Takeaways

  • Where is the sense of urgency from this team when we fall behind?
  • With BI and Zion on the floor, how did we get out-rebounded 52 to 35???
  • CJ McCollum is out for quite a while with a partially collapsed lung so that's going to hurt
  • Matt Ryan needs to be a starter
  • Jordan Hawkins is progressing nicely as a rookie
