The removal of the head band was a career changing move by Frank

I needed this win tonight -- I didn't want to go into Thanksgiving pissed off.

I will gladly vote for hammers for once. Even if it will be tough this time, in a very good way.

Cho batted .500 on 2nd round picks in a 7 year career, which seems incredible until you realize he was only allowed two 2nd round picks in his entire career.

That was a narrative busting game, love it. Bacon looks great. Monk looks usable. Cody played well. Marv started hitting shots. Lamb had a nice Peja Stojakovic impression. Batum hit some shots. We actually got over .500.

All around solid game.

I love how this offense is coming together, not sure if it was just a savant like performance or IND played unusually bad, but the tempo was solid and guys looked like they knew where to be on the floor. Love how Kemba called out guys when they weren't in right spot or didn't take a shot they needed to in the first half.

Just a very encouraging game.

Back-to-back solid wins. Almost everyone played well tonight.

It's nice to see Frank deliver when called upon. And let's hope Marv doesn't have a concussion.

A guy like Frank is really a luxury as a 3rd or 4th center. He's not worth any kind of significant investment or anything but as an end of the bench big he's not bad at all.

Really clicked on all cylinders tonight. Can't believe how well everybody was shooting and moving the ball. Really surprising b/c Indiana is touted as a really physical team and Cody and even Frank held their own. The whole team feels indefensible when those threes are going in b/c it opens up the floor for Lamb, Bacon, Marv and Batum to drive.

God I would trade Zeller for Sabonis in a heartbeat though.

I think Indiana's pace, as an announcer said during the game, is not a fast-paced team by any means....I def think that played into our hands nicely.

I do think it's interesting too that a lot of the players mentioned to be potentially moved out in a trade (Batum/Monk/Bacon/Lamb/etc.) all had incredible games tonight.

Watching House of Highlights, it was clear that as Kemba got the ball he was doubled and they just left our other players wide open, and our other players finally made them pay

Bacon has really impressed me this year, even before this game. I didn't even expect him to be a rotation worthy player this year, but he's looked great in limited minutes. I really hope he can keep this up because he makes other depth pieces more expendable if we wanted to make a move.

Bacon looked good to start last season when Batum was out injured and the team was actually playing well. Then Batum came back, we never saw Bacon again, and the season fell apart. Thanks Cliff!!
