Still issues, and you won't outshoot GSW that much. But tonight?

Also Nick Young and Cam Payne have the same hair stylist.

Possibly the most complete game I've ever seen from Russ.

Greatest time possible for all 3 of our guys to rock up for the same game.

**** the warriors, **** the snake, this may just be one regular season game in november, but it feels good.

So much better, Russ clearly saw the Lowe post. I'm still not sold on Donovan though but tonight was an improvement, would love it if Melo's teammates would call him out whenever he ISO's

GOATbrook was too good. Smart, calm and gave it all. Honorable mention to PG13 and Melo was great during first half

Double win tonight. We beat the Warriors and Cupcake showed how pathetic he's :)

Maybe not the most amazing offensive game, but it's proof that we'll be at our best when Russ is Russ.

Of course. When most of us had more-or-less quit on them, they come out and destroy the Warriors.

I decided to go as "off the grid" as possible tonight. We're on Thanksgiving break so my wife and I went to my in-laws where I drank quite a bit of beer in three hours to keep my mind off the game. Then we left at about 7:30 so we could back home and put our 16-month old down for bed. I got home around 8 o'clock and when I checked the score at 8:15 we were up by 17 at the half. I still assumed we'd lose because we blow 20ish point leads like they're going out of style. I check again about 20ish minutes later and we're up by 23 at the end of the 3rd quarter. I assumed we'd still lose.

So, yeah, how did we not only manage to build a big first half lead but also maintain it the rest of the game against the best team in the NBA?

I mean we just blew a 20 point lead to the bleeping Pelicans. We blew a 23 point lead to the Kawhi Leonard-less Spurs. So how did we manage to finally maintain an early big lead through four quarters against the best team in the NBA and reigning champs?

You do realize he just doesn't go ISO for S*** and Giggles. Those ISOs are called from the bench. Why would players get on another player for running a play called by the coach. Not like he is breaking plays and going ISO. They are called sets

Ignoring cupcake was the best thing we could have done. He was so pissed that he had to come after WB. That sequence was GOLD.

I need a replay.

Does someone have a link to a replay of the game?

The one thing I liked is that dononvan was quick to call timeouts when we had a couple shaky possession. Even if the players had to console Billy during the timeout, it stopped the warriors from building momentum.

You do know his ISO’s worked and that’s part of the reason they won, correct? They have three supreme offensive players that can execute in the half court. That plus elite defense is why they are a perfect matchup for the warriors as well as the Cavs were when they beat them in the finals.

After the NOP loss, a lot of the podcasts all had the same focus for the troubles - Russ not being Russ.

He was tonight and OKC just blew out the world champs.

If this version shows up the rest of the season, the laser who is just an unstoppable force, this team could take off.
