Outstanding effort and comeback. Hell of a win today. Nothing but compliments.

Clowney is best overall player right now. Does everything well.

I've said this before and I'll say it again...even though he's only a freshman Jaden Bradley is fearless.

When we got down by 15, Nate Oats did some lineup changes going small with more quickness and better shooters. What a hell of a comeback!

My thoughts exactly. Clowney is leading us right now.

Bradley is my favorite of our 3 point guards. I’ve been saying that all season long. He may be a freshman, but he plays like a veteran. 0 turnovers today against that team in that environment. He was outstanding.

Yes sir, he brought in 4 new players at one time and they stopped the game from being a runaway. We chipped away from that point on after being down by 15, l think when he made that move.

I think this was the best we have seen CNS coach in a game.

Quinnerly’s minutes need to be limited moving forward. Too many turnovers and dribbling into traffic with no results.

He is the rebounder we have haven’t had since Erwin Dudley.

Fearlessness isn't what makes him better than others. Darius Miles is fearless but turns the ball over too much. Same for Noah Gurley and JQ. He has something more. His fearlessness is great, but he also does it while protecting the ball and dishing it when the circumstance calls for it. You would think the other guys mentioned would possess those traits because they are veterans but it's the other way around. Sears is also an upgrade from what we have had in the past. I'm glad they chose to play here.
