Cory Joseph’s defense has been really, really good this year.

He’d be about my favorite player if he could muster being a solid offensive threat, like tonight, as well. It just opens an element for the team. But his defense has been good, and Fox has a lot to live up to on that end when he comes back

Can anyone give insight on how Ariza looked? Did not see the game and his numbers looked good

What a game. What a shot!

I found it absolutely hilarious that we were able to box-and-one Harden the entire game and Coach Pringles didn't adjust. Very simple to have Westbrook cut into space or simply just give Westbrook the ball and have Harden stand next to him. Instead, they just Harden ISOed all night. One trick pony gimmick team lost to a gimmick defense :lol:

These last two games (other than once the Mavs zoned us and took us out of our offense) were the highest level we've played in some years. Very encouraging signs. We actually looked like a professional team tonight.

BEST finish of a game since that Bogdan game winner in December of last year. Getting through the rough part of this schedule is huge, but we have GOT to win those other winnable games as well.

We have a chance to do something special when we get fully healthy

He was solid. Since coming back Ariza has been a menace defensively. He gets a little overconfident as a shooter sometimes but he's working so hard on D you almost have to cut him some slack and let him go for it.

Thanks. Probably gonna have to accept his questionable shot selection at times as a trade off for his defense. I still think he can give us 20 quality mins off the bench at both forward spots.

Too many Ariza "heat checks" for my liking.
