My gawd, the turnovers! But we're finding new creative ways to give the ball up so that's a positive.

They say any road win is a good win. So I’ll take it.

Anyone, do they have talented guys in BkN? I feel like they stripped their team twice and got no reward. First for us and then when they assembled that trio. They built back fast after the first one, so they have it in them again?

The Celtics played badly-- one turnover after another-- but it was the Nets, fortunately. Porter is obviously and NBA player and the kid Demin has some talent, but the rest is hopeless.

The bench got a lot of minutes tonight which is always great.

Look we shouldn't get carried away, given the quality of the opposition, but we are on a win streak and got a very friendly draw in the next week or so (with plenty of rest) and a good opportunity to rise up the standings

A couple of the rooks…clowney and Claxton. MPJ is of course a legit player. Seems like a lot of guys that could be serviceable rotation players, but I don’t see the top end talent. They deserve a good pick this year. I guess

Still don’t like his game but I have some respect for him.


My memory maybe a bit jaded but I seem to recall Luke struggled for a while in his first few months with us.

I am optimistic Garza will be better as the season progresses.

I don’t think he’s playing bad enough to get much better. It’s not that, I just think he’s too ground bound and a perimeter nightmare on defense. He’s like Enes, but not nearly as good, in the wrong era.
