I missed the first half. Seems to be much different in the 2nd half.

Silver talked about it today, I believe. Rules changes made in the summer made changes he had hoped for by upping scores and offensive production.

I've been using the same formula for years. 80 or 90 has been normal with some 100s and only rarely more. not this year.

Ran the same Bojan slip screen play that led to the Collision jumper with 20 secs left that we ran against the Knicks.

First quarter was ugly until all the starters got benched

Wendell Carter basically had his way in the post

I didn't manage to catch this one. Looks like it was a close one. Still, many of our wins from last year were those close ones. Glad to see them still making sure to pull them off.

starters may have come out slow, but they finished strong.

Eight year olds shouldn't be up this late.

If Silver gets postcards after every game you guys lose this year, he's going to be really busy reading his mail.

Yeah. Vic gave the bench props in his post game interview and said specifically that he and the starters came out flat and the bench saved them.

Did anyone else notice when DC hit that late jumper to take the lead back, Evans smacked him on the back of the head/neck pretty aggressively? Then shortly thereafter two of the others players returned the favor to Evans. Seemed a little odd to me, not a particularly friendly gesture.

I ask because it almost seems like there was more to that Evans suspension, that maybe he's the odd man out in the group. While Lance was a pain at times, it seemed like he was well liked by the group.
