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

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
