    In fairness, Alpi and Jalen WERE really bad in the first half. But Alpi went off in the 3rd and the team wisely ran the offense through him. Jalen scored a ton, but they came off of cuts to the basket and wide open 3s created by double teams on Alpi.

    Once everyone else got going, Jalen got going. He’s the ultimate confidence player. Need him to stay confident. Need the team to stay confident.

    As president of the Stephen Silas Haters Association this is the best night of the season for me. Watching him sit there and watch Jalen and Sengun do this to him is making me very happy.

    Ausar is good defensively but even Andre Roberson's defense wasn't able to compensate for being an absolute 0 on offense.

    Probably the best player of 21' draft. I thought it was a coin flip bw him and Wagner but Sengun has that x factor.

    You never see Silas do that, he just frowns at you.

    Wagner is not a take over the game kinda guy IMO. Alpi definitely is as we've seen tonight.
