I love how everyone kept fighting even after what seemed like a hopeless start. Overall I think the team played well after that.

If Melo can get going it will be a big help. He'd have a fat stat line if he wasn't bricking everything. He shot 1-7 for 2pt but otherwise has 6ast and 8reb.

Refs broke JB.

Coach James Borrego, love him or hate him, he's the coach we need. Period.

Monk has been making some passes. Devonte also taking good shots. Glad JB made the adjustment to bring Monk in earlier instead of Martin. Just play your weapons and believe in McDaniels defense!

You know...the more our original team comes back, the more I love how our team is constructed. We're still missing Hayward and Miles, but man, if we trade Washington for a good Center and a draft pick in the offseason or develop Carey...man!

I was finishing my dinner and missed JB getting tossed

Millsap showing his best Biyombo impression.

I really hope McDaniels can add an additional 15-20 pounds during the offseason. That alone could dramatically change the direction of the team.

Captain obvious - Devonte' Graham is 1000 x better than Brad Wannamaker

Wait...Graham is playing with speed right now? I like this Graham. Lol

Nice fight but the team is not talented enough with Hayward and miles out while ball and monk are still working back into form after injury

Graham is on fire!

Highlight of the game was the perfect lob LaMelo threw Biz on the fastbreak only for Biz to crap himself trying to catch a pass in midair

That was just a weird game. JB tossed. Graham going nuclear. Short Spanish guy playing the MVP role down the stretch. Felt like we were constantly complaining about the refs, and honestly I didn't think they did that bad of a job.

Glad we kept it competitive, was fun to watch but also just felt odd.

Definitely put up a heck of a fight in the 2nd Q and at the end there...very hard to overcome the horrendous start (gotta stop with the Biz and Caleb nonsense), as well as baaaad shooting nights from Melo and PJ (PJ shot ZERO FOR NINE from 3).

How about Jalen McDaniels...he's just a high quality role player that has seriously held it down through all of our injuries. Very very nice to have him on our team going forward. The fact that JB has had the Martins over him in the depth chart for so long is atrocious...

Zeller was making things happen, and competing with Jokic much more than Biz was it seemed. Sucks to say, but we really can't bring Biz back next year just so we can prevent JB from playing him. He's such a god damn liability and it still amazes me how consistently bad he is at catching a basketball.

Looking more and more like we'll fall in the 9-10 range with Indiana beating the 76ers and the Wizards coming on super strong to end the regular season (although Beal hurting his hamstring could slow them down a bit, he's being re-evaluated on Friday). Might be wild if the last game of the regular season against the Wizards determines the difference. Would also really suck if we go into the play-in losing 5 in a row. Man we miss Miles.

Hayward just gonna be done for the season eh? Definitely what it looks like. We need him to be productive for us for the next few years so I guess we should just make sure he's healthy for 2021-2022...trying to get re-aclimated to NBA-game-speed basketball in a one game winner-take-all seems like a big ask.

LaMelo was awful. Was forcing the issue and looking really disengaged for most of the game.

PJ can't score in paint, even though he had double the size of Rivers and Campazzo who were "guarding him" in the paint 90% of the time in the 1st half. I wish he was as quick to work over mismatches in the paint as he is to jack up 3PA's. PJ was very good on D though.

I don't understand why McD was used so little. He really seemed to have it going and impacting the game in a positive way for us.

Biz is so bad. Even when he is good, he is bad.

Del said it: We REALLY missed Tae over the past week.

Monk seems a shell of himself after having that very short purple patch all the way back in Feb (or whenever it was).

How good is Jokic? That guy processes things just so damn fast that it's almost unfair. And while he might be a bit of a big lumbering dude his hands are just soooooooooo quick.

And while he shot the ball well, I'm still not buying the Porter Jr hype. I think he is very overrated.

And of all the times for JB to get tossed, he gets tossed on a call that was very obviously the right one?
