    Think that’s three straight in Toronto (with one in Tampa).

    The way we handle pressure is just comical

    If they just blitzed like this from the beginning they probably could have won the game

    hard to do that for an entire game. burns a lot of energy.

    also not sustainable cuz they'd get in foul trouble. (although the refs let em get away with it tonight)

    They would not have to. They wouldn’t have been down 20 in the first quarter.

    I was hoping for 3-3. 4-2 is incredible. And one of the games was without Simons.

    Good to see them hold off a strong push.
    Glad they held on to that lead.

    Lot of winnable games ahead too. The tank may be dead.

    Well we gave up 71 points that 2nd half and we had 22 turnovers for the game our 2 starting guards had 11 of them. Now good news we won the game Nurk and CJ double double and Simons hit 2 clutch 3 at the end. Hopefully this lesson to them you can't start coasting and the game just because you got a big league.

    Maybe you should see what teams passed up on him and drafted someone who isn’t working out?
