    Jock itch and Furby getting beasted by randle made me happy. Thuggets 2.0 minus the talent.

    This may have been the sexiest win of the year. Man, I was pumped towards the end.

    Undermanned with two key players out and three quarters of disjointed ball? Trailing by double digits late in the third? Resilient bunch...did not want another end of the game clown show from Murray.

    The fact that we are doing this with Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and Paul George out is downright surreal.

    It's so petty but I love this little rivalry we've got between these two young teams.

    The constant booing Murray, Randle and Jokic, IT passing Murray the ball at the end, the minute long Murray sucks chants. It's great.

    2-1 against 'playoff chasing' teams the last 3 games. If we can beat the Durant-only Warriors tonight, I'm positive we can have another 4-0 road trip but a 2-2 would be fine. Oh and the Heat? If they can't beat us in Florida, no way they're beating us in California.

    I'm upping my expectations. Rather than considering them 'difficult', I'm downgrading those teams not underlined to 'beatable'. And from 5-13, 13-2 is now the new goal, ceiling I mean. But I don't care if they go 0-15, it won't change the fact we're playoff bound next season.

    Man, this is exactly the type of season I was hoping for, so that could attract Free Agents. Competitive against top level teams (Golden State), beating top level teams (Houston, Cleveland, Boston), beating teams that we should (since the 2nd half of the season), camaraderie and zero drama, even with players coming in halfway through the season (IT). Sure we had our ups and downs in the beginning of the season, but that was expected with a culture shift and integrating rookies and sophmores as leaders and floor runners for this team. Not to mention, that December stretch was absolutely brutal for our squad and January injuries slowed things down.

    You know it's a good situation when even with playoff window is closing, they are still having fun and competing. Meanwhile, a lot of the teams #3-9 are all question marks now with chemistry, contention window, and cap space.

    We're looking mighty good going into 2018 AND 2019.
