Credit to Paulo for continuing to get healthy and get better. Also credit to Cole for a great game last night.

Cole seemed really engaged on the defensive end tonight and I think that positively impacted the entire team. That block on Giannis was, for lack of a better word, MAGIC!

Yes, I agree. Cole was really locked in last night. Blocking Giannis and being much shorter than him, he showed his athleticism and the meaning of the phrase "to sky".

Actually, that is the second time (not this  game), I have seen Cole jump high to block the shot of a much taller opponent.

Keep it up young man!

Is it over after last night, game # 64?

Next 5 on the road, versus Bucks, Rockets, Pelicans, Timberwolves and Cavs. Then Rockets at home.

They don't want this to be over yet.....that was big win versus the Bucks on Saturday. Able to have a good start and able to sustain the effort throughout the whole game. Something they haven't been doing for awhile.

A big win versus a solid team and on the road AND without Suggs, is a big deal !!! A confidence boost for sure.

Win was a collective effort, you can tell by the +/- stat. Paolo, Franz and KCP all negative.

I honestly think we've reached "everything that can be said about this team has been said about this team" territory. We all know what we need. We all know what we'd have liked at the deadline. We all know injuries suck. We all know who we'd like to move on from (there's some debate between folks on this but most of those conversations have happened already and minds likely won't be changed). We all know this season has sucked. We all know Mose's flaws. We all know Weltman's flaws. We all know that this season likely ends with us in the play in game and then a first round out.

I'm begging for us to make moves this summer just so there are new things to talk about.

You said it best, there is a lot of „We know..“.

 but does that include our coach and also our fo? I highly doubt it. Lonnie Walker could have been dyed fairly cheap. He checks a lot of those boxes we need right now. Yet we didn’t seem to approach him. 

Kilian Hayes can be had off the streets right now. Checks lesser boxes, but is still a massive upgrade at our current Guard rotation.

+1

If we go in the play in, we still need to escape that to lose in the first round. But overall I agree, not a lot more to comment, only thing I'll be interested into is the reaction of the guys as a group. We've seen how tight they were when everything was going well, now it's important to see the reaction in tough times. Will tell us more about Paolo and Franz, and also if someone is able to step up in the supporting cast.

Wendell can't do nothing with Sengun. Also, I can't wait til the day we get a catch and shoot guy. It's hard watching Franz with the hitch on his shot in those situations. He seem to hesitate a bit in those situations.

[fan for too long 2 565]

Mosely=clown. not challenging an obvious play that Franz was screaming to challenge shows how clueless this guy is. 

[JJZFL 700]

AB really isn’t doing much on the offensive end tonight. He dribbles the ball slowly up the court, hangs around for a few seconds, then just dumps it off.  He is just not the kind of quick guard who darts in and out of the opponent defense that we need.

we're imploding. bad 3rd once again. Death, taxes and magic bad 3rd quarter.
