    That scene where Pam feels her dreams die.

    Awful.

    5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, and 2 points in 16 minutes. Not bad for a guy who's been out of action for a whole month.

    Larry just does so many things right out there on the court. A joy to watch.

    He and Zu together in the front court was nice. Not surprised that they played well, great friends off the court and that camaraderie carried over to the game.

    Larry and Zu aren't doing special things. They are doing things that Randle and Mozgov should be doing but have proven to be unable to do because of a combination of inability and unwillingness.

    Love watching Nance play, sucks that he probably will never have a "healthy" year.

    7-13 for Larry tonight. Lots of hustle plays down the stretch. We really missed him. Wish all our other guys played with his heart.

    Agree... Seemed like Nance was the only one mixing it up inside.

    Sweet line from Larry this evening: 18, 11, 4 and 3 steals to go along with it. Wow!! Outstanding.

    How can you not like the way he plays? He plays hard, he plays smart, and he plays defense.

    Randle and Mozgov come off as stiffs compared to Nance and Zu who are more mobile with better touch on their shots. Randle's edge on Nance is the ability to handle the ball on the open floor and can be an adequate passer.

    Randle is also a slightly better shooter than Nance. Emphasis on slightly.

    Nance and Tarik are part of the reason I'm so critical of Randle. I know that we have options other than him.

    Larry played a 2 minute stretch where it seemed every second was like his life depended on him getting the ball. I love seeing that determination.

    My favorite player on the team. Like I've said, Ingram and Nance are the only two players I really care about anymore as it pertains to keeping them this offseason. Everybody looks at Russell, Randle and Ingram as our big 3 youngsters with Clarkson right there. Nance is a better player than all 4 of them. Not necessarily more talented, but a better, more impactful player. I was on his jock before the season started and said he was a better player than Randle, then Randle proceeded to play great for the first 20 games of the season and I backed off of that claim. Now Randle is back to his normal stat-stuffing self and being absolutely clueless on defense. It's unfortunate Nance can't stay on the court (although none of our guys seem to be able to outside of the 19 yr old kid that has 3 pounds of muscle on his entire body). He's a champion type player. HE's the kind of player that will be an important cog on a championship team. Everyone else (other than Ingram) don't seem to have that. They seem like talented players who will likely have decent NBA careers, but not really ever part of anything special.

    Nance is just a better basketball player than the rest of our young core. Not as talented as some but he does everything right out there.

    So this is what it's like in today's NBA being forced to draft immature kids in diapers based upon "potential" vs actual developed skill sets.

    Yes, I support a higher minimum age before entering the league or a modification of the rules. Too many players just aren't ready and would benefit from having to play at least one more season in college to develop themselves and their game.

    Some sick highlights tonight. The one handed catch and throw up there on that pass from Lou? Wow. That put back slam on the Clarkson miss? Monstrous.
