In terms of depth maybe. There's still the 03 team. We are deeper than SSOL.

We had 48 wins that year, and that was a failed attpt yo tank by McD

48 wins. That was Horncek and McD's first season.

We just focus on what we can control, like in the Bubble.

It was a joke.

Also, I'm 40. I'm old. Dexter premiered in 2006. I finished high school in 2005... when I was 24, thank yoU!

Phil Jackson's rule of thumb for a real contender, 40 wins before 20 loses. We are 1 game away!

Back when I first joined, game threads would be like.... 50+ pages. Until Nash got sent off, anyway.

I dont see this game as ugly at all. Actually enjoyed it way more than last game. We did so many different things to get this win, and Ayton dominated.

Utah already did us a favor by losing to Washington, would be a bit much to ask for them to lose to the OKC Hinkies as well lol.

The ability to go that deep is going to be HUGE in terms of rest and matchups.

Maybe Craig but yeah, it'll be hard to keep a versatile and dynamic player like Craig off the floor even if it's spot minutes.


Out of that list? I'd say Saric if we can afford to go "small". I'd rather play Carter if he can hit his shots as his defense can be huge against little guys like Dame, Mitchell and Steph.

This game was nasty.

CP3 and Book shot 6/23 from the floor and we won EASILY against the current Eastern Champ in a second night of a back-to-back????

I mean... James Jones is the Executive of the Year.

Cam Payne is a great backup PG, Craig is a better addition than any available C who does not know really how to pass/shoot, Saric is on a nice contract as one of the best backup Cs in the league...James Jones envisioned all of that and everything is working PERFECTLY.

Ayton played a MONSTER game.

We are so good than sometimes I lose interest in the game. True. :lol:

MAybe a foul, maybe. It a flagrant in any level. Totally unintentional contact. Carter’s feet were under him.

The bench crew was at 20 +/- and Frank, Gallo and Moore didn't even play. Nice job JJ.
