncing…

Also make your FT

I need metric on Booker's FT% with the MVP chant.

Good call by Split in putting Mikal on CJ. Ingram can shoot over pretty much anyone in the league, so it's probably better to have a physical guy on him to make him work harder before the shot instead of prioritizing the shot contest.

Love getting Cam that layup..he never really got his shot going after coming back from injury. Hopefully that gets him going

The Twins have that winning pedigree. First play is an easy bucket all based on IQ.

Herb Jones plays really good defense, but he's already getting away with a lot of fouling.

Book with two nice lob passes in the 1st quarter. He seems to have really improved that part of his game this season.

I had the exact same reaction as that fan after the Cam slam. :lol:

The only thing that could make this better is if we were playing the Lakers.

LOL, maybe. I still think the Pels are going to fight but their youth and inexperience are really showing early in this game.

Devonte Graham has to be such a pain in the ass for Willie Green. He's been really poor this season, but they need someone to bring offense off of the bench so Willie has no choice to play him early every game.

End of the 1st quarter. We definitely seem like a much better team than they do so far. It is just a lot more work for them to generate offense. I do think this Pels team plus Zion would be pretty scary.
