    Same except I thought it might have been concussion like symptoms. Glad he was alright, obviously.

    I think we actually need to play McGee more than 22 minutes. The guy is way better than I expected and we are just a different team with him on the floor. Guards will think twice about coming in the lane with McGee on the floor...he's a shot blocking menace.

    JAVALE MCGEE!!! Has grown from his shaqtin a fool heyday. He may be our 2nd most important pickup this off-season. He plays hard and he makes the right plays. The early awkwardness he had as a younger player is gone.

    There were like 4-5 occasions in the 2nd quarter where Phoenix guards penetrated with a clear lane to the basket but then froze in their tracks when they saw javale. There's blocking shots and altering shots, but then there's intimidating shooting altogether. Love this cat.

    All I ever wanted was a guy who would give max effort on both ends around the rim.

    McGee is quickly becoming a favorite.

    OK, we need to keep him. He scores, plays D, blocks shots, has great attitude. Sure, he looks gassed after 7-8 minutes on the floor, but man... that has to be the best contract in the league right now. Seriously.

    He can sign a 2 year extension worth the minimum.

    Fire up the contract Rob!

    He’s earning Moz-Deng level $$$ playing like this. If we can lock him at minimum for two more years that’s a HEIST.

    This guy has been incredible. He hardly misses around the rim, he dunks every time he is remotely close enough to try to make sure of that. He also got 2 clean blocks called goaltends, so he didn’t have 1 block he had 3. Stupid refs.

    I don’t have enough superlatives to describe his play. Right now, he clearly plays at an all-star level.

    I don’t think Brolo would have the same affect that McGee does with his athleticism.

    Lopez would’ve been far too slow, been camping outside for threes, and slow recovering.

    Javale is the perfect center for us, if only he had the capacity to play 30+ mpg.

    This guy is a BEAST. Seriously if he keeps this up all year...he'll be an all star.

    He's easily our 2nd best player this year. By a wide margin.
