Maston is so fun to watch when he's in the mood. He could go for 22-26 tonight.

Nuni can kill a run can't he? 4 of the last 6 possessions were buckets. TJ: 4/4. Nuni: 0/2. Ride the hot hand!

Maston has to touch the ball every time in a half time court set unless someone has a layup.

He doesn't have to shoot it, but he needs a touch.

Exactly. Nuni is a spot up guy with the occasional drive.

He's been dribbling too much today

The 12-0 UT 1st half run was my fault. I was leaving work to drive home and turned on tuneinradio app at 15-11 our lead. I jinxed us.

That's not reviewable at this point in the game either. Sucks.

Gotta get Jake back out there. TJ has cooled a bit but I like that he still wants to score. This is the point we need Manu running off solid screens for some dagger triples.
vanillabryce

Attaboy Jake! That's a tough drive
rudylaw

How is that not a shooting foul?

****ing Higgins!

Jake has to go up with it there
rudylaw

At this point, a coin flip is we'll get even one free throw.

Beating the Cows to the Bonus is likely to be the single biggest factor in a W. desperately need some easy points.

This game will come down to whichever big man picks up the most garbage around the basket.
Jo is playing better than next year's G League center. Always need to beat the refs in Austin.
