At least Justise paid off the confidence in him. In the past, I’ve actually thought Justise hasn’t been as bad as a lot of fans make out him to be. I’ve always thought there are plenty of guys that are meaningful contributors in the league without being able to shoot, and Justise has all the other tools even if his jumpshot is broken. But tonight when he was checking in I thought to myself, how does Ibaka still not play the 4, and if you’re going to go small, wouldn’t those minutes be better spent at least getting Keon some experience? Still glad to see Justise play some solid basketball.

This win was different from the other “ugly” wins in that the shots were actually falling tonight. It was a close game, but not an “ugly” win. Crazy attempted comeback by Orlando, who I think were down 5 with under a minute, and somehow tied the game. This one really would’ve hurt to lose, so thank god for Reggie’s big balls.

Knew this one was gonna be tough, but a win is a win is a win – especially w/o PG13 and Batum, and also considering this was an early start game.
