I guess Atlanta was in the strip clubs, no effort tonight.

It's nice to see our veterans actually come through and keep us in a game when the young guys don't have it.

At least, the bench is dominating tonight ! It feels good to have the bench not ruining the lead or being dominated, hope it will continue like this, don't know if it's McMillan effect, or just the return of Bogi, but it's a good thing

Spoke to soon, just glad things didn't get out of hand. It doesn't take much.

That coaching change has made such a huge difference. This team likely would have folded as soon as they fell behind with Lloyd on the bench.

The Athletic reported that management considered a coaching change last summer. I wonder how we’d have managed with a whole season under a new voice.

The team is starting to gain a little more confidence in closing out games. Would be nice to string a few more wins together.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

I would love for us to win the next 3 vs Cavs, Rockets and Thunder before we start that 8 game west coast road trip.

No excuses! All of those should be wins.
I have us at 4-1 to start the second half in the first five games but we should go 5-0.

I like the way Nate explained his handling of the late game intentional free throw situation.

This teams individual talent is better than 500 but they had so many new faces and injuries. I think they are first starting to see the guys on the court that they hoped for before the season.
