Ricky's ability to pinpoint the ball exactly where he wanted it to go might be his most underrated trait.

My initial look at Tyus on Wednesday is that his strength/athleticism have noticeably improved. The and-1 in transition was nice, and his defense seemed better. Anyone else see the same thing? (I admit I didn't see a lot of him last year.)


Tonight his lack of strength is standing out. Utah is just way too physical for him. He's getting pummeled.

I think the idea that those close misses in game 1 would soon start falling is fool's gold.

To his credit, he's passing up a lot more looks tonight than in Game 1.

That 4th rebound was a MAN rebound, and then the calmness to dribble into the long 3!

I hope KAT and Jimmy join the party soon.

Better game than against the Spurs.

Ball movement is much better with Tyus and Bjelica in the game.

He needs to be flagrantly fouled for being such a baby.


Crawford en fuego is fun to watch.

They're playing better when he's not on the floor.

His Butler at PF lineup let the Spurs blow open the game and now its let Utah back in.

As good as Wiggins was in the first half, he’s been as bad in the 2nd.

Status: offline 		We're going to have to play WAY better on Sunday.

Butler had a handful of huge plays, but didn't have a great overall game.

Wiggins had a strong half.

KAT wasn't good again. He looks a bit out of shape and he clearly misses the easy looks Rubio got him.

Taj was mostly solid.

Dieng is playing in molasses.

Both PGs were not good.

Really Bjelica and Crawford were the only guys who really played well.
