    ^I don't think anyone else would have done what Thomas did tonight, that ball toss to Murray that is.

    That was Kobe Bryant petty, but in a hilarious way.

    I loved seeing the highlights of Isaiah tonight down the stretch. That crossover on Jokic was something else. I haven't seen anything that embarrassing in a while. That to me was better than the push-off everyone loved from Harden a couple of weeks ago. Just nasty.

    I don't know how long Isaiah is going to be here, but this is a fun and interesting ride while it lasts.

    Is it just me or does IT looks a little like Jerry the mouse?

    He is a bit smaller, but yes.

    You have to attribute some of their swagger to IT being there. If anything, his presence is helping our young guys grow at a faster rate.

    the end of the game was great, but he had some really bad moments in this game, too. i'm not certain he won't be back--it all depends on whether the lakers can get two stars. zero or one, and i'd give it a decent shot he's back, probably on a one-year deal at a higher salary.

    i don't think the FA market is going to be kind to him, even if he picks up his play at the end here.

    If we get "only" George, i wouldn't mind resigning IT for a year (still as a bench guy though) and bringing back Lopez for cheap (if that's possible).

    IT drives me crazy sometimes. I cringe when I see him driving into traffic and you know he’s going to attempt a jump pass. He takes some really bad shots.

    All that said, you can’t really deny that he brings a swagger to young, inexperienced teams. If Lebron doesn’t join LA, I would have no problem bringing him back as a 6th man.

    I got no clue what the future holds for him but I have enjoyed watching him the last few games. It’s tough to predict anything with this team moving forward.

    I just love the fire he plays with. When the smallest guy out there is not backing down, it's infectious.

    I hate the times it looks like the big kids on the other team are just taking the kid's candy (ball) away from him.

    Well it was fitting that on the day Stephen Hawking passes, one of his key inspirations, the theory of relativity and the phenomenon of time dilation was so well demonstrated: For a fast moving particle (IT), time seems to slow down whereas to a non-accelerating observer (Nikola Jokic) IT seems to move at an incredible rate of speed and warps, causing IT's mouth to look like a humiliating smile.
