    I was wondering the same thing. I haven't watched Brooklyn at all, so I'm curious as well.

    Heck yeah, Nic was consistently great all night. He's not the hero we deserved, but the one we needed.

    No, they've blown a lot of leads and played some sloppy ball in the 4th a few times this year. Against the Celtics they had 9 turnovers in the 4th.

    Maybe he's saving himself, but it wouldn't be shocking if Father Time finally got him in a choke-hold.

    I should add that with the way teams are already tanking I would be surprised if the Raps have a top-5 pick. They just aren't awful enough, yet. Ujiri needs to blow up the debris and then blow up the crater for us to lose 60 more games.

    Alright, getting kicked out of the building. I'll try to find somewhere else for a Forensic Fan post. If not, manana!

    How about some love for Olshey? He's pretty much turned the team around in two seasons.

    I won't deny the last two games have been horrible.

    But a few means more than 2, and the only other game I can remember us being really bad in the 4th was against Phoenix, and we were just bad all game, and still won.

    That's the whole thing. If we can fix them early in the year, and still be winning this ugly games... it makes it a lot better down the road. So, I'm not too worried. -yet-

    That was their one good quarter where they actually ran offensive sets and executed.

    Well - one good play, where the sea parted for Lillard. lol.

    I was so frustrated that whole game listening to it, so I could have just enveloped it all into one.

    They managed to score 28 in that quarter. I wasn't talking about one wide open pick and roll.
