Unbelievable how important he was tonight. So happy for him.

He was +18 tonight. Happens once every 8 games or so
Was a combined Chad Flip/Young game. Throwback to early in the 2022-23 season before Lively came on.
+18 in a Houston game is like +29 in a regular game
Was better than Mitchell in every facet tonight
We needed him tonight after that Mitchell performance, and most of the game Procter performance.
Wut…Tyrese was phenomenal on the defensive end and hit that one big shot at the elbow with time running out on the shot clock.
The two enormous steals too! But honestly Tyrese's shot in the first half was huge, too.
Unless I'm missing something, Tyrese had multiple instances throughout the game with either boneheaded plays or simply no execution. It wasn't until the final 4 minutes or so when he finally stepped up. At one point he was 2-7 from the field, and could not hit an open 3.
TBF, I wasn't watching as much of his defense as his offense. He had some big stops at the end from what I remember.

Switching Tyrese onto Cryer for the second half was one of the biggest moves of the game
My fucking MAN.
Amazing how much my subjective appreciation him has gone up over the past few months. Wish we could somehow get another year out of him.

The one thing I always appreciate about Ryan is that he plays his ass off. He's not the most talented player but he definitely gives 100% effort every game. Did exactly what you'd hope a senior leader could provide in a situation like last night. He battled, he played physical and I really feel like was a calming presence on both ends even if the box score doesn't jump out at you. He played a great game in a situation where Duke needed someone on the front court to step up to the challenge. Well deserved props for him.
Thought he was excellent. The kind of player who is quite aware of his weaknesses and mitigates them as best he can. We needed physicality inside and he brought it. Hope he can do it again vs Burns.
He's so matchup dependent. But when the matchup favors him, he's awesome.
