Forgot to mention….how ****ing great is it to see clutch offense that’s not 100% hero ball. We had different actions to get every player a chance at different times. There was no possession Don stands with the ball for 10 seconds to waste the clock into a 17 dribble combo. There’s no totem pole for this team and it’s great.

I know it’s all about the big picture yaddda yaddda yadda…..Its understandable if that’s what you enjoy about the NBA. There’s no incentive besides the championship and that’s all that matters. But for me, the NBA is and will always be about the night to night competition. It’s just fun to watch a team win because they really ****ing want to win that night. It doesn’t always have to be about what the win means for the long term future about the team.
 
That was freaking awesome!
Vanderbilt, Kessler, and markkanen should be a part of the future team.
Clarkson was fantastic vintage clarkson.
Beasley had a nice hot streak (I have a feeling im not going to like him)
I dont like KO at all though he had some nice moments. Felt like he almost lost the game by himself at the end of the 4th quarter.
Rudy Gay needs to ride pine and some new guys (the euro guy and ochai or whatever his name is) need those minutes
Conley was ok.
Sexton played ok in the first half I thought but didn't play much at all down the stretch (did he even play in the second half?) I still think he will be good but just needs some time.
THT is entertaining as all hell.

I think Vanderbilt was my favorite player tonight. He lived up to the draymond green comparison except he is also likeable.

Cant wait for the next game!
 
It's bizarre how well a team can play in the clutch when it's not one player dominating the ball, dribbling out the shot clock each possession, and settling for horrible shot after horrible shot.
Holy crap this. (though we did kind of crap the bed after having a 7 point lead with like 1 minute and a half left to be fair)
 
I thought the review when they called a foul on olynyk was totally a foul on him. KAT had position and was boxing out and Kelly stuck his arm in there and was all over KAT. I think im pretty much alone on that though from reading the thread. I was shocked that the refs called a double foul after the review. Also didn't seem like it should be a jump cause rudy had clear easy possession (though he won the jump anyway)
