good for a change. celebrate the win, but let’s prepare for the next one. no need for over celebration

JVM, Book, & Jan.

i think it woulda been really bad for the team if we dropped this one

Glad we started the road trip with a W. Schedule not getting easier after this. Probably won’t get another win until the Bucks,Kings, or Suns.

so congrats to him on a milestone during a 14 year NBA career.

Too soon?

just finished watching and haven’t read anything other than the title of this thread. Will go back to the game thread shortly.

1. That place was dead. It looked empty, sounded empty, and felt like a graveyard. Wow. As bad as it seems sometimes around the phone booth sometimes, it hasn’t been that bad all season, even during the raptors game.

2. I think John Wall at home, on the plane, and in the team hotel, watched the Knicks game 10 times. That looked just like Lin and Chandler to me, all night. It was as if it clicked. Pace, correct decisions, skip passes, thinking about the pass first, using his athleticism and scoring threat as a way to open up the options for the team instead of forcing the offense, almost never out of control. How nice was it to see John smiling? Remember that feeling Jimmy. Remember it.

That’s my point guard.

Let’s see if they can keep doing it.

3. Very good game by Javale and Nick. They did what was expected, although for a brief period Nick became a big time ball stopper. Why doesn’t he realize how much better he is as a catch and shooter.

4. Loved the active Defense. Feet moving, hands moving, talking. Not sure what got into these guys today, but whatever they did, keep doing it…maybe someone told them about the JVG comments. Who knows.

5. Vesely again showed he is a great hustle player. But he is going to have to become an offensive threat somehow to keep the defense honest. But on this team, just the fact that he hustles and runs the floor well sets him apart, which says as much about his teammates as him.

6. Mo Evans should never see the court again. He is literally doing nothing other than taking up space and slowing the team down. As a matter of fact, I would cut him if there is a D league player they want to test out. Othyus would be a better option in my opinion with this particular team.

7. Finally, I am just going to chalk Crawford’s game up to being at home and trying to impress friends and family, because there was nothing redeeming about that his game. Nada.

and chucked up a clanker. Pass the ball, Nick!

Its embarrassing how badly they want to be like TNT. Also, wilbon is trash ahaha

It’s games like this that make you understand why Ernie drafted “long and fast.”

Even if it was Detroit, it’s awesome to see the team on the happy end of a blowout, especially running away with it like they did. I checked once and it was tight, and few minutes later you were up 20!
