Everyone's great.

Random note for Kyrie being pretty great at giving the ball up and trusting guys to make the right play.

When the 3 is falling they win and vice versa...but the problem is there's no consistency ,one game they Look like world beaters and then the next like a g-league Squad....good game but not really impressed,since we've seen this before and we've seen what they follow it up with...they need to become more consistent,show this in every game and not take nights off

Also,the game ain't over ter... let's see some D

What a play call by Kidd to foul Zion, great win, no idea how they did it, Tim and Kai went crazy...

Team always surprises. Win the hard ones, lose the easy ones.

Great game though! Wow

What a strange game :lol:

Kyrie and freaking THJ both with 40pt games... Lively 12 rebs but 7 of those were OREB's. Green playing another great all around game, Grant coming up huge with stops and big plays with 7 assists and even Maxi with good defense coming back from injury. And even Kidd did some good coaching in the clutch.

Incredible win at the end.

Hardaway and Irvings scoring was super but the offensive rebounds and energy of Lively in the 4th was huge momentum wise.

Good win,but this doesn't change anything...the Players are still too streaky/incosistent and they have too many guards...someone needs to get traded...there are reports Hornets want Josh(maybe some other team too) ,if you can get a pick and an expirings or someone else who's be valuable from a third team ,you need to pull the trigger

Insane energy.

Kidd is right. "He's just the coach". He doesn't tell them to miss shots or not jump as high as they did today.

More seriously... I am still baffled with that intentional foul on Zion... which worked out well. Will be curious to know if it truly was intentional or a mental mistake.

It's a great like. Exactly like the Knicks win. But it's unreasonable to expect these players to have this energy every night. We need Luka's fatass back. At least he wasn't eating pop corn today.

At the end of the game both Luka and Dante were walking pretty good ,a real good sign.

Timmie & Kai vs everyone, they were something else tonight. Lively rebounding was also instrumental.

I'd say definitely intentional. That's a pretty standard move at least here in exYu basketball. You foul a poor shooter, if he misses, you remain in the lead, if he hits, it's a tie and you have the ball. Otherwise they could hit a three and you'd restart with less time remaining and down a point.

Never give the ball to a poor ft shooter in a situation like this though...

There are coaches in Europe (David Blatt who coached in the NBA does it) who foul up 2 to not risk 3 pt play and have control, I don't think this was Kidd aim, either he gambled on Zion being bad FT shooter or thought he had foul left.
