big time performance from RJ

Big W!!!

game ball goes to RJ, 21 big points on a night when Randle was off and Brunson was something like 2 for 12 after the 1st quarter/

love the bully ball from him after the early 3's.

I think the refs helped us a little in general tonight but we were definitely played harder too and maybe that buys a call or two at home. Ihart and Mitch were really active, Josh Hart is a relentless, and they made just enough shots. Nice to see Grimes have a good game.

Huge win. Just caught snatches on the phone. Science Olympiad qualifier for my daughter today.

Randle made some clutch buckets at the end RJ too. Didn't think we would get back into it when we were down 10. Feel good win.

That layup after Jokic almost stripped it was the biggest of the game.

RJ also looks a sharper on D lately.

Love to see Mitch get that oop to seal the game.

Once again Josh Hart showing he was exactly what this team needed and most of us didn’t even know it.

8 for 10 from 2...

last 3 games he's 28 for 39 from 2 point range. he might just have to accept he's not a shooter and limit his 3's.

but yea he's been playing better D lately as well, I wonder if Hart's arrival has put some pressure on him to defend, seeing the way Hart is just everywhere on the court on D,

i'll say it again i see many OPS for Grimes throughout the game... if he can calm down and read defenses better the ops are there for him to produce more. Hoping he has an IQ like breakout.

Shout out to Thibs. They went on the little run at the start of the 4th and I think a big part of it was that they came out blitzing pick and rolls. Its not something they normally do. It worked and I think it threw Denver off. he switched it up and did so doing something he really doesn’t like to do.

hard for me to give up on RJ TBH, hard to believe he still won't be 23 until end of season.

he's shown a big improvement finishing around the rim this year. he's scoring 20ppg on a contending team right now and has shot 45% over the last 50 games.

IQ is a better all around player right now, but he's never even averaged 20ppg in a month. if RJ is your 4th best guy thats not a bad thing.

and RJ just always plays... something to be said for that. 34mpg, 80 games every season.

Yea and I also don’t think he’s a guy you run off curl screens and stuff like that despite fans calling for that. He’s shown more ability to drive with the ball than he has to be a motion / off balance shooter.

I think we see him carve out more scoring around the rim and pull up 2s attacking close outs as he matures as a player. Not sure he will be that off ball motion guy.
