I'll take that ugly character win. They can often bring a team closer together, especially with your 2 best players laying it all on the line to secure that win. Feels good man.

Gotta find some numbers but damn they love to pass to each other majority of the time.

Scottie is still jekyl and Hyde offensively but I can live with it as long as that defensive focus is there all the time. He’s all nba defense level like this. Playing healthy and lots of energy. No more ankle rolls please.

I was afraid for a split second that he was gonna force a bad shot with the double team on him. Got to give him credit for making the right play by passing to a driving RJ.

wtf was that lmao

It was like three minutes into the game when I realized it was gonna be one of those games cuz the refs sucked. They let A LOT of contact go early and it kinda took us away from attacking the rim. And then the Hornets got some dubious calls and…well it kinda neutered us on a day we didn’t really have it anyway. Glad we got this one.

Teams are coming for us now.

I know RJ banged that last one in but he's definitely the weak link in the starting lineup.

When he’s struggling he forces it more when he needs to do the opposite.


I don't think he really forced too much, transition scoring is his game and he's going to be attacking every chance he gets. Maybe one or 2 of them was on the more ill advised side but he wasn't getting calls and smoked some easy layups there and that's why people are on him. I would complain more about his D this game which was awful.

Man what a win, you can nitpick saying they shouldve won by more but weve has all double digit wins and it felt good to see a team execute in the clutch. Great defense by Ingram and Barnes, really frustrating but exciting game. Lets spin the block on Philly and get some get back lol

When you've seen Bargnani, 2021-2024 seems like a moment in history. In terms of irrelevance. And not that bad.

Yup the previous baseline jumper he took he looked off a wide open IQ and threw up an air ball haha. Glad he learned from that one.

i thought gradey was rather good actually, but apart from him, ye haha.

I'm actually starting to see why people say that he'd be better off as a 6th man. He's a horrible defender, i can only imagine in the playoffs teams picking on him over and over. When he's not scoring he's a liability.

Tied for 3rd seed in the East.

Also nice that we beat the Cavs and Hawks twice already who are the 2nd and 3rd seeds respectively. Those were good teams we beat.

Historically a game we'd regularly lose.

Look at BI & Scottie getting those clutch blocks at the rim.

This is getting as close to ROTY Scottie intensity & productivity as that campaign itself.

Quick was great tonight as well - team best +7.

RJ had some very, very bad moments. Poor effort on both ends. Need him to make better decisions. He's actually a pretty good playmaker, so he's quite effective when he looks to create for others.
