Assuming we hold on, one of the better wins of the season where even I was expecting a loss

I don't count us winning four out of five against these western teams, great to have a comeback win leading by our captain.

Brunson has redeemed himself after that forgettable Saturday game.

I watched the first half and did not enjoy it. I thought we were totally random, had no fire, giving them easy layups.

Skipped the third and watched the last four minutes of the game so my experience was different.

true.. i still expect us to smack em



after nearly 40 mins for most of our starters...im not expecting it

just glad we got this one since we battled all the way back would have been gut wrenching to not pull it out.

I mean who did you want playing? Down a guy, Hakporti 4 fouls in 8 min, Shamet is god awful outside of every 6th game it seems like. Blowout tomorrow and get some rest

I'm not arguing that. I simply said the team is going to have some heavy legs tomorrow so its good to get this one.

We gotta make a move for Javonte Green. He's 6'4 but at least he has a 7'0 wingspan

Do we have any conditional 2nd round picks or swaps to give up for him?!

W incoming tomorrow night, won't shoot 23% from 3 again. Once fully healthy:

Brunson
Hart
Bridges
OG
Mitch

Can cause some absolute headaches to teams defensively for some part of the game
