    That was wild. My optimistic thought would be that yet again we put on a good showing in a national TV game. Last season we s*** the bed so often in those games. This season, we are in almost every one of them, and guys like LeBron are informing us they are tuning in to watch.

    As I recall we actually lost a few late national games because we were so bad and so bad during them

    that stretch in the third where ball and zinger were trading blows was pretty awesome for a regular season nba game. i'll take it!

    Mission accomplished guys... No KCP and TT "cancel out" and it took 17 from Jose Calderon for them to win.

    If we had Lebron he cant help but think what it could be with say Paul George.

    It was a very good game and I take heart in that. It never got too out of reach and we kept fighting throughout. Yes, we lost but it was a competitive hard fought game and that's a huge improvement over years past. You can see that we are one go to player away from being a winning team once again.

    Moral victory... We'll have a lot of those.
    We'll be the most moral team at the end of the season. Huhmmm, wait is that what "moral" victory does?

    Kidding aside, it was a good game.

    If youre usually not the moral victory kinda person... This is the year to be. Its a TRUE foundation setting year with further young guys and different players infused into the squad.

    Lebron or not. We put the league on notice and its a great game to hopefully spark us up to play consistently.

    I used to hate it when we were on national tv especially TNT, those guys showed no mercy when it came to how bad we were and how much they hated we were being showcased. Much more respect this season.

    We certainly had our chances against CLE, too many missed open shots toward the end and late game turnovers. But very encouraging.

    Our young centerpieces showed their stuff this game and we didn't get blown out.

    Hope hope hoping we get a win tonight for the organization over the Warriors on Kobe's night. That would be sweet. Are all these guys that aren't playing tonight for GS really hurt or is Kerr giving us a shot at it because of Kobe's night and daring us to beat them while missing all their guys?

    Yeah ..... if only with Randle starting now at the 5. But Luke won't. For whatever reasons he is dead set on bringing him off the bench.

    They got 36 points from bums and we got screwed on officiating down the stretch on KCP drive at 420 and Ingram to tie it. Julius also got cute on a reverse layup around 3 min.

    Definite moral victory in my book. Easily coulda won that. Lopez and Clark only had 10 combined too.
