@TheWestWolfPod: "That Russell Westbrook/ Jokic PnR is unguardable. They have to mess it up themselves for it not to work. Found Braun off of a cut that time."

@mocity_madness: "If the Pistons didn’t let Westbrook dictate that 3rd quarter I feel like it would’ve been a lot better of a finish. I didn’t expect them to win, but wanted them to be competitive. They were for the most part. 3 out of 4 on the west coast is commendable"

@pw_phil88: "If Westbrook doesn’t get in their heads I thinks it’s a different outcome. Love the fight i saw from the bench guys to somewhat come back. Can’t complain about a 3-1 west coast trip. Beat Orlando"
