CJ is looking solid. Maybe we should waive Dekker and sign both him and Wallace.

Wow, Doc is actually making some good coaching decisions for once, like playing DJ with Harrell. He really does want that Knicks job badly.

Not signing Ty Wallace looks dumber by the game. Barely anyone on this team plays any defense at all and it shows. Ty did, though.

It's weird how few minutes Austin is getting so far with the Knicks' front office watching from the stands. It's almost like Doc doesn't want to hurt his chances at getting the Knicks job by showcasing the nepotism.

Nice start to the second half! Even Austin is contributing and making shots now.

No Bruce Bowen tonight. Anyone know why?

The last time he missed a telecast, which I think was last week, he was coaching a youth-league basketball team, so I'm guessing that's why he's missing tonight.

Corey Maggette filled in for him last time. Tonight, it's Don MacLean.

It's time to #FreeBoban.

Not the toughest opponent, but it was still nice to see the guys take care of business in the second half. Also cool that Boban got a chance to impress the home crowd. DJ finally woke up. Trez is simply a beast at hustle and finishing.
This was the first of many must-win games in the next two weeks. Let's keep this up!

P.S. Things are not great in Detroit right now.
P.P.S. Of course Gallo's hand injury was upgraded from "bruised, day-to-day" to "broken, we'll check again in two weeks".

How good to see the usual critics actually take an interest in the game thread! Usually they wait to pick over the bones of a loss.

Austin Rivers--19 points in 28 minutes, 5-7 on 3-pointers, A TEAM-LEADING +28.

And in the postgame interview, DJ [19 pts, 20 rebs] admits to stepping up his intensity [admitting that its been down], crediting Doc.

The usual critics will now repent. We shall not rub it in. Promise. Come clean, bros. All is forgiven.

Austin had one good half of basketball against one of the worst teams in the league. Big whoop.

very witty
"Bobbsey Twins"
"stooge"

infantile but witty

and yes, Austin's team-leading +28 is a big whoop

can we talk about the game, or are y'all seeking to bully your way back into control of the board again?

WE WON
it was great

can we talk about the Clippers?

Just because we're not agreeing with your pro-Rivers-at-all-times crusade doesn't mean we're not talking about the Clippers.
