It was anxious times, felt like the rope was slipping but they hanged on to it! Now we got them on the ropes (8 second violations and failure to box out). Time to deliver the knockout punch.

I mean, Markelle Fultz was tossing Mobley aside...

I remember in game 2 that Paolo was getting a shoulder into him. I haven't watched to see if that's continued. He's done a lot of his damage on recovery and coming in with help defense. Very similar to Isaac.

Gosh no. Their roster is so thin that it plays to our advantage big time despite a little extra space. Would you rather have Jarrett Allen or Morris and Niang out there?

Same... when I heard that stat about the team winning the 3rd quarter always won the game for the past 5 games my heart fell... then we somehow broke the mold and won. lol

I was emoting hard with that all bench lineup to start the 4th but they pulled off a 6-0 run like bosses. Incredible.

Right but where is your source for him having a 7'6" wingspan now?

I didn’t measure him but JI is the biggest guy on the team and has been, even with Vuc. (I guess Goga is right there too). If you stand near the bench you get a real sense of size. AG was smaller than you’d think, for example. Isaac and Vuc are every bit of 7’…regardless of hair. JI is massive - I don’t doubt that wingspan at all.
