Rookie Shaedon Sharpe is one of the best in-game dunkers I’ve ever seen. He was in the dunk contest but declined in order to focus on getting ready for second half of the season. First off, that’s mind blowing. Secondly, we were robbed. He woulda put on an old-school show.

This gonna be controversial but I think tonight is a perfect example of Luka & Trae. A bad night for Luka is 27-7-7 & 6 TOs, 1-of-7 deep & a win. Trae bad night is 3-of-12, 0-of-8 3s with 9 points, 3 dimes, 4 TOs in a loss. This is what's different about them. For now...
