    DLO’s twists have grown an inch and he has another tattoo.

    fans should notice such things less than your on the court play

    I think it's an issue

    And I hope it's something he grows out of, but I'm thankful our young players seem less concerned about some of those things.

    Seemed like DLO used to have a new hairstyle every month. Our guys seem to be ok where they are at minus Ball chopping the fro earlier in the year

    We coulda came up with the loss and I still would've been proud of our crew tonight.

    That defense was beautiful to watch. Now with the Chicago/Pels trade and Monroe being waived from the Suns, we're officially the youngest team in the league (even w/Deng). As a young squad we did everything necessary to hand that game away, but we remained resilient through our defense. Love it!

    After getting punked by OKC the last 2 game, we brought it to them. Come Feb. 8th, they better do it again. They raised our expectations to such.

    ...saw the first half which we led, home for the last minute and half of craziness where the squad looked like a bunch of headless chickens out there. Unexpected win tbh.

    Good win. Kind of makes up that terrible Orlando loss. But if they win 5 in a row, then it will make it up.

    If you ignore the last minute of this game it was one of the best we played all season. We matched them shot for shot when they made a run in the late 3rd, we played really good defense and with tons of energy. We knocked down multiple key/big threes late, Randle, Ingram, Lopez, Hart, and JC were all great, and we beat this whiny, entitled Thunder team that beat us badly before. Also finally gave George a nice look at what he could join this summer, should he want to get away from that angry little chucker he currently plays next to.

    Another game of experiencing how to close out games. As long as they pull these games out it is a great sign at this point in the season and I can’t wait to see if they can keep up after the all star break. Just a confidence builder and positive learning resource.

    My goodness this team is so fun to watch. I’m nearly tempted to think we only need to add one max player in 2018, then another in 2019.

    Seeing how open the middle of the Western Conference is in the standings, we need more games like this one and less like the Orlando one.

    Lakers beat OKC, Patriots lose the super bowl, New England and Boston weep. What a great sports day, Buck Foston!

    F Yes!

    ...that little ***** Brady did not even stick around to shake hands with Foles and the Eagles. Do not like the Philly fans but much respect to Foles and the underdog Eagles.
