Unflippinbelievable!!!!!!! AAAARRRROOOO!

Never saw this comin in a million years. That's why sports are so great.

McD is turning into a star now that Finch isn't having him stand in a corner.

Fantastic come back with the young guys. Jaden in MVP style. The team ( except ANT and NAZ) shoot so well tonight. Kind of win who should make ANT think and learn. He did not shoot well at all but find a way to help with his rebound, defense and his block was huge.

This was the game we needed. Ant aged just by watching this. Finch may be better now as well

This is the Pippen game for Ant :D

This is one of those dangerous games where I get hope. Jaden played really well. Finch coached well. Rookies played well. Everyone played together. It was super fun to watch.

I'm all hopeful now, and I really hope it doesn't come back to bite me.

This was the most fun game I've watched since the Nuggs Game 2 last year.

The real game winner was our bench. Our bench put up 52 points!!! 41 for OKC.

If they dumped Randle and Rudy for picks and expirings they could out OKC OKC in the long term.

That’s the direction they’re heading in, if you ask me.

Jaden's offensive leap has been the most promising thing so far this season...he has now had 10 straight games of atleast 10+ points.

That is not a crazy thing to say. I would have given Rudy away to keep Kat if money was the concern. I'm still pissed about that trade.

I'm with you on that "crazy idea". They can't trade Rudy until the off season but I'd move him. I'd prefer to trade Randle because he's a bad fit but an epiring should get us a better fit in free agency. That's an interesting idea.

TSJ has his first career double double. Jaden with a 25/10 game. Four Wolves with double doubles, and NAW with 21 to go along with Dilly’s 12. I think we can call that a team win.

In the last 10 games, Jaden has had 6+ rebounds in 9 of them. All his numbers have really taken a leap during last month. His fouls have also gone down significantly this season

I started from about the 6 minute mark. Jaden just tied it up. Very enjoyable!

I think March has been the best month every season of his career and it feels like he has turned a corner to become a legit offensive threat

but then seems to revert back when next season starts

He does seem more confident and strong with the ball compared to previous years but when Randle and Gobert come back I'm worried he'll have to camp out in the corner 3s out of spacing necessity again
