Damn Ded +24.  Goodwin +7 with only 6 minutes?  Wtf Lloyd.  I don’t care what Jeff was doing Goodwin brings an edge on both ends that Jeff’s numbers can’t match.

Jeff was a +10. He played well today, and I'd have probably played him even more.

Start Bruno Wednesday instead of Jones and only play Damian Jones if every big man or guy that acts as one is fouled out.

Yeah well, bout as good as we have shown on the second leg of a back to back this year. A loss is not a moral victory and all that but Dedmon belongs here for sure and is showing it for us. Get some bodies healthy and move forward.

The effort was good. We just couldn't defend. They were straight violating Kevin and Trae on defense. At least most of the points scored on Cam or De'Andre was tough

They gave up 133 points and repeatedly left shooters wide open. That comes from a lack of effort. 

You don’t give up 133 points while still giving good effort.

Trae starting to play hero ball smh

He already gets his fair share of questionable calls.  The flopping and looking at the refs is too much for me.  Lin’s mentorship is missed I think, Jeff still needs mentorship himself lol.

We kept having to help Trae and sometimes Trae and Kevin have low BBIQ and try to help Hunter or Cam when they don't need it, let them fight. Ugh, this one was one the 2nd year kids

Nice effort. Back to backs are rough on young teams...at least we didnt get blowed out...Magic were hitting everything,..

They were on the 2nd of a back to back with 4 players going 47+ min last night. That they were even competitive proves they gave good effort. 

The 4 starters that went 47+ min last night were a combined -83. There's a reason for that.

Forgot to mention glad Cam is ok now and he looked good. His minutes might have been somewhat restricted tonight, not sure. Good to have him back.

I just never looked at Jeff as a winning player outside of the year Bud made him defend and it made him an AS.

He looked good offensively at times and defensively at times. He still got some rust to shake off. Glad he got the minutes

Teams have had back to back games going back forever. This team routinely gives up 115-125 points. Back to back or not.

Surely this was Jeff's best game for us though. Will take that effort every time out because you just never know with him from one game to the next.

I’m honest about what this team is.

Most can’t see past their bias.
