And winning shows it pays off, so positive feedback to enhance it even more.

I think this team is just sick of their losing ways and now they've tasted competitiveness as a team, they want to chase it now. It's called a winning culture/environment and that's what we should be cultivating.

We're playing the right way and everything stems from that.

At times we still revert to isolation / standing around and missed rotations on defense but it's not the norm anymore.

Wow that was one of the most satisfying wins we've had in years, loved watching us come back from down 20+ to win in Washington. Definitely didn't think we'd get a win when I saw we were down like 20 once I was able to turn the game on, but that just shows how this team fights. Wonder if we'll be able to keep this level of play going? I don't see us making a run for a playoff spot or anything yet with how strong the West is and how young we are (bar something very unexpected), but we should definitely break 30 wins this year.

Go read the Wizards game thread. There is one Wizards fan that is proposing trading Wall for Bled and Chandler. They are really coming down on Wall.

So damn proud of our guys tonight! That's how you fight. Didn't give up after a tough start. Let's keep this winning train rolling.

Anyone got a decent sized GIF of TJ Warren posterizing #31?

The close up replay of it would be awesome.

Awesome win brothers!

Loving the development and maturity of Booker with his decision making.

If Bender takes Porzingis off the dribble next game, I might just explode!

Next game should be a lot of fun. Chriss and Bender will have a big assignment against Porzingis.
