I'm sure some people will explain why it wasn't.

Didn’t realize the Grizz were top 3 in the west…hmm....I have nothing to say other than great win.

First time in 60 years the Knicks score 140 points in back to back games? :o :o :o

Dominique: Boston shoots too many 3’s, and they basically suck. Okay the part after the comma is mine but Dominique did express concern about them playing so poorly due to their 3’s.

Did you watch it?

It was a truly great performance. Best total package of the season even with KAT hampered by the hand issues

On the basis of this game we should be able to win any game now as long as we keep the bench minutes up and our starters fresher


I had a lot of sh*t going on tonight, so only got to see late 1st quarter.

Once again, you can thank me for my service

Why is Memphis considered one of the better defenses in the league? What did I miss? I was also excited to see their offense after hearing about their new assistant coach's offense. I thought they were supposed to send waves of players at you with constant energy, movement, pace and just overwhelm you or something. They just looked sloppy at times.

What can you say about Kat. He's incredible!
Remember when people thought Kat was not an upgrade over Randle. Real talk there were reasonable people who legit thought that

In any case, if you can get a replay, it was that game that you'll truly enjoy watching back. It was really quality stuff.

Watching Randle 4th quarter, hilarious that we got KAT for him, don’t care about the money part — still hilarious

Still a lot to clean up but good to know we are heading in right direction.

Noticeable changes
-Mikal with ball more in hands
-started playing with more energy on this streak after getting boo’d out the garden.
-Thibs finally started subbing at 5 minute mark in first quarter and trusting bench.
-less complaining even though it seems like we still complain a lot.
-staying infront of guys and letting them feel us on the bump.
-better 3 point contest
-OG aggression on both ends
-we ran more this year but seems to be more of a focus

Changes I want to see
-Get Towns more touches esp with bench. Get him easier shots.
-get some offensive sets when read the game doesn’t get clean looks.
-more Kat/Brunson pick and roll
-stop sending doubles so quickly
-less drop
-Towns more intimidation in paint
-it’s ok to situational sub doesn’t have to be template
-can I get a down screen for our elite finishers?

He point blank threw it away, then took a wild runner, then they took him out before they choked away the lead

I noted specifically in the game thread that when they were cooking in the first quarter that almost every sequence the ball touched Bridges and he often got an assist or the hockey assist.

It is pretty clear that when he is a core part of the offensive sets he makes good decisions and we end up with good shot opportunities.

I believe the griz count as a quality team although you can't tell by this thrashing


This was a much bigger win than SAC

With a better rotation I'll ease off the Thibs hate, because I've been a believer in our talent all along

Same. All we wanted was for him not to grind out the starters and he did that tonight along with developing 2 rookies. I have no quarrels with him in this game other than what took so long. Now Let's see it last.

The FO may have crapped the bed there. They could have locked him up on a reasonable deal, but he could walk to the highest bidder next season

Some of the little passes KAT throws are so special

He did this little pitch ahead off a rebound that may have been missed but ignited a fast break

Had he had faster feet, little more agility, he’d be among the very best ever, because he’d also be a beast defensively … and we’d never have gotten him

As it is I think he’s championship caliber and still many years to go

Also if he was more agile, he’d maybe lose some of the strength that batters teams inside
