Pop said Wemby is improving steadily.
“He’s playing aggressively, affecting the game in a lot of different ways. He’s blocking shots, he’s scoring, he’s a willing assist man, very unselfish passer. But he goes to the next play. He doesn’t worry about making a mistake…” – 10:48 PM

Some really good action from Julian Strawther here with Jokic. Had to work for that cut through the lane but caught the ball in traffic and laid it in.
Then he sets up Joker at 8 feet out of two-man game. Never a bad plan there. – 8:31 PM

That’s who the Bills are. A really talented team that is undisciplined and find ways to lose.
That’s typically on the coaching staff — and I like McDermott. He’ll need a playoff run to save his job. Which would have started with a win in Philly. – 8:28 PM
