    I'm pointing out that it's abnormal, but that I agree with Billups.

    Complimented Nurk in the second half, pointed out some great defensive scheme we did, praised Dame, love for our bench.

    Rough night for you?

    That was a solid effort. It was nice to see some threes falling for Dame... we couldn't do anything about PG13 but dude didn't have anyone else on that team to help him. I didn't like how many open shots we gave up and they missed but overall it was a good enough game to get the W.

    Some of these bench players deserve confidence, just like seasons before.

    Nice win.

    PG and Kennard combined to go 21-39. The rest of their roster went 13-48. Not quite sure how to rate that as a defensive performance - but the stat that counts the most is the win!

    1000%... which is why I prefaced by saying "not saying it's a mistake".

    I had a great time watching an actual professional coach on our sidelines.

    You know your team is good when you play kinda crappy and still win by almost 20. This team is way better than last year.

    Yes, Stotts certainly operated with this mindset. Seemed irrational to me.

    That's awesome! hopefully you had a chance to catch some of the guys on the floor a well; they played great!

    Billups is a good coach, I'm a fan of his! Sorry if that doesn't fit into your narrative.

    Nance with only 16 minutes? What doesn’t Chauncey see that we all see about Nance? The game changes every time he comes in the game.
