The 4 righties on PP1 just doesn’t look right and I can’t see it lasting. Loved what PP2 did. PK will be a work in progress replacing Val and Drury and it’ll help when LOC is back.
I was happy to see Nate go after Clarke and I hope they’re telling the world that they’re all done taking shots at Cale.
I almost hate to say it but Blackwood struggling with those point shots gave me some Georgiev vibes. Gotta clean that up

Great job, AJ.
