Still a win. Shooting can win.

There's this guy Malik on the other hand, not having any of that.

Honestly how good does it feel to win a game of basketball?

Wins feel more rare than ever this season. I don't think this will be our worst season ever but it seems like the losing streaks are just a lot bigger. Past bad seasons you would drop 2 or 3 and then get a win. This year it's like we have this mega win streaks, get one win and then go streaking again. Rough.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

This seasons started with promise and ended sooner than anyone was prepared for. The simple truth is wins feel good, but don’t help our tank. Beasley had been struggling off the dribble, then suddenly he is finishing and going 11-13. Hernangomez had been struggling at the rim, he fixed it by dunking. These are examples of little changes and improvements that give me hope for next season. That said, the Pelicans missed a ton of open shots late in the game. This should have been a loss. As good as we were, we need more weapons. KAT will help, but we need more guns in our arsenal.

With Hernangomez, it was a bit of a regression to the mean for him. A week ago I noticed how he was shooting a career-low percentage at the rim on a career-high percentage of shots at the rim.

Beastly is awesome

Williamsom is already great on offense, but his defense is questionable. Herni escaped him over and over again.


Dlo was -6 in his first stint with the starters, then a -6 stint with the bench and a -11 stint with the starters again to start the 2nd half. Then rounded up with a +9 in the final 8 minutes where he destroyed the Pelicans in the P&R either shooting, driving or finding the roll man. Nothing remarkable, just another day at the office.

Nice overall night for the Wolves. They get a win. Golden State gets a win. Nets get a win over the Celtics. :o The Wizards and Magic both lose.

The Wizards and Magic played each other and both lost. Both teams' wands were on load management.
