This was our first trip, but I'm confident we'll be back. And Kofi is huge in any country, but especially so in Japan.
I was in Tokyo 10 years ago for 5 days and there was an earthquake every day. There was a really big one when I was at the Chiba Lotte Marine baseball stadium. Did you have any while you were there?

Luckily, no…everything is so vertical there.

yeah but not remotely convinced Finch knows how to develop young talent while balancing winning now (though i get that is a tough order for any coach)
Finch's only job is to win. TSJ is ninth in average minutes played and I don't see that rising significantly, His skill set isn't special, but he is young and brings energy. It is awesome he is on a roster and I hope i'm wrong about his ability to contribute.

Ayo has been incredibly efficient this year. TSJ been struggling of late, needs a good game soon.

Great to see KJ start to shine. Now we just need Will!

I love tuning into games just to watch our guys, hoping for more of it over the next decade

Go Illini

will Riley had 8 points as well. tsj really needs to show what he had at the end of last year when ant was out. his opportunities will be limited because he's on a good team

Good to hear about Will! Last I checked he was on the G league team but I admit I didn’t look before I posted

Agreed on TSJ. He can’t play 10 minutes and have 0 points, rebs and assists…

Sure.

Do you mean win today? Or this season? Or in the playoffs? Or over the next five years?

They came into last year with high expectations and fell short. A reasonable argument can be made that he didn't use his bench well throughout the season and that cost them in the playoffs.

They made it to the conference finals and lost to the best team in the NBA last year. Not many people thought they would do better.

Well TSJ will have to wait a couple of weeks to show what he’s got. He’s out with an abductor hallucis strain in his left foot. Bummer for him.

Is that the same foot he hurt about a month ago
