    I would run through a brick wall for Eugene Omoruyi. What an absolute stud. That closing lineup was fun as hell.

  2. DollarLate_DayShort

    Not sure how many minutes anyone on the court who closed out this game will get in the regular season… but one thing we *WONT* have to worry about with those 4(not sure about Muscala) whenever their number is called, is defensive effort.

  3. pm_me_jk_dont

    That was so much fun to watch.

    – Really like Ryan Rollins. Clever player and completely ambidextrous. Lowkey think he would offer more as the backup PG than Delon (offensively, at least)

    – Don’t care if Kispert goes cold for a while, still good to see him taking a lot of 3s. Absolutely nothing to lose this season. And his off-ball movement will continue to improve, too

    – Bilal… my god bro. This kid can be special if he’s even hitting *some* shots from outside. That two-handed block is already one of our highlights of the season

    – Love seeing Kuz go downhill and to the rim so often. Also love his support from the bench

    – Muscala is lowkey good and already seems to have a good relationship with his teammates. That left-handed putback was absolutely hilarious

    – Omoruyi was a baller on both sides of the floor, although I’m gonna bang my head into the wall the next time I hear Drew Gooden talk about his ‘want-to’ lmao

    – Have to also give a quick shout-out to Johnny Davis. Looking much improved all around and has already become more of a defensive presence than I remember him being

  4. I’m enjoying every win we can get this season, even if it’s preseason! Our end of bench guys clutched out the W, shout-out EUGENE. He’s pure energy. Also Bilal is really it, he was everywhere defensively once again and his shot was falling too! Future is bright man

    I’ve seen enough

    I genuinely haven’t had this much fun watching a team play. I started watching this team and basketball as a whole a year ago. All I can say is Bilal and Omoruyi, love to see more from them.

  7. MooseHeavy3675

    If Bilal doesn’t get the key to the city we riot

  8. yumomnom

    Bilal and Gaff are nice with the rim protection, but they gotta decide whose going for the block. They were kinda getting in each other’s way tonight and giving up the offensive rebound. I know Gaffs the landlord, but sometimes you gotta let the superintendent do maintenance.

  9. Quick_Work_263

    Good vibes from the closing unit. I will say that against some actual nba competition the shortcomings of the regular rotation were on much more prominent display. Kuz was really the only thing holding the team together offensively the entire first half. Also the rebounding on the defensive end was strikingly bad. The tank will indeed be unstoppable this season.

    Does Nsoza still exist somewhere?
