Goes to show how plus/minus isn't everything. Awaka was our best player before Love went off in the last 5 minutes imo.

Yeah, outside of Bryant and Dell'Orso, the chart is ass-backwards.

I think it is fairly accurate. Townsend and Delly were completely overmatched in this game.

Awaka was a victim of being out there in poor rotations where thankfully the whistles were swallowed enough so that he actually was able to throw some 'bows and get his points.

Huge game for Awaka. Impact should probably be flipped. Love was maybe the worst by far on that chart until his last few shots which were indeed extremely impactful and without them were a bust, but even when he hit a 3 down the stretch, he ended up taking a few terrible shots. He got a nice run out and instead of passing, he let his foot hit the line and turn it over...

Carter at the top is just wonderful to see. Fouls got Tommy into a little pickle down the stretch and I didn't like his strategy to make Henry miss that 2nd FT, but we got our "lucky game".

Let's hope we can keep all of this going.

After Townsend shooting threes with confidence to start the year, this is not where I thought he would be right now. The rest make sense from a projection standpoint and where we should be come march. Hopefully love climbs though.
