Very good win. Giannis was a monster. Brook was a tough guard for them. Dame was a mess early, poised and within himself after that. Kuzma attacked hard and didn't sink us despite a "bad" shooting performance. Trent was a factor the whole game. Green hit a couple big shots when our starters were out.

Good win against a team who have been playing really well. We do a bunch of dumb things that will cost us in the playoffs and we don't seem to learn from it at all.

If they can reign in Kuzma's tendency to force up some truly terrible jumpers/threes I actually like a lot of what he brings.

And it's not that he can't shoot threes sometimes, he just has to stick to clean set looks and not get overly ambitious.

Great game. Did I hear Harlan or Reggie say the Bucks are the #3 d? That's incredible - there isn't that much defensive talent on the roster imo.

Would love to meet up with the Nuggets in the finals. We just match up well with them, and in a lot of ways we are very similar teams.

Just start Gary please.

Really strange shot distribution for a win, but I’ll take it.

Let’s keep stacking wins and get the 4-5 seed. We’re dangerously close to playing in the 3-6 against the Knicks (who have killed us this year).

Every chance Reggie got to say "fouling Giannis is not a bad move by Denver" he'd knock both down. He also was sitting there saying Giannis was afraid to be the high screener because he didn't want the pressure of knocking them down...what a ****.

Great win. Big shots from everyone but Dame it seemed (outside of his last one). Off night, not worried.

Brook played good D on Jokic. Other teams triple him. Didn't need to because the Joker couldn't bully Brook.

Houston loss had 4 pages in 20 minutes. Not enough to complain about tonight I guess. 8-)

2nd best win of the season(behind the Cup Championship vs OKC). Giannis is stupid good

Kuzma continues to be really good on defense and really bad on offense. Hopefully, we can get that to equalize a bit more.

If your opponent shoots 26% from 3 and you get 17 more FTAs, you better win the game so kudos. Still need to shore up the rebounding.

He has drives that he has no chance to finish too. He needs to look to score less. He plays with Giannis now, move the ball!

I've given up hope on the rebounding for the regular season. My only hope is when it really matters in the playoffs guys will start going all out and it will be less of an issue.

I bet you wouldn't trade him for Khris Middleton right now, though. :wink:
