At this point it might be more enjoyable just watching the games with the assumption that we’re just a second round team at best. And hope for some new coaching next year.


Don't disagree with your overall point but this team is second in the West


Third actually and dropping while the Lakers are surging

The Grizzlies are not likely to be contenders. Until we can be even a little bit competitive against OKC, CAV and BOS we're a mid-level team at best


They were 2nd until we just beat them

And the team that passed them was Denver who we are also 2-0 against

Screw Thibs. Deuce the only guy who shot well. He makes two shots in a row and is making plays and comes out with 3 to go lol

Just stupid … win hides it


Nah that's the beauty of it. We win versus a team that's almost is as good (not not quite :D ) and almost always dominates at home.

We do it without shooting particularly well from three.....

We do it with ...DEFENSE!

Were blessed to have Brunson.


He’s really clutch


Honestly at this point if the game is close I expect us to win cause of him. He is as reliable as my old 90s Honda civic.

Oh I was gonna say apparently the grizzlies forgot that when Mitch has the ball down low you’re supposed to foul him. And he made 2 buckets in the post. Maybe he wasn’t on their scouting report since it’s his first game :lol:

But there is just a calmness about him when crunch time comes he is unstoppable.

Damn our captain was coasting and then become the superhero once again in clutch time. This is his load management. :lol:

Right and they are 5-5 in their last 10 games while the Lakers are 8-2 and coming for their seed position.

Denver is the only team that could contend that we have matched up well against.

The Knicks will go on a 9 game win streak, I saw this part of the schedule way back when.
They will give us hope, again, until we play Boston at the end of the 9 games

That 8-second violation of Morant stopped by Mikal worths 5.5 1st round picks.

And again ouR troll is nowhere to be seen in our win.

Clutch play all around. Big buckets from Brunson and OG. And Mikal played clutch defense with the 8 sec violation and last play

Boston and Cavs both shot 100 threes and each made 40%

It’s stupid and not basketball

The problem is he always takes it up quick and strong. So if you foul him it's almost always and1 potential

Need to keep him in the starting lineup for that reason but Josh Hart has to be moved out the starting lineup. Keeps passing up open looks, forces turnovers and he’s usually getting cooked on defense.

I think eventually Thibs will work Robinson into the starting lineup and KAT moves to the 4 and Hart off the bench. Will be interesting to see how that looks like


tell me you disagreed with keeping Hart in late over Mcbride....please admit that. We need this!!!!


You wanted Deuce to play 18 straight minutes? He was in the game from midway into the 3rd quarter and at one point in the 4th he and Hart were on the floor together while OG got a break. So you were ok with Hart not returning back in the game at all and Deuce playing 18 straight minutes with possible overtime with how close the game was? That’s interesting now
