    Very impressive.. deep talent off our bench, we're stacked in some areas. With some momentum and as everyone learns to play together.. pretty dangerous club.

    I haven't had this much fun watching a game in a long time. These guys 'want' to win, just oozing passion which we haven't had in years.

    Despite everything I always felt like this team could compete if we just put the right pieces around AD and LeBron. I’m really glad we didn’t just punt the year and pulled the trigger on some moves. Completely different team now on both ends of the floor.

    It’s been a crazy season but this team is playing as good as anyone right now.

    Absolutely, Elgin! Thank goodness they finally found the right players to complement AD and Lebron. It would have been such a waste of a season if they did nothing or let Russ expire. Rob did an incredible job at the deadline. This team is fun to watch, easy to root for and has so much versatility and youth now.

    The chemistry and unity this team already has is rare. We're barely a month in AND we've had guys in and out of the IR. That's only going to improve and like DLO said, if you give them a training camp...

    They almost put D’Angelo back on the injured list just from celebrating

    Memo to Pelinka: If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    I love this team. Period.

    Completely different team without THAT guy. These guys are SO fun to watch that I'm now gonna go to a game or two before season's end!

    LeBron or not - I'm excited about the FUTURE for once.

    Actually had the NY game circled as a loss. Randle always kills us and we were outmanned in the post. This is a game where Bamba was much needed.

    We dominated a must win game. Pelicans never got close. Great win.

    I knew it felt like I’d never seen us shoot so well from 3.

    It boggles the mind that we not only got rid of westbrook, but also got a young talented pg of the future who wants to be here. and we got a bonafide shooter in beas. and we got a great hustle guy in vando. and we got mo. man rob came through so big i still cant believe it. really hope we can keep a majority of the team together next szn

    I think us getting RUI before the deadline is still one of our best moves man. He gives us something differnt where you can throw the ball to him on the perimeter or in the post and he can get a mid range off against basically anybody and he's automatic. Reminds me a lot of Tobias Harris. And he's still young.

    This team man...I hope we can start rallying off some wins so we can keep moving up those standings. Everything is up for grabs now...even the Suns aren't guaranteed to get 4th spot.

    This team is just fun to watch. That first half did me so much good! 75 points total and a 35 point lead. Really amazing to see it. Beastly on fire from three.
