Yeah, good to know we have options when Morris leaves.
Fiz had a better game BUT he needs to have good games consistently. We have talent we should be 3-1 but hopefully this sparks a winning streak. Portis deserves the most credit tremendous game. RJ IMO was like winning the lottery
Coming back from 18 down and 10 in the fourth is sweet. When you don't know how many of these we'll get, you have to savor them.
so far this season havent been a Portis fan!!! but tip my hat to him tonight but im still on his azzzz each game

Yep
Frank is still an offensive liability, but right now he brings more to the table. Hope Fiz agrees.
Bringing RJ in to play point actually ignited us on the offensive end (15-0 run)...This was a move that didn't work in a previous game. Fiz had the guts to go back to it!
In a way he had to because they said Peyton was unavailable.
Still, he has done it consistently so credit where is due. RJ brings stability when playing PG. Still dont like to see extended minutes of him there against guys like Irving and Kemba, but he still makes it a solid battle no matter what.
It wasn't that long ago that some people were saying Iggy will be the better prospect.
Exciting game. Frank locking down whole possessions, RJ dominating, Knox playing spirited D and taking it to the hoop, and Bobby Portis wow. Just unconscious
Great game! Nice to see the crowd pumped like that!

Frank's defense is crazy good man. He really shuts penetration DOWN. But he just don't get his shots to drop. Every shot he took was a good one though in the flow of the offense. He isn't a strong creater that will generate it though. But I was hoping guys like Randle and Barrett would cover that weakness. But he needs to get those shot to drop.
But forget all that. OG Bobby Portis!!! as we call him in our fantasy bball league. I knew it was a matter of time. Guy gets buckets

His first three were rough. He acknowledged it though and said he hadn’t been able to get into a rhythm. It would be nice if this starts a good run for him.

Knox defense was surprising top notch. If he is doing that then sky is the limit

Wouldn't mind Iggy showing he is not that far off. 
Orange and Blue my heart feels good!
This is what it's about.
Forget the Anal-ysis for a minute - The dudes played UP not down -
Positive energy from a lot of key dudes-
Portis I was almost afraid of being overhyped with his first few shots going in but he made the big ones late- THAT IS REAL- to do both- good for him
Knox - was tough smooth and smart in several key plays
Barrett- As smart skilled and tough as anyone on the team- plays grown- I'm impressed-
Frank- 0 for a million but when he was on the floor we killed on D and he played the right way- on O he passed well and those shots will fall for him - he's someone who improves with reps-
Mitch- wild but kept us in it in the beginning- like Frank his energy is important
Wayne hit a couple big ones when we were way back - and Fiz didn't over use him when it faded
Randle was rough at first but came back much better later on- more in the flow-
It felt like the team was finding the mix and Fiz too. I'll enjoy this KoolAid.
Not that it was a win- it's how we won.

I've followed Portis for the last few seasons. He can fill it up regularly. That slump he was in was actually surprising for me. He isn't a 2 way player but he can score and rebound np

Am I the only one who thinks this is funny?
NO......
This is funny in a lot of ways!
Adding that Fiz finally came through with a win, makes it even funnier.
I like that he shines WITHIN the team
I bet Phil's real brain would too

I think Iggy brings what we need. Outside shooting with confidence. The other guy we got, who's injured is also a good shooter. We need these guys to help balance the floor. Better than RJ? Well, do you blame them....he was killing in summer league. And I think he can kill in the nba, once given the minutes. His time will come...All these vets aint coming back. Let him sit and learn.
I give FIzdale credit. If he coaches like this often we are gonna have a fun season because we have talent and depth. I really want the “experts” to eat a ton of crow
