    Love seeing Shae and Scoot play so well! Even if it comes in a W. Maybe we’ll be a playoff team next season.

    Sounds like an ABBA parody mocking Lebron James

    Yeah I give him credit.

    I’ve never been one of the big Chauncey haters. I don’t think he’s an amazing coach but I’ve always blamed Cronin more

    When looking down at the race to the bottom you look at wins but when looking up you look at losses. We're still 3 games behind the Spurs in the standings and we have 5 more Ls than them.

    We're now going to be 5.5 games behind the Warriors and Kings for that last play-in spot. I don't think we'll keep winning at this clip but I also didn't think this team would ever have a stretch of games like they've had these past seven... so I guess like everything else we'll wait and see what happens.

    If we finish 41-41, he’ll get coach of the year votes. Atkinson will win though.

    Just when I didn’t think you couldnt get any dumber you go out and win 6 of 7 (sorry best impression of dumb and dumber) can’t get mad at wins like this when young guys are balling.

    We’ve found our identity and it’s based around Deni and Toumanis defense and hustle. Sucks missing out on a top pick in this years draft but building something for next year isn’t a bad consolation prize

    Chauncey absolutely deserves credit, and what would we blame Cronin for? He built a quality team in a very short period of time and on the rise.

    Ayton goes 10-12 and can't draw more than 2 fouls?

    All cylinders firing, including defense. Ayton, Scooter, Sharpe, Avjida in that order. Let's play Orlando more often. It's getting harder to fire Billups.

    This team looked checked out and even for someone like me that wants a high draft pick I didn't like what I was seeing. Chauncey has this team from top to bottom completely buying in. They are hustling, they are locked in on both ends of the court.

    Chauncey Billups has a team option for next season and I think it would be stupid for the team not to keep him around at least for one more year.
