    Huge win. With the Minny blunder, we had to get this one. The starters + AR really gutted out a tough one today.

    We have 17 games to make up 2+ games on the field and get 6th place. Still feels possible due to the magic of Rob and Kurt and Linda

    At least Morant will not play next Tuesday for being an idiot. Another winnable game.

    Big win today after the Minny let down. Great to see us bounce back with some high energy and get one. Yeah, I wish we had this team all year long. We'd probably be in the top 3 in the West even with Lebron and AD's injuries.

    Imagine how much credit Kurt will get. Amazing.

    Gettign rid of Russ and not playing guys like Walker with poor ball IQ has helped with this.

    Lakers outside of Lebron and Vando have guys who can be overpowered with athleticism but guys like Schroeder, Reaves, Beasley, and Brown move really well on their defensive rotation on the perimeter and don't get beat back door and miss the secondary rotations. Dumping better athletes/individual defenders for better team defenders has really payed big dividends

    (plus the team isn't tiny anymore)

    Beasley is one who has surprised and impressed me. He isn't a stopper by any stretch, but he tries and is aware of everything going on defensively. He's very active in the passing lanes and has good instincts.

    Gonna put this for those who don’t know the ages of our current players. We became one of the league’s youngest roster in the league after last year’s The Expendables. :Laugh:

    We've won 7 or our last 10. Sole possession of the 9th spot after this win tonight. Great stuff - keep up the pace and let's get 10-11 more wins to close out the regular season.
