Nice, composed close to the game by Kyrie.

Gaining some confidence in him.

Horford, steady as always.  Clutch.

Larkin and Baynes look like useful role players to have.

Tatum, Brown, rough but talented.  Rozier continues to look pretty good.

Theis, Yabu, Nader, Bird .... hopefully we won't need to play these guys anymore once Smart and Morris are back.

Kyrie hit two big buckets earlier but I'm not liking some of these possessions.  Ball isn't moving enough and we're relying on Kyrie too much.
'Did you watch the team last year?  It's the same thing IT was running exactly.

I watched every game except maybe one last year.  I'd prefer for us to not have too many possessions like that despite IT having a special year and an incredible ability to score in the 4th.

Yeah, the team goes through some possessions with absolutely no off ball movement. Hard for anyone to look good when they have absolutely no choice but to go one on one
I'm bitter.

Most players can't do that, it's why he is a big time player.  Same reason they leaned on IT.  Without Hayward, it's not gonna change.

The rest of the game is one thing but the posessions down the stretch were mostly good.

Good win, nice to see them gut it out. Larkin getting the team into their sets in the 4th really turned the game around.

What happened to Jaylen in the second half? He disappeared down the stretch.

Intensity got much better in the 4th.

Next game is Tuesday. Could use that long layoff to develop chemistry in practice.
