I think you meant this haha

Who is Lawry's Markerman? Never heard of him.


Good feelings aside, I’ll be surprised if we beat Cleveland. Their size is a bad matchup for us even when healthy. Mobley’s insane defensive length and mobility can hide any shortcomings of our favorite former Finnish Bull.

To see this team's perseverance while short handed, and to think of all the times in the past the front office used being short handed as a excuse for the poor team they assembled.

It's great to have real NBA players and real NBA depth on this team....what a difference that makes in this league.

Can't say enough good things about Ayo, Zach, Ball, Vuc and Jones all stepping up at different times throughout this game and leading them to a win.

Makes watching the past 6 years worth it to see how far this team has come, and I am happy that Zach made it to the light at the end of the tunnel that is winning.

Ball was the most aggressive on the bounce that ive seen him. Needed it today and it opens up some passes for him. Hope he keeps it up

Ha I was there. I yelled a few things about Thomas and his tentative play. When he hit that 3 I was happy for him but his first couple touches set the tone completely unsure. Like buddy you got a week you are going to get minutes make the most of them. Don’t look over your shoulder at Dotson lol.

He's one of several examples of guys who BD has put in a position to succeed. Javonte is another. Heck, everyone is, except for possibly Vuc. Something about playing C in BD's scheme seems to put a lot of pressure on the big guys.

Enjoy it everyone. It’s been awhile.


I find myself watching these games screaming, cussing, clapping…truly invested.

And then I think to myself, yo mmmmmbeer, it’s
early December.

Then I tell myself I don’t care….this **** is finally fun again.

Gotta start with Ayo who was not great for a rookie, he was great for any NBA player. Passing, Stealing, Finishing, Shooting...NICE!

Zach did a little more than usual, with a super efficient night and 8 dimes.

Ball is monster on defense. We needed his 3's tonight. I would love to see him stop getting caught in the paint and shoot, but ok.

DJJ showed what I've been saying all along. Start this dude at PF. He gives us the rim protection and rebounding we need.

Vuc had an off shooting night, but did a little of everything else to stumble into a 20/10 night with a block and a steal.

We are a better team with Bradley getting those backup C minutes. I'd like to see that stick, with DJJ starting at PF!

:wave: ououou...ME!


Vegas still had the Bulls as the favorite too FWIW


I mean Denver is down 6 players… including their #2 and #3 scorers and Rivers is as good as Coby I would think.

I wonder if Ayo ever played 41 minutes in college. Must have been some double overtime game or two. Amazing effort tonight, and he just keeps getting better.

This is the biggest surprise of a win we've had so far.

Hmmm. Denver is missing half its team and is in the midst of a long road trip. I fully expected a win, DeMar or not.

Looks like we're gonna get an extended look at DJJ with the starters.

12/9 (4 offensive) tonight, always active on defense.

If he can end up being our starting PF who can play defense and knock down some shots (essentially the role that PW was supposed to play), man that'd be huge. He's taller and longer compared to Green, and you can always bring Green off the bench with Caruso and Coby. Now that's a bench mob.

Milwaukee can't come soon enough. I'd like to see how DJJ does vs Giannis because I thought he did as well as anyone can vs KD the other night - kept him mostly around his averages.
