Punching the ball a violation?

I didn't know this.

So, we went from a team that hardly ever turns the ball over to one who turns the ball over a lot.

Is it just me or James Young's defense greatly improved?

Kelly legitimately did not even jump on that rebounding attempt. And we wonder why we're the worst rebounding team in the league lol

JJ so far in 9 minutes as a starter - 3-3 for 9 pts, 3 rebs, and 1 blk, all along with better perimeter D from our big positions.

See how nice it is having a mobile big with Al actually playing his true position as a center, along with having another big that can hit the long ball in the starting lineup?

Getting hard to hide his weaknesses.  If It4 is your main guy, you almost can't have a weak defender on the court with him.

God, Rozier is so athletic. He should be a much better defender than he is. Hopefully he learns.

Nice couple of sequences by Roz. Once he settles in he plays much better.

Olynyk has value. It's just hard to hide his weaknesses on this team.
