He just forced a TO and was great on the Smith drive on defense. His opportunities offensively are coming in 5 minute intervals other than in transition. He's so much better in motion than in isolation.

Green's the one who's been invisible again on both ends again.

feels weird to admit it but I'd be disappointed if we traded KCP

Rondo and KCP playing well.... That steal by Rondo was special.

I actually want KCP to stay on this team. He's really turned it around. Great to see.

He's not getting traded.... he's Bron's guy and he's got the NTC so why would he waive that?

If anyone gets traded it's Kuzma and probably the rookies.

Caruso has been in a slump ever since he got elbowed in the face

Randle really hasn't progressed much in the BBIQ department.

Somebody tell AD that he's a freak of nature and shouldn't take mid range and fall away mid range killers

That drives me nuts too.... that and Bron's 30 step back 3's early in the clock.

We're trying to give this away.... a fade away jumper by Davis... a flat out chuck by Bron and now this dumb foul by Caruso.

Kuz was flat out shoved while in the air.... that could have ended bad.

That was comical. If I’m in him though it’s irritating as **** with the red ignoring it after calling the push before the inbounds on the other end

Better effort in the second half. Again we won this one with defense. Bron wasn't great and Davis isn't all the way back and we still won over a pretty poor NY team.

Green was basically a no-show again and we didn't get a lot out of Bradley either. Rondo and KCP picked up the slack. Kuz didn't get a lot of opportunities offensively but got 7 boards and was playing some good defense again.

On the plus side... the Hobo Squaters are going to lose in the ATL...

0 for 15 from the field in his last 4 games. Can’t buy a bucket.

Zion looking like when the construction workers take over the court after work...

Victory!

This team still looks like its in a funk. They'll need to get out of soon. Tomorrow it's the Nets and a couple of tough ones after that, the 76ers and then the Clippers.

Ugly win but I'll take it.

I have wanted him traded because of his previously inflated pay, and inconsistency both in focus and performance.

Lately, he’s consistent on both ends. He’s sustaining it. His current contract is a very good value so no gripe there anymore. He and DH have found a really good rhythm on the p n r.

As long as he stays consistent.
