    A win over the C Bags would be sweet. Just keep getting victories.

    Probably the most stressful win of the season. That being said, I ALWAYS love beating the C Bags!

    They know how to close out games now. Just make the damn free throws and it will be easier.

    That's right Zo, keep resting.

    Seriously though, I think the team have now adjusted. They don't look as lost as they were when Zo first had his injury. Actually, they don't look lost at all.

    3 in a row and against playoff teams and without Ball. Can we start talking about chasing that 8th spot?

    If we beat the C Bags, it’s always the best win of the year. If we beat them when they’re the best team in the East, even better.

    ...and screwing up their draft place too. Rooting for The Tenants (skin-crawling as it is) and Golden State on Saturday. They are sound defensively but won't overwhelm opponents with scoring. Other than Irving, they don't have anyone that can take over a game.

    But they have Tatum, the greatest rookie ever! I mean he’s putting up 13.7 ppg and 5.5 boards. That’s unheard of, no other rookie is coming close to that. Oh wait, there’s this dude on the Lakers putting up 16.4 ppg and 6.1 boards. :speechless:

    Down double digits near the end of the first half...I like how we responded and cut the deficit with momentum to start the third.

    This is not last year's Team at all.
    Love the way they have responded after a brutal December schedule & injuries.

    Also looks like Kuzma has some pep back in his step due to the decreased minutes lately.
    That's a good sign. Bust through that rookie wall Kuz.
