I thought Hendricks looked great, so much better than preseason. There were still a couple times when I noticed teammates pointing him in the right direction, but mostly he looked like he belongs.

We ain't good at making the 3.

He has crazy long strides and gets up to speed like a Tesla Plaid.

That Hendricks drive where he scooped up the errant bouncing pass and took it up against two dudes and scored showed his quickness from a standstill and that he's not afraid of contact.

Yes. George 1/8, Simone 1/8, collins 1/4.
3 starters = 15% from 3
Yikes

But thank you for revealing to the rest of us that your knowledge of basketball is sophomoric, and I’m being generous.

I never tried to hide it, my friend.

Shot clock ran out before he got the shot off

Thank you. I didn't see a foul and thought it was bs. This makes sense. That was a nice play by him anyway.

Yurt is definitly a great surprise. Definitly a keeper. I'm also happy with Fontecchio, he play quite decently.

Ya tech has been the biggest surprise of the season for me.

We shot 20.6% from 3, lost the TO battle 17-9, had 1 more foul than they did.... but won.

• Scoot looked so much better offensively than I've seen in any game this season, but the dude is not a PG. Also his defense wasnt great.
• Hendricks was pretty invisible for majority of the time but everytime he was seen he was REALLY seen. Great first game for the rookie, considering his lack of touches.
• Keyonte didnt catch fire and shot the 3 just 1/8 but MAN he gave up his body to draw fouls and get those 10 FTs. He is obviously on a mandate to shoot more pass less right now but still got some nice passes in there.
• Sexton was a scoring machine until he wasnt. He is great in that 6th man bench scorer role, but I wonder if the 4th quarter result would have been better with Ochai in there for him and more emphasis on defense.

I always look forward to your recaps after each game. Always interesting/thought provoking and on point. Keep it up

Simone should play a lot, even when we get Lauri and KO back. If Simone has this kind of try hard and do well attitude, I can see him closing some games even when we' re full strength. Keynote- Ochai-Simone-Lauri-Yurt/Kessler could be quite good closing out games where we have a lead.

With yurt and Simone playing well and Taylor needing some minutes, I think it may be time to trade KO. When we are healthy minutes are going to be really crunched. Also should definitely trade Clarkson when we can.

Based on the number of steps players in the league get, I was surprised to see the travel called on Keyonte. Looked like he took two steps after tbe gather. LeBron would get at least two more steps.
