Our starting bigs, Cousins (when he wasn't committing questionable fouls...) and Thompson were dominant in every sense of the word. If there was any question about who our second big next to Cousins should be, that was made crystal clear today (and in the last few games). Cousins was abusing the platinum blonde dude Stiemsma (who turned around and abused Hayes lol).

The traditional, non-three-guard line-up of Thomas, Thornton, Salmons, Thompson, and Cousins worked extremely well on both ends of the floor. Lovely not to see a ball-stopper like Evans ruin the flow of the offense much like Melo ruined the Knicks' flow in their 8 game losing streak. Also lovely to see Hayes play only 10 minutes and confirm he's terrible in person.

Actually, this is quite typical of young, but talented teams.

Look at OKC as they were coming up. Spectacular showings against top tier teams followed by complete flameouts against bottom feeders the next night - especially on the road.

All teams that are in a rebuild through drafting are going to take some serious lumps as they grow. It is a part of the process that teaches them how to close out games. How to win on the road without your crowd. How to not get lulled by the crappy lotto team that just traded one or two of their best players that night.

The fact that they not only match up with, but can BEAT top tier contenders shows the true talent level of this team as it can be.

In two years, they will be there. Be patient.
Great game, great atmosphere. Arco (I'm not going to call it Power Balance) was rockin. It's just still the oddest thing that we beat all of these top tier teams, and look convincing doing it, then turn around and get embarrassed by teams like the Warriors missing their two best players and the Pistons...Oh well, gotta enjoy this while it lasts. Outlaw stroking it! Honeycutt's first NBA points! Salmons playing decently! Go Kings!
