    That's good but watch out for Sabonis, Kuzma is going to have his hands full.

    Props to Lonzo and BI for continuing to fight for a place at the dinner table with King James. We’ve seen talented young players do far worse and crumble under his shadow (Hood and Clarkson).

    With Lebron on our side, anything is possible.

    This, theres been maybe two or three games where we looked dominant but otherwise, every game has looked like a struggle. We have good quarters here and there but not being able to string four together.

    Well, we improved from last year - went from .400 to .570 at this point in the season. I mean, that's pretty big. I also don't care how we get wins, as long as we're winning. The team is growing, we are solidifying our playoff position. I'm happy.

    So, we play 3 games in 4 nights? Am I reading this right? Pacers, Mavs and Suns?

    Like 29/30/Dec 2? And the game on Dec 2nd is an early one?

    Who is the moron that does the schedule?

    Solid win, Dallas was tied with us in the loss column and in the 8th spot. We pushed them out for a night and moved up a spot, tied with Portland for 6th in the West at 13-9. Must beat the Suns next, have to take advantage of the really bad teams.

    Here is some optimism: the Blazers were recently #2 in the West. Now there are behind us. Memphis was #1. But we are now .5 game behind them. Basically, this is the point when we start to make some noise, and Rondo will be back soon to add some depth.

    It's always nice to win a game with Lebron scoring less than 30 points and less than 35 minutes. It looked dicey early, but we played great from 2nd quarter to the 4th.

    We were fortunate Doncic had a really bad game.

    Many things, probably. Anything? Nah. Not really.

    Nice to see the youngin’s try to figure things out with Lebron on the floor. Also nice to see us extend the lead with him on the bench in the 4th.
