    starting to think we got a good coach

    maybe

    too early to tell. Kinda wish we'd have gotten a coach that focused on defense like Byron Scott tho

    foxholes and fisticuffs must always be mentioned in the huddle, I doubt Vogel does that and that's why he will fail:Vogelheaving:

    We really went Mike Brown --> Mike D'Antoni --> Byron Scott --> Luke Walton. That is just unf&%king believable. I wake up every day relived the Jim Buss era is over.

    the coaching hires were probably as damaging as mozdeng, tbh, if not more.

    The fact that we trotted those first three out with Kobe here is equally infuriating and embarrassing.

    When you look back on what he was doing, is sure makes you realize how little he actually knew about what he was doing. One of the worst decision makers in pro sports management that I have ever witnessed. His decision making process was absolutely horrible.

    We won, Portland lost, so we didn’t lose any ground to the team on our heels, we did a good job taking care of the teams we can. I’m pleasantly surprised at how we’ve played lately when we have enough players available to at least have a 9/10 man rotation.

    Mavs lost two in a row.
    Portland lost two in a row.
    Denver lost Murray and Lakers have a chance to take their 4th spot.

    Lakers are in a way better position than I expected with Bron/AD out. Hope AD can be back for the Dallas matchup, though. Those two games will be huge to solidify the seedings.

    Drummond 27, Schroder 25, KCP 25, I can't remember the last time we had 3 guys with 20 + points. Dwight/Kobe/Pau maybe?

    35-22 while missing substantial time from both team superstars

    Rested Stars for the playoffs while everyone else is feeling the strain of the season

    Best deadline pickup

    Secondary players getting some nice run. Young guys developing. 3 point shooters that didn't forget how to shoot.


    Lots to be optimistic about.

    We needed that win badly, to lose to the Jazz while they’re as banged up as us would have been awful. I know our team is banged up too, and they have to be tired as hell, so major credit to them for fighting through and getting that win.
