Marvin played 5 minutes...don't see anything about an injury though.

We need to keep up the defense intensity. Don't think we can shoot >50% the full game.

Maybe because Turner was eating him alive and we needed more length out there.

4th quarter against Washington is probably the best we have played

Other than that maybe the Bulls/Memphis blowout but this is up there

I was concerned about fit and that has nothing to do with PJ. MKG's slashing, decision making, and passing has been an awesome upgrade at that end. Maybe I needed to see this kind of contrast to realize MKG makes his teammates better. They're playing more organized on both ends since his return. That is partly do to having fresh legs and more depth as everyone got healthy around the same time. At any rate, MKG is a much better passer and slasher than I remember.


He's improved offensively since last season. Case in point, his 3pt shot. My worry was that he might have suffered a setback on the offensive improvements he worked so hard on in the summer because of the injury, but I'm happy to see that's not the case.

No more of this helps MKG a lot. Everyone really. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but its the truth.

I missed the beginning of the game, but you'd figure he'd at least get SOME run after that.

Though now I wonder if Kaminsky starts the half.

His ability to fast break has been a weapon as well. He adds stress to the defense and they were getting too comfortable out there. We didn't have a breaker a slasher or a finisher. PJ can do none of those things and he can't play within the offense or set up others, like ever. Offensive rebounds also boost morale. Our shooters went cold and we needed second chances. Teams were running us off the three point line unless it was PJ or Marvin. They were daring them to shoot. Marvin was cold for a while there.

Cleveland is our signature win this season, but it wasn't our most impressive performance imo. A lot of our other big wins were games where we had to score a million points to barely eek out a victory. We've dominated the Pacers on both sides of the ball this game.
