Massive game by Scottie. Glad to have RJ back. Even in limited mins it was obvious how much he improves the team.

They gotta figure out the Yak situation. Don't think the Barnes at C thing will be nearly as effective against teams with actual decent bigs. We just saw that not too long ago against the Nets lol.

But still a really good home W. They needed it.

IQ 27/4/7 on 15 shots. (And HUGE late buckets)

Complaints galore in the GT.

Can we start playing Scottie as a small-ball C in the clutch and in certain matchups? It seems like such an obvious adjustment to make that has barely happened since Darko became the head coach. There have been many times in the past — and now today as well — where Scottie pretty much singlehandedly wins us a game by dominating the glass/paint while having the flexibility to roam on the defensive end and blow up so many of the opponent's possessions. Just an absolutely remarkable performance today from Scottie that was arguably a top 3 game of his career and one of the better individual performances we've seen over the past few years.

Overall, a massive win from a team that desperately needed to feel good again. Big contributions from JKW, Ochai and Shead while IQ and Ingram stepped up down the stretch. Gradey had some great moments with his activity too and Mamu did his usual good stuff. RJ looked really good early on, but it was about 5 minutes into the game where he was already grabbing at his shorts and he struggled from that point on. Definitely needs some time to get back into game shape. :lol:

Wouldn't it be funny after all this time, center is where he breaks out.

I’ve thought for years his highest ceiling position was at center.

IQ is definitely a 4th quarter guy tho I must admit. He couldn't hit anything in the first half

Hope RJ is OK.

He got his leg bumped and went off and never came back. His impact is big on a team with no superstar.

Hopefully a trade comes sooner than later.

There is something off with this team. The inconsistencies aren’t the signs of a team on the rise.

Welcome back RJ!!

Bench helped a lot in this one. GS has no dominant C so that eliminated a key weakness for us.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

That's the type of W to build on, Curry thought he put us away with that 3 and we still pulled it out. Character Win tonight.

Scottie has been playing small ball 5 for basically the last 3 weeks? They do it all of the time lol. It’s just very effective when the other team’s best rebounder only gets 6 a game. So not effective against traditional bigs.
