    Yet, he only took six shots and played good D. Better than the other CJ going 8 for 20 and playing a sieve on defense.

    Well, we are just straight-up terrible at losing. That sidestep 3 by Simons was the dagger. Great performance by the whole team.

    Just a super impressive win. For the record, we beat the #3 team in both the East and the West this week. That's hella fucking impressive.

    That's a meaningful win. Fourth in a row and against a really good team with all of their guys available. Should be fun to see what we can do after the all star break and with the last 23 games of the season. It would really be something for these guys to get back to .500.

    Getting playoff experience a year early for some of these guys wouldn’t be a bad thing.

    I'm reminded of Joc Pederson on my Braves going into the playoffs...We might just be those motherfuckers!

    No, I don't actually think we are, and I get the issues of needing a pick, but it is fun to see these wins
