I thought we were going to blow it.   Missed free throws, stupid turnovers, missed bunnies, leaving them wide freaking open on the arc. 

Does this team practice ?

I [picked JB but Egwu was a close second.  This was a huge win for two reasons, one is that we need to steal a few road wins because we will lose a few home games.  second, and most important, we could not go 1-4 over the last  5.  Being a youn g team, they were already feeling stressed and frustrated, now we can feel better and get back home.

Only got to see the last 10 minutes so I can not give a Cotg.  Any road win is a good win.  It was ugly for sure.  But part of it being ugly is the amount of kids who are playing and that will only pay dividends for the future.
 
So a win and kids developed.  Win Win.  Egwu, Henry, Abrams.  Cool.

I didn't see the first half, but even so I had to go with Nanna.....9 unexpected points was huge.

We played hard tonight, but just have to hit shots.

Except Leonard, who for ~20 minutes was totally uninterested in the game. But he made a few plays down the stretch. Effort was there as you said with everyone else.

Not sure what his deal is

ML has to get over the tough guy shit and get his head on straight....stop the pouting, man up and play hard all the time, young man....you have all the skill in the world.

We saw a preview of what our roster will look like next year minus Devin. TA is a hustler but he has to find a offensive game over the summer. Griff is quickly falling to the end of the bench with his play.

I don't have a problem with it. Its part of his personality. He just needs to channel it and use conflicts to motivate him. He wears his emotions on his sleeves.

TG just doesn't compete..he's soft and just uninterested.  I like TA at times tonight.  Can't get over all the boneheaded crap BP pulls...crazy how poor his passing is and my grandmother could have picked his pocket when she was 90. 
Any win on the road is a good win...a bit too close for comfort and NW could have been beaten by the Washington Generals, but I'll take it.

I don't mind the ML tough guy stuff but the hanging out while the ball is bouncing next to you or giving up 3-4 straight uncontested layups I need to see changed
