Kira looked a little better as well in the first half. Hell even Temple before he went down.

This team lacks another scorer . Already fighting an uphill battle in most games . If Naw doesn’t show up the margin for error is minuscule . Tonight we got stuck on 94 for 4-5 straight possessions , and shortly after getting it tied again BI forced a terrible shot . That one possession was the margin.

Sorry, not to me. His +/- was still -8. I think it's been negative in every game. We don't play winning basketball with him running the point.

Yep, we're missing about 30 ppg (it's sitting on the bench)

Oh Na, I'm not saying he's good by any means but he looked a lot more confident tonight pairing with Temple. I dont even remember seeing him in the 2nd half

And I think people also continue to under value Hart's energy and team defense.

I agree that had Zion, or even Hart been available our rebounding looks different, this game looks different.

I think this is an easy win if healthy and that's something I don't really think I would have said before this season started, even assuming full health.

But things are coming together for everyone around Zion, and that bodes well for his return.

The biggest concerns right now are NAW and Kira. They both have better play inside them---the coaches just have to find a way to get it out.

I'd add Hayes to big concerns list, but unlike NAE and Kira I'm not confident much else is there.

I still can't believe how bad of a rebounder he is. It's like he learned nothing in the last 2 seasons in the league.

I wouldn't. He didn't have a good game tonight, but he played well in both Minnesota games.

To be fair, being a -14 in 11 minutes when you yourself were 3-3 from the field is pretty impressive

Kira did play pretty well today. He himself led that 2nd quarter run quite honestly

Rookie Herb Jones' vet answer when asked about his offense: "I'm always confident on the offensive end, but there are so many guys out there that can score the ball a lot better than I can right now. I know my role. I'm not going to get outside of what I need to do for the team."
Mature beyond his years.

Man I wish we had Desmond Bane. He’s such a solid player all the time

Bruh we could’ve thrown a literal dart at 13 and landed on 20 other guys that have contributed more than Kira so far lol

Last years draft was deep as hell in terms of quality role players

Props to Kira though. He had a few decent plays tonight.
