I'll take it. 9-1 since the IST.

Good third quarter.

Got away with that one. Hopefully we learn the right lessons....

The most wins Dame has had in a season is 54. I think he beats that this season.

Giannis continues to be reliable on FTs of late

A tad lethargic in the fourth but it’s nice having a player like Dame who can get to the line when you need some points.

Please hold while my rationalizations about how much the refs helped us boot up

This makes up for the Zarba Knicks game.

All three of our best players knew their role tonight. Good job in the 2nd half.

We are a struggle to watch at times but we just keep winning. That’s important

I have to admit, we got the rub of the green from the refs tonight, especially down the stretch.

I'm glad we won but I just can't help but be underwhelmed when we outshot them 41%-14% from 3 & they were without Garland & Mobley. But hey an ugly win is better than a pretty loss

I like that Strus had so many shots, and that while Allen and Mitchell scored heavily, keeping Niang, Strus and Levert down means they were forced to do a lot more. I feel like our past D gives one of those guys a 15 point outing from deep.

Just when you ready to count this team out they flip the script and Win.

2nd Best record in the East
3rd Best W/L in the League

One other thing I'll say is running basically a 7.5 man rotation in a regular season game is certainly a choice

ShootingtheJ · Post #17 » by **ShootingtheJ** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 3:04 am

We made some tweaks in the 2nd half, stopped throwing the ball away for awhile, went without a backup PG, and got the win. Giannis is a monster. We don't win without his playmaking.

Tip of the cap to Craig Porter Jr. He's a hooper.

Matches Malone · Post #18 » by **Matches Malone** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 3:04 am

The defense continues to be a dumpster fire but the offense produces in bunches and is carrying us to wins, so I guess we'll just have to see how far it can take us.

Agree. Teams can no longer beat us with outlier games.

Griff wisely stopped giving Cam Payne minutes, our turnovers went down we got some steals and won the game. Oh and Jarret Allen abused Brook.
