  1. Hell Yeah, Love me some Andre Drummond. I hope he continues to get more minutes!

  2. DRIVE HOME SAFELY!!!!

    Huge game tomorrow. These next few games is our season. Good to see we stopped fucking around early in the 4th tonight. Shoutout to Andre Drummond 💪🏽

  3. #BEEP BEEP

    I know the obvious story tonight is Drummond who played like a beast, but Coby White’s game is legit. LET HIM COOK.

  4. Shout out Billy for actually riding the hot hands for once. This is the result of not strictly sticking to your rigid rotations

  5. We handily beat a bad team! Nice to not have to stress about these games down the stretch now and then

  6. Takeaways from tonight’s game:

    * Deebo got off to a rough start and then led a massive run late in the third and into the 4th quarter when we really pulled away. Solid game as a whole. It is massive how much he controls the pace when teams start pushing for a comeback.
    * Zach had a rough one as a whole. He started out super well and kinda just didn’t come back into the game after the 1st quarter. He showed up again in the 4th quarter, but at that point the game was already over.
    * Vucevic was solid as hell as always. Another day another double/double. Crazy consistency from him this whole season. He got a little loose with the ball at times, but it was a really good game as awhole.\
    * Pat looked fucking great tonight imo. In the third quarter, there was a 5 minute stretch where he was doing everything on both sides of the floor. I was a little sad he didn’t get any PT in the 4th, but with the ankle twist, I could see resting him. Positive game as a whole.
    * Ayo had a solid game as a whole with limited touches.
    * Drummond heard the trade rumors and then went out there tonight with a purpose. Efficient scoring, insane rebounding, and played really good defense. Probably the best player on the team over the game.
    * DJJ had a stretch of insane defensive possessions and deserves some credit. Man got work done tonight.
    * The rest of the bench didn’t have stellar nights, but were all solid to good with them and Demar being the lineup that really looked the best tonight. It was fun watching Coby farm in garbage time.
    * Terry got a few real minutes on the floor and snagged a block in there. The kid very much moves with intent, but it does look like he could get out of control at times.

    MVP’s for tonight: Andre Drummond with HM’s going to DeRozan and Vucevic

  7. Everyone be wanting Jakob Poetle when we just saw two centers give him 20 and 10 in the same game 😹

    Meanwhile Andre Drummond dominated him +30

    Maybe teams realize Drummond is better and worth 2 first round picks instead of that fraud Poetle 🤔

  8. Tonight we broke the streak of close losses to bail out teams on loss streaks…tomorrow we break the streak of capping out at 3 consecutive wins?? 🤞

  9. Drummond and Dragic low key best off season signing of last year, if it wasn’t for them the team prolly would’ve blown up by now

  10. Although this game didn’t move my confidence meter at all, it was a really fun game to watch and honestly have no idea what we do at the deadline

  11. I love that Pat is getting mean and going for dunks now. He almost had a monster one after the first one. With his size and athleticism there is no reason he can’t be going downhill all night long. He is slowly gathering a triple threat bag

  12. Something that should not go overlooked this game cuz of drummond’s amazing game was Pat Williams.

    He was making some really good decisions with the ball and had an all around great game scoring, distributing, and defending.

  13. We really should never be out rebounded. Breaking even is whatever but some of those awful losses we were getting outboarded and Drummond was warming the bench

  14. GIVE DRUMMOND THE MINUTES. This dude changes the flow of the game in both sides of the court.

  15. Dragic doesn’t get talked about much, but he really goes out there and tries to set his guys up, you can just tell players are diving to the basket and waiting for kick outs because they know he is looking for them, it doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet, but I respect that style of play

  16. Unless I’m mistaken we were last .500 at 6-6. Tomorrow could be the first time we’re .500 or better since Nov 8th.
