    And the optimistic part is back then we didn’t have LeBron and AD sitting on the bench ready to come in and tear it up soon.

    Maybe if Kief and Dennis get into it with KD and Kyrie and bait them into ejections. Then Kief and Trez (Schröder's muscle) would fall on the sword and get tossed. Maybe then.

    But most likely we'll lose by 20+. Optimism: we could make it respectable and lose by only 10-15.


    Maybe.

    One of the best games this season. Everyone gave solid effort and did their job. Not a single player played poorly tonight. Hopefully this is the team that shows up vs Knicks and Hornets. Winning those two should keep us in the 6th seed in time for Bron and AD to come back.

    8 different players in double figures. The most satisfying win of the season IMO.

    This should be the motivation and proof for our guys that regardless of who's sitting, we can compete with anyone. Hopefully we ride this high until they come back.

    This team is 12 deep

    Drummond/Marc
    AD/Harrell/Kieff
    Lebron/Kuzma
    KCP/THT/McLemore
    Schroder/AC


    crowded frontcourt and backcourt is a good problem to have.

    Yeah, I’d have to say, most impressive win of the season thus far.

    Lately these wins have been talking to one another. “oh yeah? .... hold my beer”

    Who’da thought our best win of the year would be without practically our entire starting lineup?

    I was worried most of our guys wouldn’t step up after LeBron and AD went down—turns out they just needed some time to gel and figure out their roles. They seem to be playing with more focus every time out.

    Also loving Vogel’s minutes distribution keeping everyone fresh so they could go all out every time they step on the floor.
