- truly a bizarre half. We played some of the worst offense of the season for the first 10 minutes. Thank goodness we are hitting from 3.

- Overall, they’ve missed some decent looks, but we are playing really good defense. They found something with isoing Mitchell at the end there, but I’m not sure he can keep that up all half, and I think you live with that over letting them go from 3. If he keeps hurting us, need to start getting some digs from our guards when he’s backing us down.

- it wasn’t only this… but offense took off when Oweh picked up his second and Chandler came in. Reaching the point where he just needs to play.

- Hoping we get a classic second-half Oweh performance here.

- Williams carries us on both ends. He looks like an adult playing against teenagers. Always interesting to see how people defend him - more and more teams are guarding him beyond the 3 point line even though he’s a non-shooter because he just picks you apart with his passing. Trouble with that is he’s good enough with his handle to take most bigs off the dribble, then he either finishes over help, gets fouled, or distributes like a guard. Really unique player. And increasingly good at protecting the rim.

Nice finish to the half.

Pretty happy after fully expecting to **** on the floor the last minute and only be up 5.

He's hitting **** out of his ***. Williams has defended him as well as you can with these hip fire officials.
Lay-ups aren’t hard to make. Williams is giving him too much space off the dribble. Once his momentum is going downhill, there’s nothing Williams can do to stop it.

They keep letting them foul the crap out us on top.

You just can't call Almomor for that foul, that wasn't remotely close to what we have to deal with, then watch how they play our weave or go over the back (like Mitchell on Williams) and swallow your whistle.

This is the **** that is infuriating. Don't call ticky tack ****.

I guarantee you that over half of his **** he's hit inside isn't a layup and was a hybrid hook jump shot where he was at a terrible angle because Williams uses his lower body to keep him off balance.

Hell, even the commentators are mentioning how tough the shots he's hitting are, because they are.

How many more wins do we have if we shoot just 10% better inside 6’ this season? 2? 5? Maddening.
