    Now TBpup, was that meant as a dig at the haters? If so, sorry.

    Didn't think I needed green font. Apparently, that was an incorrect assumption.... :breakdance:

    Glad they held on to the win. Up 18 with 10:33 to go, I thought it would be easier than that.

    Starters played well together. Minimum +/- for those five was +16

    I alwaxs expect the other team to make a run. But when Dame, CJ and Nurk hit 20.... we got a good shot to win.

    Has anyone made a GIF yet of Gallinari failing fantastically to alley oop to himself? That was classic.

    The Blazers have only won 2 games in a row, but still went from 9th to 5th by doing so.

    I liked seeing Nurk have an efficient night from the floor 8 for 12. Along with his great ball distribution, this is the kind of offense we need from him.

    If things don't change a two game losing streak in the last month of the season could take you from home court to the lottery.

    ...25+ assists in back to back games and two wins to show for it is always a good sign -- is this the recipe for the cake that is still baking?! :dunno:

    I love it that way. No reason to tank. You get a full season "in the hunt" for the playoffs and in the end you either make it or get in the lottery. An ideal situation would have the bottom 8 in the fight until the end.

    The starting five +/-
    +21
    +16
    +17
    +16
    +18

    The bench +/-
    -14
    -12
    -12
    -16
    -14


    Seems uneven

    I know we want to get a little more out of our bench but the bench should have a considerably lower plus/minus than our starters.

    good win, but the bench and the defense still worry me a lot. that just does not convince me, starting 5 is very good, i bet they have an incredible net rating, but bench sucks

    Perhaps the best passing game of Aminu's career. There were a couple of early gems and another in the 3rd quarter.

    WE weathered the storm.
    Nice win...Plenty of points. Our big three proved their awesome title. Even Mo played a good well rounded game.
    Now, lets get the third win. 100_0347.JPG

    Man, Tobias Harris would be absolutely perfect here. If only Jabari Parker gave a shit-- I think he has a very similar game, but Parker clearly doesn't have Tobias' drive.
